Golden Anchor for Video Generation
State-of-the-art systems achieve controllability primarily through image-to-video (I2V) generation, in which an injected anchor image determines the identity, composition, and style of the resulting video.

Key points
- Video generation supports digital content creation, with applications in virtual avatars, AI-driven filmmaking, interactive game engines, and world models.
- This raises a largely overlooked question: Are images obtained directly from the T2I model truly suitable for current video models?
- Fine-tuning the T2I model on an image reward accordingly yields anchors with visibly denser structural and character detail: they score higher on image metrics, yet lower the video reward on every I2V model we test and change downstream motion unpredictably.
- We therefore introduce Golden Anchor Learning (GAL), to our knowledge the first framework for learning golden anchors by optimizing a T2I generator with downstream video feedback.
