Noncolinear spin textures, including domain walls and skyrmions, are pivotal for advancing memory and logic applications. Current-driven devices, however, often face challenges in multidimensional motion, demanding intricate fabrication and a comprehensive understanding of spin texture dynamics in multidimensional space. In this study, we investigate the displacement of chiral solitons in ferrimagnetic Pt/GdCo/Ta films using ultrafast laser pulses, allowing for motion over arbitrary distances and directions. We highlight the critical role of the DMI in ensuring reproducible domain wall motion, preventing a destabilization and domain randomization due to precessional dynamics. Furthermore, we find that a negative temperature derivative of the domain wall energy caused by a laser-induced transient thermal gradient can explain the observation. This stresses the importance of the compensation point for light-induced effects in ferrimagnets.
