Track the Noise, Move the World:3D-Grounded Motion-Consistent Noise for Controllable Video Generation

Modern image-and-text-to-video diffusion models can synthesize highly realistic videos by iteratively denoising an initial Gaussian noise tensor conditioned on reference image and text inputs. However, existing approaches still lack precise and unified controllability over both object motion and camera motion within a single generation process. We present UniCaMo, a unified framework that enables simultaneous control of object trajectories and camera viewpoints by directly constructing the input noise of the diffusion model. Specifically, UniCaMo builds a shared 3D-grounded motion-consistent noise space across latent video frames. Sparse 3D point tracks are used to warp the Gaussian noise of the reference frame along desired object trajectories, while a virtual spherical noise representation provides globally consistent noise values for newly revealed scene regions under camera motion. By combining local track-guided noise warping with global sphere-based noise sampling, UniCaMo maintains geometric and temporal consistency under both object movement and viewpoint changes. Because UniCaMo modifies only the input noise, it requires no auxiliary adapters, control branches, or architectural changes to the underlying video diffusion model. With lightweight LoRA fine-tuning on large pretrained video diffusion models, including Wan 2.1 (14B), UniCaMo achieves state-of-the-art results in both video quality and motion controllability on standard controllable video generation benchmarks.

MobileWan: Closing the Quality Gap for Mobile Video Diffusion

Recent advances in video diffusion have been driven by scaling transformer-based architectures to billions of parameters, substantially improving visual fidelity and motion coherence. In contrast, existing mobile video diffusion models remain limited to relatively small parameter budgets, typically 0.4-1.8B, restricting generation quality. In this work, we show that high-quality mobile video generation does not require small models. Instead, we demonstrate that a server-scale 5B-parameter video diffusion transformer can be deployed efficiently on memory-constrained mobile hardware through recurrent reformulation and structured compression. Starting from Wan2.2-5B, we rely on a recurrence distillation framework that converts video generation into a chunk-wise autoregressive process with constant-memory attention computation. Combined with causal linear attention, the model operates as an RNN at inference time while preserving temporal coherence across chunks. We further propose a learnable attention head pruning method based on binary per-head gates optimized end-to-end using a noise-biased sparsity objective and distillation-based finetuning. Together with sampling-step distillation and memory-optimized VAE decoding, MobileWan becomes the first 5B-scale video diffusion model deployable on a commercial mobile device. Our system generates 5-second 480x832 videos at 16 FPS in 20 seconds end-to-end latency, achieving a VBench score of 83.79 and establishing a new state of the art in mobile video generation.
