Streaming4D: Accelerate 4D World Models via Block-wise Video Generation and Incremental Reconstruction — Paper

Abstract

Current 4D generation paradigms are often bottlenecked by a sequential decoupling design: video is generated first, followed by 3D reconstruction, leading to high interaction latency. This limits applications in interactive real-time scenarios. To this end, we propose \textbf{Streaming4D}, a tightly coupled synchronous pipeline that integrates block-wise autoregressive video generation with incremental 3D reconstruction. Unlike traditional frame-by-frame emission and delayed geometry recovery, Streaming4D generates temporal video blocks and immediately triggers reconstruction for each completed block, enabling parallel execution between synthesis and geometric updates. This approach allows the world representation to evolve online with the video stream, reducing feedback latency while preserving geometric fidelity. We instantiate \textbf{Streaming4D} using a Self-Forcing-style autoregressive generator and an incremental reconstruction backend. Experiments show consistent runtime improvements across resolutions on a single RTX 4090 (1.24$\times$ speedup), while maintaining high-quality 4D geometry and multi-view consistency.

Claims are temporal and append-only: a new observation closes the previous claim (valid_to) instead of overwriting it. Conflicting claims from different sources are kept side by side and flagged — never averaged. Methodology →
