arXiv:2607. 19518v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sophisticated Inference is a variant of active inference often associated with recursive belief modeling and tree search.

arXiv:2607. 20152v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Active Inference (AIF) frames adaptive behavior as the minimization of expected free energy (EFE), combining epistemic and pragmatic objectives within a single variational principle.

arXiv:2608. 14466v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: An autonomous robot efficiently exploring an unknown environment, such as looking for water sources on Mars, faces two simultaneous demands: building an accurate information map while quickly finding the regions of greatest value, and paying for every meter of travel and the cost of every measurement it takes.

arXiv:2606. 09311v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) have shown promising world modeling capabilities, enabling planning in latent space by optimizing action trajectories using methods like the Cross-Entropy Method (CEM).

arXiv:2607. 13612v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) are the dominant design for latent world models, yet they are usually justified by empirical performance rather than a normative principle.

arXiv:2608. 17167v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Active inference selects actions by minimising an expected free energy functional over predicted futures.
