DreamWAM: Beyond RGB Future Prediction for World Action Models

World Action Models (WAMs) learn action-relevant representations by predicting how the observed world will evolve. Most existing WAMs define this future in RGB space, where task-relevant state transitions are entangled with nuisance variations in texture, illumination, background, and viewpoint. We argue that WAMs should explicitly predict action-relevant future state rather than relying on RGB prediction alone. We introduce DreamWAM, which reformulates future prediction as structured world modeling beyond RGB, representing future states through complementary views of appearance, motion, geometry, and semantics. During training, DreamWAM combines joint latent denoising of RGB and motion with lightweight gated residual branches for geometry and semantics. Shared attention between VideoDiT and ActionDiT allows the action branch to learn from these future-state predictions, while all beyond-RGB supervision branches are disabled at inference and deployment remains RGB-only. Across both no-rollout and joint video-action inference, DreamWAM consistently improves the matched RGB-only baselines on LIBERO, from 97.30\% to 98.40\% and from 98.00\% to 98.90\%, respectively. The gains become larger under unseen LIBERO-Plus perturbations, from 51.36\% to 63.44\% and from 69.16\% to 75.47\%. The same robustness extends to real-world manipulation, where DreamWAM attains an average success rate of 74.4\% across unseen changes in lighting, background, and object layout, compared with 55.6\% for Fast-WAM-Joint. These results show that robust world-action learning depends not only on predicting the future, but on representing it in a form that matters for action. The code and models are publicly released at https://github.com/hustvl/DreamWAM.

IGGT4D: Streaming 4D Instance-Grounded Geometry Transformer

Real-world spatial intelligence requires agents to understand scenes from continuous video streams, where objects move, persist, disappear, and reappear over time. While recent spatial foundation models have enabled generalizable feed-forward 3D reconstruction, most streaming methods remain geometry-centric and lack temporally consistent object-level understanding. Meanwhile, existing semantic reconstruction and 3D-aware vision-language methods largely rely on externally extracted 2D semantic cues or loosely coupled geometry inputs, limiting unified geometry-instance learning in long dynamic scenes. In this paper, we propose IGGT4D, a streaming instance-grounded geometry Transformer for online 4D scene understanding. IGGT4D processes video frames sequentially, reuses historical context through causal spatial-temporal modeling, and incrementally updates a unified representation of camera motion, geometry, and object identity. This enables long-sequence feed-forward reconstruction with geometry-instance consistency in dynamic environments. To address the lack of high-quality 4D supervision, we further construct InsScene4D-147K, a large-scale dataset spanning real/synthetic and static/dynamic scenes, with RGB images, depth, poses, and temporally consistent instance masks generated by an automated geometry-guided annotation pipeline. Experiments on 3D reconstruction, pose estimation, instance spatial tracking, and open-vocabulary segmentation demonstrate that IGGT4D outperforms existing streaming baselines while maintaining scalable online inference for long dynamic sequences.

Faster-WAM: Efficient Inference-Time Future Conditioning for Robust World Action Models

World Action Models (WAMs) improve robot manipulation by learning how the environment evolves beyond the current observation. However, existing approaches face a fundamental dilemma: Joint-WAMs preserve future-aware representations during inference but incur prohibitive computation costs, while efficient alternatives remove future modeling at inference time and may lose the robustness benefits of temporal reasoning. In this work, we revisit the role of future representations in WAMs and show that inference-time future conditioning is critical for generalization under distribution shifts. This observation motivates Faster-WAM, an efficient future-conditioning WAM that preserves future representations while avoiding expensive video-action interaction. Faster-WAM introduces a sparse future-conditioning framework that computes future representations once and selectively reuses them throughout action denoising. Specifically, we propose SparseMoT to replace ubiquitous layer-wise fusion with selective video-action interaction at a compact subset of network stages, and Interval KV-Fusion to aggregate multi-depth future representations without increasing attention complexity. Experiments demonstrate that Faster-WAM achieves a substantially better performance-efficiency trade-off than existing WAMs. On the out-of-distribution LIBERO-Plus benchmark, Faster-WAM improves success rate from 49.14% to 73.57% compared with Fast-WAM, while running 2.21$\times$ faster than Joint-WAM. It further achieves state-of-the-art performance on LIBERO and RoboTwin 2.0, while demonstrating strong robustness in real-world manipulation.

EmbodiedGen V2: An Agentic, Simulation-Ready 3D World Engine for Embodied AI

We present EmbodiedGen V2, a generative 3D world engine for building executable policy-ready environments for embodied intelligence. Sim-ready 3D asset generation has advanced rapidly, yet assembling such assets into policy-ready task environments remains largely manual, limiting scalable closed-loop learning. EmbodiedGen V2 addresses this gap through a unified sim-ready representation that connects cross-simulator assets, interaction affordances, task-driven worlds, large-scale multi-room scenes, and stateful Vibe Coding into a generative, editable, and reusable simulation pipeline. The generated environments support manipulation, navigation, mobile manipulation, cross-simulator deployment, and embodied policy training. In evaluation, the asset pipeline achieves 96.5% human acceptance and 98.6% collision success, and 83.3% of task-driven worlds are directly usable for downstream simulation without manual modification. Online reinforcement learning with generated environments further improves simulation success from 9.7% to 79.8%, and transfers to real robots with task success increasing from 21.7% to 75.0%. These results establish EmbodiedGen V2 as scalable simulation infrastructure for training, evaluating, and deploying embodied policies.
