arXiv:2605.26282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model-based reinforcement learning (RL) can be effectively supported at scale through the use of world models. However, in practice, scaling such approaches remains fundamentally limited. A commonly recognized challenge is model bias and error compounding, which degrade long-horizon predictions. Beyond these issues, we identify a more critical yet underexplored bottleneck: a structural misalignment between search and value learning in existing world model approaches. In particular, policy improvement often relies on value functions induced by a s
The continuous drive to scale AI and improve decision-making in complex environments necessitates overcoming current limitations in reinforcement learning models.
Improving world models for reinforcement learning could unlock more capable AI agents and systems, impacting applications from robotics to complex control systems.
This research identifies a critical bottleneck in scaling world-model RL, suggesting a new path for architectural improvements that could lead to more robust and scalable AI.
