Flow-JEPA: Flow Matching for Robust Latent Dynamics in JEPA World Models

Flow-JEPA introduces a conditional flow matching dynamics model that generates a sequence of future latent states conditioned on current observations and actions, replacing deterministic autoregressive prediction with stochastic trajectory-level prediction. By using a Gaussian flow source, the model learns to transport perturbed latent trajectories toward clean future representations while remaining within the reconstruction‑free JEPA framework. The approach improves mean success rates from 86% to 92% under clean observations and from 67% to 86% under noisy conditions.

Variational Streaming Flow: Probabilistic Forecasting in Physical Time

Variational Streaming Flow (VSF) extends the efficient Streaming Flow (SF) framework by learning a latent distribution conditioned on system dynamics, enabling probabilistic forecasting in physical time. Unlike SF’s deterministic velocity field, VSF produces multiple plausible future trajectories, improving predictive accuracy and distributional fidelity across deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems. The method supports long‑horizon rollouts over 1,000 steps, handles bifurcating dynamics, and can be integrated as a plug‑and‑play predictor into Joint‑Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) world models to enhance navigation, motion planning, and manipulation tasks.
