LePlanner: An Iterative Amortized Controller For World Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.13845v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models trained with joint-embedding predictive architectures learn compact, structured latent representations from physical interaction, yet planning in these latent spaces typically relies on one of two costly approaches. Search-based planners such as CEM, MPPI, and iCEM optimize action sequences through many predictor rollouts, achieving strong performance at the cost of high per-decision compute and latency. Policy-based methods amortize inference into a single forward pass but can degrade on contact-rich tasks where the demonstration
