Addressable Memory for Video World Models: WorldTrace

·2026.08.12 09:00

Key point

WorldTrace is a framework that helps video world models accurately remember and utilize past visual information even when the generation length exceeds the training scope.

Details

Autoregressive video world models suffer from a breakdown in Visual Persistence when the generation length exceeds the training scope. This occurs because, even if past observation data is in the cache, the model cannot read it (Addressability) or the signal cancels out, leading to information loss (Content fidelity), due to RoPE (Rotary Positional Embedding) offset issues.

WorldTrace is a framework that keeps compressed memory addressable without retraining the model. This approach assigns fixed positions to summary slots regardless of the current frame, ensuring that memory maintains a distribution within the training scope even as the generation length increases.

WorldTrace provides two complementary mechanisms:

  • WorldTrace-Field: Aligns Keys to a common Canonical topology and averages them to maintain consistent visual flow during long Rollouts.
  • WorldTrace-Landmark: Stores scene entry frames as-is to help the model accurately Recall scenes it has previously visited.
