**QUESTION** — How can an open-ended 3D world model be built to stream playable terrain, respond to open-ended language, and restore edited locations persistently?

The paper presents WorldStream, an open-ended 3D world model with three simultaneous capabilities: extending playable terrain beyond pre-specified maps, acting on open-ended language, and restoring visited places with edits. A hierarchical planner over a typed decision model emits structured decision state at Macro and Micro levels. Deterministic local code compiles accepted plans into terrain, roads, settlements, and entities. A single world record retains plans, seeds, object identities, mutable state, and attribute edits, enabling the world to expand under bounded budgets while remaining interactive.

RiseHarness is a framework that iteratively improves agent harnesses with fixed model weights to bridge the gap between capability and reliable execution. It targets tasks with mixed success and failure runs, leveraging runtime monitor traces and agent trajectories to examine command execution, feedback, and context management. A Harness Handbook links these insights to source code to resolve recurring problems. Candidate changes undergo behavioral checks and repeated evaluation to seed subsequent optimization iterations.

_training · 11 upvotes_

**QUESTION** — How can image editing quality degradation across multiple sequential turns be prevented under accumulating distribution shift?

ACEdit introduces a training scheme to stabilize multi-turn image editing against accumulating distribution shifts by enforcing Self-Forcing, where the student operates on its own previous outputs during training. To handle deviations in self-generated trajectories, a distillation objective leverages a teacher image editor anchored to the original clean image under compound instructions. This asymmetric conditioning scheme substantially reduces quality degradation over long sequences while maintaining instruction adherence.

### 24. [Verus-Insight: Towards Explainable Artifact Detection in AI-Generated Videos](https://consonance.fyi/en/lecture/arxiv%3A2610.30866.md)

_evaluation · 18 upvotes_

**QUESTION** — How can artifact detectors for AI-generated videos be structured to ensure explainable and reliable source decisions?

The authors formulate artifact detection for AI-generated videos as a structured process comprising Inspection Planning, Evidence Verification, and Evidence Aggregation. Building on this, they introduce Verus-Insight, trained with human-anchored full-process supervision and progressive capability training. They also release Verus-Bench, a benchmark with fine-grained human annotations of perceptible artifacts, demonstrating strong performance in fine-grained artifact analysis and video-level detection without increasing spurious claims.
