Interactive World Models Need Their Own Compression Trade-off
CADRE tests causal video autoencoders across spatial and temporal compression instead of inheriting assumptions from offline video generation.
Summary
CADRE tests causal video autoencoders across spatial and temporal compression instead of inheriting assumptions from offline video generation.
Interactive world models pay for every latent frame in response time. CADRE holds most components constant while varying spatial and temporal compression across manipulation and navigation settings. The study finds different optima: temporal compression costs less when a manipulation camera stays still, while spatial compression is more useful when navigation moves the camera. At high compression, a diffusion decoder was sharper than perceptual regression. The result is a latency-quality study across four environments, not a universal recipe for every simulator.
