Training Object Permanence in World Models

209 upvotes · 23 SEP 2026 · Haotian Zhang, Fengyuan Yu, Dezhi Luo et al.

This paper investigates whether video generation models, which are a type of world model, have a basic understanding of object permanence and can be improved through training. Practitioners interested in building human-like physical intelligence may care about this research as it could lead to more realistic and interactive AI systems.
