arXiv:2511.09057v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A world model is a cognitive simulator of the real-world environment allowing biological agents to reason about how the world evolves, whethe...
arXiv:2606. 00133v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models, internal simulators that learn the structure and dynamics of an environment, have emerged as a central paradigm in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence, enabling agents to predict, plan, and reason within learned representations.

arXiv:2601.13247v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit a critical modal disconnect: they possess vast semantic knowledge but lack the procedural ground...
arXiv:2607. 13560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in generative and embodied AI have been driven by large-scale predictive learning over multimodal data.
The paper introduces Imagine-then-Plan (ITP), a framework that lets agents learn by interacting with a learned world model to generate multi-step imagined trajectories. ITP features an adaptive lookahead mechanism that balances ultimate goals with task progress, producing richer signals about future outcomes. Experiments on various benchmarks show that ITP outperforms existing baselines, and analyses suggest the adaptive lookahead improves reasoning for complex tasks.
arXiv:2606. 07974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A learned world model provides a powerful physical intuition for evaluating future states.
arXiv:2609.36985v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The central challenge of world modeling is to learn representations that capture how the world evolves. However, existing world models predominantly...
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.
arXiv:2511. 22226v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The standard theory of model-free reinforcement learning assumes that the environment dynamics are stationary and that agents are decoupled from their environment, such that policies are treated as being separate from the world they inhabit.
arXiv:2604. 22748v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As AI systems move from generating text to accomplishing goals through sustained interaction, the ability to model environment dynamics becomes a central bottleneck.
