CADRE is a family of causal video autoencoders developed for interactive world models. Its models explore different spatial and temporal video-compression settings, using frozen DINOv3 features and a causal diffusion decoder. Kyutai released the research paper, training and inference code, model weights, and an interactive demo. In the accompanying study, world models using CADRE were tested in human manipulation, robot manipulation, driving, and indoor navigation. The project examines how camera motion and compression choices affect responsiveness, motion quality, and action following.
