arXiv:2607. 10203v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adaptive-compute world models -- early-exit or mixture-of-depths predictors that spend variable depth per step -- assume depth buys better predictions and can be routed adaptively.

arXiv:2607. 06925v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compact world models that condition on a language goal promise to ground relations such as ``put the red block left of the blue block'' using a sparse set of explicit \emph{reference anchors}.

The paper introduces a sparse, residual world model that focuses on predicting only the changes in a scene by using a per-object change gate and a residual delta head. On a MuJoCo tabletop pushing benchmark, this approach outperforms a dense multilayer perceptron, achieving 2.5 to 4.6 times better next‑state pose accuracy with 8.6 to 11.1 times fewer parameters, maintaining high change‑detection F1 scores, and showing strong transfer across object counts. In autoregressive rollout and sampling‑based planning, the sparse model accumulates less error and enables successful planning where dense models fail.

arXiv:2607. 16821v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Task arithmetic, sequential fine-tuning, activation steering, and first-order random search all operate through relatively small perturbations around an already trained checkpoint, and they rely on different local approximations: individual perturbations should be first-order predictable, task updates should compose with controlled interference, useful tangent structure should be stable and possible to estimate, and weight edits should have counterparts in representation space.

Abstract: One implicit DDIM inversion step is the cheapest probe of whether a pretrained diffusion model encodes local manifold geometry. It is the stationarity...
