V3D Video Diffusion Models are Effective 3D Generators Automatic 3D generation has recently attracted widespread attention. Recent methods have greatly accelerated the generation speed, but usually produce less-detailed objects due to limited model capacity or 3D data. Motivated by recent advancements in video diffusion models, we introduce V3D, which leverages the world simulation capacity of pre-trained video diffusion models to facilitate 3D generation. To fully unleash the potential of video diffusion to perceive the 3D world, we further introduce geometrical consistency prior and extend the video diffusion model to a multi-view consistent 3D generator. Benefiting from this, the state-of-the-art video diffusion model could be fine-tuned to generate 360degree orbit frames surrounding an object given a single image. With our tailored reconstruction pipelines, we can generate high-quality meshes or 3D Gaussians within 3 minutes. Furthermore, our method can be extended to scene-level novel view synthesis, achieving precise control over the camera path with sparse input views. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach, especially in terms of generation quality and multi-view consistency

Our research team just released Flex-Forcing: a video generation method that lets a single model switch between generation methods at inference time. Right now there are two main approaches to video generation. Bidirectional diffusion models attend to every frame at once, holding structure well at the cost of speed. Autoregressive models generate frame by frame, so they stream fast and scale to long clips, but accumulate error and drift over time. Flex-Forcing trains a single model to do both, letting you choose from the range at inference based on your compute budget.

Been thinking about what this paper really means. "Video diffusion" and "World Models" are becoming synonymous. Neural Computers are basically video diffusion world models for terminal envs and GUI. Lots of talk last week about automating Manim videos. In theory, we should be able to train these world models on a 10000 hours of diverse manim videos and "see where it goes" If a NC can generate outputs to terminal commands, it should be able to generate videos like this directly from prompt too. Without writing code.

Diffusion models make great images. But can they drive robots? Usually that gets complicated really fast. We figured out how to get a Stable Diffusion model (based on Instruct pix2pix) to drive robotic instruction following. Simple recipe, works on a wide range of tasks. Thread👇

Today's autoregressive models generate one token at a time. Mercury 2 generates tokens in parallel. Over 1,000 tok/sec on standard GPUs, at comparable quality to speed-optimized models. Since launch, the community has been showing what diffusion LLMs can unlock. Thanks to the team at Clyep for the breakdown.

TokenFlow: Consistent Diffusion Features for Consistent Video Editing paper page: The generative AI revolution has recently expanded to videos. Nevertheless, current state-of-the-art video models are still lagging behind image models in terms of visual quality and user control over the generated content. In this work, we present a framework that harnesses the power of a text-to-image diffusion model for the task of text-driven video editing. Specifically, given a source video and a target text-prompt, our method generates a high-quality video that adheres to the target text, while preserving the spatial layout and motion of the input video. Our method is based on a key observation that consistency in the edited video can be obtained by enforcing consistency in the diffusion feature space. We achieve this by explicitly propagating diffusion features based on inter-frame correspondences, readily available in the model. Thus, our framework does not require any training or fine-tuning, and can work in conjunction with any off-the-shelf text-to-image editing method. We demonstrate state-of-the-art editing results on a variety of real-world videos.

🤔The more I studied diffusion language models, the more I came to appreciate the simplicity of autoregressive (AR) language models. AR models are trained to agree with what they generate, and their serving stacks are built to preserve that structure. DLMs often do neither: they lack introspective consistency, and high TPF does not necessarily translate into high real-world TPS. We propose Introspective Diffusion Language Model (I-DLM), which unifies introspection and generation in a single pass: 1. 🧑‍🎓I-DLM brings introspective consistency to DLMs with only 5B training tokens, achieving AR-thinking-level quality. 2. 🚀 I-DLM carefully trades compute for higher TPF while converting that advantage into real TPS under high-concurrency serving. 📖Website: ⌨️Code:

📢 Lyra: Generative 3D Scene Reconstruction via Video Diffusion Model Self-Distillation Got only one or a few images and wondering if recovering the 3D environment is a reconstruction or generation problem? Why not do it with a generative reconstruction model! We show that a camera-conditioned video diffusion model can be transformed into a generative reconstruction model that directly outputs a high-quality 3D Gaussian Splatting representation through self-distillation, without requiring real-world training data. Check out our results in the video (wait for dynamic scenes in the second half!) : Project Page: Code and Models: Paper:

Super excited to introduce Pandora, a generative video World Model interactively controllable by language. #Sora and #GPT4 are both powerful. How about fusing them in a single model? 💥 Pandora gives a preview:🔭 > Build a General World Model (GWM) super efficiently by integrating pretrained autoregressive LLM and diffusion Video Model, aligning them in the representation space. > Let the LLM control the VM on-the-fly. Instruction tuning maximizes the controllability. > Autoregressive LLM empowers VM to generate indefinitely long videos: Starting with a VM for 2-second videos, Pandora extends it for 8-second videos. Would #Sora+#GPT4 under Pandora produce hours-long videos? 📽️ > World Model is beyond just video generation. It’s sensory-level information processing + concept-level reasoning and reflection. Pandora bridges both, with the concept- / language-level backbone (LLM) managing & steering the sensory-level VM functionalities. 👁️🧠 Check out for a bunch of interesting results:
