arXiv:2606. 26217v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs), including recent LeWorldModel (LeWM), have become a promising foundation for reconstruction-free visual world models.

arXiv:2608. 11605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) couple future visual prediction with robot action generation, enabling policies to model how the physical world evolves during interaction.

arXiv:2606. 31232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning visual world models for planning requires compact latent dynamics that remain sensitive to actions, yet reconstruction-free joint-embedding objectives can collapse to action-insensitive representations.

arXiv:2606. 10620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image generation models now produce high-quality static images, yet their ability to represent how a visual world changes over time remains poorly understood.

arXiv:2606. 13053v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pretrained-feature world models provide a useful substrate for robot imagination, but visual or latent prediction alone does not determine whether an imagined future satisfies task-relevant events.

arXiv:2607. 22430v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning world models that infer environment dynamics from high-dimensional observations and predict outcomes under candidate actions is central to planning and control.
