Abstract
JoyAI-Echo-1.5 unifies long-form video and interactive world generation through cross-shot memory, geometry-aware camera control, and rollout-aware training to maintain identity and coherence over extended sequences.
Video generation is progressing beyond isolated clips toward long-form narratives and interactive worlds, requiring models to preserve identities, follow user controls, and remain stable over extended rollouts. We present JoyAI-Echo-1.5, a unified audio-visual generation system with two purpose-built variants. The long-video variant introduces composablecross-shot memorythat aggregates visual evidence across multiple prior shots andspeaker cuesderived from speech-filtered full-shot audio, enabling persistent character appearance and voice identity across flexible combinations of text, image, and memory conditioning. The world-model variant converts heterogeneous navigation inputs into calibrated metric6-DoF camera trajectoriesand injects them through ageometry-aware conditioningpathway, enabling controller-agnostic interaction across flexible viewpoints. To support efficient long-horizon generation, we transform abidirectional audio-visual backboneinto acausal few-step generatorusingprogressive teacher forcingand short- and long-horizonSelf-Gradient Forcingonself-generated rollouts. Experiments demonstrate strong performance in both settings. JoyAI-Echo-1.5 achieves improvements over existing long-video baselines in cross-shot consistency, visual quality, text alignment, and speech fidelity. Its world-model variant ranks first on WBench, with an average score of 81.7, and achieves leading visual quality and long-horizon persistence on SANA-WM-Bench. Together, these results indicate that memory, geometric control, and rollout-aware training provide a practical foundation for generating coherent stories and continuously evolving interactive worlds.
