DecMem: Towards Minute-Long Consistent World Generation with Decoupled Memory

Recent advances in video generative models have promoted rapid progress in controllable world models. However, maintaining fine-grained spatio-temporal consistency under long-horizon reasoning remains a key challenge. In this work, we move beyond explicit 3D memory and coarse frame-level implicit modeling, and propose a fine-grained, learnable, and scalable memory for consistent world generation. We first identify two fundamental limitations of naïve learnable memory architectures in long-horizon extrapolation, namely computational inefficiency and attention dispersion. Through a systematic analysis of attention dispersion, we propose DecMem, a decoupled memory architecture that employs Sparse Global Memory for efficient fine-grained access to global history and Anchored Local Memory for stable and high-quality extrapolation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DecMem significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods. By ensuring precise and efficient long-term memory and achieving superior extrapolation capabilities, DecMem enables minute-level controllable long video generation with high fidelity and consistency.

RectifID: Personalizing Rectified Flow with Anchored Classifier Guidance

Customizing diffusion models to generate identity-preserving images from user-provided reference images is an intriguing new problem. The prevalent approaches typically require training on extensive domain-specific images to achieve identity preservation, which lacks flexibility across different use cases. To address this issue, we exploit classifier guidance, a training-free technique that steers diffusion models using an existing classifier, for personalized image generation. Our study shows that based on a recent rectified flow framework, the major limitation of vanilla classifier guidance in requiring a special classifier can be resolved with a simple fixed-point solution, allowing flexible personalization with off-the-shelf image discriminators. Moreover, its solving procedure proves to be stable when anchored to a reference flow trajectory, with a convergence guarantee. The derived method is implemented on rectified flow with different off-the-shelf image discriminators, delivering advantageous personalization results for human faces, live subjects, and certain objects.
