arXiv:2607. 17973v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models have emerged as a powerful planning paradigm by learning action-conditioned predictive dynamics and using them as internal simulators to imagine and evaluate candidate action sequences.

arXiv:2608. 12959v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent world models are judged by how well they predict, so when planning fails at long horizons the natural reading is that the predictor degrades.

arXiv:2608. 14125v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LeWM is a lightweight visual world model that learns latent dynamics end-to-end from pixels and ranks candidate action sequences by the distance between their predicted endpoints and the goal.

arXiv:2605. 08732v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern vision-based world models can represent observations as compact yet expressive latent manifolds, but fast goal-oriented planning in these spaces remains challenging.

arXiv:2601. 00969v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models provide strong action priors for robotic manipulation, but their reactive behavior can fail under distribution shift and long-horizon task structure.

arXiv:2608. 14761v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: At a finite public-chance cut, counterfactual regret minimization (CFR) must choose how many outcomes to evaluate before each regret update.

arXiv:2608. 16287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint-embedding predictive world models plan by scoring predicted terminal embeddings against a goal embedding using a cost defined on the representation itself.
By Jiaming Hu, Yan Zheng, Tian Wang
arXiv:2608. 00832v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structured plan-generation agents are often evaluated as if a plan has quality in isolation, yet many realistic planning tasks require asking how a candidate behaves when another agent can search for responses.

arXiv:2606. 09028v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent world models are increasingly used for control and goal-conditioned planning, yet assessing whether their learned representations are useful for planning usually requires slow, planner-coupled simulator evaluation with CEM or similar planners.

arXiv:2607. 17240v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When does a committed intermediate stage in an LLM reasoning pipeline earn its cost?

arXiv:2606. 06014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models (LWMs) have strengthened end-to-end autonomous driving by forecasting compact scene dynamics for downstream planning.

arXiv:2608. 10145v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LeWorldModel trains a latent world model with a prediction loss and a single anti-collapse regulariser, and reports approximately 87% of goals reached on TwoRoom, its simplest diagnostic environment.
