We introduce Latent Particle World Model (LPWM), a self-supervised object-centric world model scaled to real-world multi-object datasets and applicable in decision-making. LPWM autonomously discovers keypoints, bounding boxes, and object masks directly from video data, enabling it to learn rich scene decompositions without supervision. Our architecture is trained end-to-end purely from videos and supports flexible conditioning on actions, language, and image goals. LPWM models stochastic particle dynamics via a novel latent action module and achieves state-of-the-art results on diverse real-world and synthetic datasets. Beyond stochastic video modeling, LPWM is readily applicable to decision-making, including goal-conditioned imitation learning, as we demonstrate in the paper. Code, data, pre-trained models and video rollouts are available: https://taldatech.github.io/lpwm-web
