arXiv:2602.02259v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Latent action models (LAMs) offer a promising path to pre-training embodied agents on large amounts of action-free video. They infer latent actions between consecutive observations that can later be decoded to ground-truth actions using a small number of labels. However, recent work has shown that this recipe fails in the presence of action-correlated visual distractors common in real-world video, such as dynamic backgrounds, camera shake, or other moving objects. In these scenarios, the standard reconstruction objective drives latent actions
