Researchers have introduced "World-in-World," a novel platform designed to evaluate generative world models (WMs) in closed-loop environments that simulate real-world agent-environment interactions. This platform prioritizes task success over visual quality, revealing that controllability is more crucial than visual fidelity for WMs. The study also found that post-training on action-observation data is more effective than upgrading video generators, and that allocating more inference time significantly improves closed-loop performance. Separately, a new model called EVOKE 14B has been released, which is a 3-step, CFG-free autoregressive world model for interactive world generation that decouples world state from generation, allowing for persistent state and extended coherent sessions.
