C$^3$ache: Accelerating World Action Models with Cross Inference Chunk Cache

arXiv:2606. 08962v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) generalize better than standard Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies to novel motions and environments, because a video-modeling objective lets them learn from abundant unlabeled video rather than scarce labeled robot demonstrations.

Kairos: A Native World Model Stack for Physical AI

arXiv:2606. 16533v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models are transitioning from passive visual generators to foundational, operational infrastructure for Physical AI: they must natively acquire world knowledge from heterogeneous experience, maintain persistent states over long horizons, and execute efficiently within real deployment constraints.
