InternW0-$\Delta$: A World Action Model Bridging Predictive Dynamics and Actions with 20K+ Hours of Open Data

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.

Being-M0.7: A Latent World-Action Model for Humanoid Robots

Being‑M0.7 is a latent world‑action model that learns from a large mixed‑modality human dataset (over 10,000 hours of video‑only, motion‑only, and paired video‑motion data) to predict future latent visual states and motion. The model is pre‑trained on human data, adapted to robot viewpoints during mid‑training, and then combined with an action expert via gated cross‑attention during post‑training to produce executable whole‑body commands. In experiments, Being‑M0.7 outperforms baselines on the SIMPLE benchmark and matches the best baseline on real‑world Unitree G1 loco‑manipulation tasks.

World-Ego Modeling for Embodied Video Generation in Long-Horizon Navigation-Manipulation Tasks

The paper introduces the World-Ego Model (WEM), which separates an embodied video into a background‐only world component and an ego component comprising the robot and manipulated objects. By using role‑conditioned attention and asymmetric query budgets for state prediction, coupled with a semantic‑routed mixture‑of‑experts diffusion generator, WEM disentangles the generation of scene evolution and instruction following. The authors also release HTEWorld, a large dataset of 125K training clips and 300 evaluation trajectories for long‑horizon navigation‑manipulation tasks, and demonstrate that WEM outperforms prior methods on this benchmark.

DELE-w0.5: Inferring Action from Future Latent State for Robotic Manipulation

DELE-w0.5 is a robotic manipulation framework that predicts future latent states instead of generating full video sequences, thereby inferring robot actions directly from these compact representations. By focusing on physical state changes rather than visual transitions, it reduces model complexity and inference latency. In 480 real‑robot trials across four long‑horizon tasks, DELE‑w0.5 achieved 62.5 % overall task success and 81.3 % macro ordered‑stage progress, outperforming the strongest baseline by 47.5 and 30.7 percentage points.

ZimaBlue: Evolving Generalizable World Action Models through Scalable Video Pre-training

ZimaBlue is a scalable framework that learns generalizable World Action Models (WAMs) from large-scale egocentric videos. It follows a three-stage curriculum: causal video pre‑training, video‑action mid‑training with a unified action representation, and final specialization to a target robot. The system employs an asynchronous Slow‑Fast architecture to enable real‑time 30 Hz action prediction, achieving a jump in real‑robot zero‑shot success from 36.1% to 77.8% when leveraging over 120,000 hours of embodied video.
