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.

arXiv:2607. 04978v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) underpin a growing family of latent world models for control from raw pixels, but every existing JEPA world model commits at training time to a single inference paradigm: either trajectory optimisation in a learned dynamics model, or direct behaviour cloning.
