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. A single checkpoint that serves both would defer this choice to inference, when deployment constraints (rollout cost, observation accessibility) determine which path wins.
arXiv:2608. 07809v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A world model is only useful for physical AI if it changes what the agent does, and only safe if it declines to do so when it is wrong.

arXiv:2607. 10362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models are trained to predict future states in a learned representation and are then deployed inside a planner that selects actions by simulating them forward.

arXiv:2607. 14169v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can synthesize a game's rules as executable code - a Code World Model (CWM) - which a classical planner then searches over.

arXiv:2608. 12959v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent world models are judged by how well they predict, so when planning fails at long horizons the natural reading is that the predictor degrades.
