Amortized Low-Rank Adaptation for Model-Based Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces CLAW, a method that uses a hypernetwork to generate low‑rank adapters for world models during test time, enabling efficient adaptation to new environments with only a few episodes of interaction. By jointly pretraining the hypernetwork and base model on simulated adaptations, CLAW balances computational efficiency and expressivity, outperforming both in‑context learning and gradient‑based adaptation in locomotion and manipulation tasks. The approach also mitigates overfitting in data‑scarce regimes and demonstrates that the benefit stems from expressive adapters rather than context conditioning.
