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:2606. 30068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint-embedding predictive (JEPA-style) objectives learn representations by predicting future latents.

arXiv:2605. 08732v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern vision-based world models can represent observations as compact yet expressive latent manifolds, but fast goal-oriented planning in these spaces remains challenging.

arXiv:2606. 16515v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman theory implies that the optimal goal-conditioned action depends on the goal only through the gradient of the goal-reaching distance at the current state, yet standard online GCRL still conditions the actor on the raw goal -- a signal that is geometrically uninformative when the goal is far from the data distribution.

arXiv:2508. 01718v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop a physics-informed policy-iteration method for stationary second-order Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equations arising in continuous-time stochastic control.

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.
