RAR: Rate-Adaptive Rollout for Time-Consistent Interactive World Models

To address both limitations, we introduce Rate-Adaptive Rollout (RAR), a framework that enables interactive world models to roll out at controllable temporal rates.

Key points

  • Video-based interactive world models aim to enable real-time, user-controllable environments.
  • Yet most existing systems are trained and rolled out at a fixed temporal rate, limiting both runtime-rate adaptation and physical-horizon coverage -- a limitation we term temporal-rate coupling.
  • Moreover, using a single temporal rate imposes an inherent trade-off between temporal granularity and physical horizon: higher rates capture finer motion but cover a shorter duration under a fixed context window.
  • Across action- and camera-controlled environments, RAR achieves temporally consistent multi-rate rollout and online rate switching while preserving high-rate generation quality and extending physical horizons under matched training budgets.
