WorldCrafter debuts: a world model with persistent memory via 'soft skeleton' of 3D-aware latents

yshan2u introduces WorldCrafter, a world model with persistent memory that relies on neither rigid 3D geometry nor plain latent memory. Instead it builds a "soft skeleton" of 3D-aware latents.

The result is striking scene consistency when exploring, looking away, and returning—even in dynamic scenes. The author also links the underlying idea behind the approach.
