arXiv:2606. 09936v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models are now built on substantially different computational substrates.
arXiv:2511. 05963v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers replace recurrence with a memory that grows with sequence length and self-attention that enables ad-hoc lookups over past tokens.
arXiv:2608. 07420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models are expected to support imagination over extended temporal horizons, yet most are still trained through local few-step prediction objectives and deployed by recursively rolling out their own predictions.
arXiv:2606. 07974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A learned world model provides a powerful physical intuition for evaluating future states.
arXiv:2605. 30880v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: World models for interactive text agents must typically be learned from observation-action trajectories alone.
arXiv:2607. 01531v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning how an environment behaves from interaction is central to building agents that adapt to unfamiliar tasks.
arXiv:2603. 22281v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent progress in latent world models (e.
arXiv:2608. 11216v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World modeling is an unsettled field: architectures, training objectives, and state representations interact in complex ways, and no single recipe dominates across environments.
arXiv:2607. 16204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent growth in reinforcement learning (RL) has surfaced a need for diverse, specialized training environments.
arXiv:2602. 23164v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Foundation models must handle multiple generative processes, yet mechanistic interpretability largely studies capabilities in isolation; it remains unclear how a single transformer organizes multiple, potentially conflicting "world models".
arXiv:2602. 10352v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-interpretation methods prompt language models to describe their own internal states, but remain unreliable due to hyperparameter sensitivity.
Continually improving agents require dynamic interaction feedback beyond static supervision, yet direct real-environment interaction is costly, slow, unsafe, and hard to parallelize. World modeling offers a natural intermediate proxy that allows agents to query lower-cost, more controllable feedback before committing to real actions.
