SpikeWorld: Fast-State Adaptation for Frozen Spiking World Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.07712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A predictive model receives a self-supervised signal whenever the consequence of an action is observed. Using that signal after deployment is difficult when dynamics and semantics share parameters: freezing prevents adaptation, whereas weight updates require optimizer state and may alter the learned representation. Here we introduce SpikeWorld, a 1.45M-parameter sparse spiking model jointly trained for heterogeneous sensory prediction, semantics, image-text binding and action-conditioned dynamics. At deployment, all trained parameters are froze
