World model forecasts future 3D geometry directly without recursive rollouts

GeoWM uses a geometry foundation model and flow-matching transformer to predict depth, camera pose, and 3D point clouds at arbitrary horizons, outperforming video- and feature-based world models with drastically lower inference time.
