IMWM: Intuition Models Complement World Models for Latent Planning

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2606.01626v1 Announce Type: new Planning with a learned latent world model is a promising route to control from raw pixels, but a strong world model alone is not enough. We show this experimentally: even with a perfect world model (operationalized by replacing the learned forward predictor with an idealized rollout of the true environment dynamics), a finite-budget sample-based planner still fails on some tasks, indicating that the bottleneck can lie in search rather than in world-model accuracy.
