Think Before You Diffuse: Infusing Physical Rules into Video Diffusion

arXiv 2025 47.4 method

TLDR

DiffPhy infuses physical rules into video diffusion via LLM-guided verification and attention injection, enabling physically-correct, photo-realistic video generation.

Reasoning

The paper presents a well-motivated framework combining LLMs and video diffusion for physics-aware generation, with strong empirical validation on benchmarks. However, the abstract lacks details on limitations and baseline comparisons, and the connection to 'world models' is indirect.
