InternW0-Δ is a unified World Action Model that integrates pretrained visual dynamics, scene semantics, 4D geometry, and motion priors within a Mixture-of-Transformers framework to generate robot actions. It leverages a frozen VLM for semantic guidance, a 4D foundation model for geometric priors, and introduces Causal Imprint to learn future-relevant scene changes without future-video rollout. The model is pretrained on a newly curated 20K‑hour heterogeneous corpus of robot and human demonstrations, achieving superior performance on simulation benchmarks and real‑robot platforms.

The paper investigates whether the sparsity of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models leads to intrinsic semantic organization across modalities and domains. It shows that experts naturally specialize semantically even without explicit modular training. The authors propose ExpertLens, a data‑free method that decodes router weights to identify domain‑specialized experts, enabling selective fine‑tuning that matches or exceeds full fine‑tuning while updating only 21.7–47.0% of parameters and achieving a 4.0× speedup, outperforming LoRA in both performance and efficiency.

EviRover is a perception agent that goes beyond a single glance by actively gathering information to resolve perceptual queries. The authors created two data generation pipelines, producing EviRover-SFT-5K and EviRover-RL-12K, and a human‑verified benchmark called EviLens with 688 instances across five perception categories. Trained with supervised fine‑tuning and agentic reinforcement learning, the 4B EviRover outperforms its backbone by an average of 30 points on EviLens and shows strong transfer to other benchmarks such as WebEyes and BrowseComp‑VL.
