• Abstract: World models have recently achieved impressive progress in visual prediction and interactive generation, but extending them to multi-agent environments introduces a fundamental scalability challenge. Existing methods generally assume a fixed number of agents during training and inference, which ties the model to a pre-determined agent population and limits inference-time scalability. Our key insight is that cross-view consistency should arise from a shared world state whose evolution does not assume a predefined number of agents, while agent-specific observations should be generated by querying this state through a unified rendering interface. Based on this insight, we propose Khora, a scalable multi-agent world model that supports inference-time expansion to arbitrary numbers of agents without retraining. Our framework decouples world-state evolution from visual rendering and introduces a population-agnostic rendering mechanism for incorporating other agent information. This design maintains cross-view consistency through the shared world state rather than through dense interactions among observation streams inside the expensive video generator, enabling approximately linear practical scaling with the number of queried views. Qualitative experiments demonstrate that our approach generalizes to unseen numbers of agents while maintaining visual quality and multi-agent consistency. We further implement a real-time interactive system to demonstrate scalable open-world simulation.

  Multi-agent imitation learning aims to train multiple agents to perform tasks from demonstrations by learning a mapping between observations and actions. In this paper, we propose to use copula, a powerful statistical tool for capturing dependence among random variables, to explicitly model the correlation and coordination in multi-agent systems. Our proposed model is able to separately learn marginals that capture the local behavioral patterns of each individual agent, as well as a copula function that solely and fully captures the dependence structure among agents.
