arXiv:2606.09028v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent world models are increasingly used for control and goal-conditioned planning, yet assessing whether their learned representations are useful for planning usually requires slow, planner-coupled simulator evaluation with CEM or similar planners. Such evaluation is black-box and model-complexity-dependent: under the same protocol, different world models may require minutes to hours per checkpoint. In this work, we propose ATM, an Action-Consistency Transfer Matrix for diagnosing whether latent transitions preserve action semantics relevant
This research addresses a critical bottleneck in the development of advanced latent world models, as their complexity increases and traditional evaluation methods become prohibitively slow and opaque.
Improved diagnostic tools for world models can significantly accelerate their development, leading to more robust and deployable AI systems for complex tasks like autonomous control and planning.
The ability to more efficiently and transparently evaluate latent world models will enable faster iteration and better understanding of their internal workings, overcoming a major hurdle in AI research and deployment.
