We present \textbf{DreamX-Phi 1.0}, an action-conditioned video world model for robotic manipulation that, given an observed frame, a language instruction, and a prescribed action sequence comprising end-effector poses and gripper states, predicts the resulting future observations. Yet realism alone does not guarantee faithfulness: a convincing rollout can still move the wrong arm or lose the manipulated object. To ensure the prediction respects each arm's commanded path, we inject per-arm SE(3) transformations into attention via \textbf{PRoPE-style geometric encoding}, preserving arm identity and rigid-motion structure. Action control alone does not fully constrain scene geometry or the evolution of small manipulated objects. We therefore add a lightweight \textbf{depth branch} for scene-level geometry and use \textbf{SAM3 masks} with a frozen \textbf{V-JEPA teacher} to maintain object consistency throughout grasping. We further distill the multi-step generator into a few-step student via distribution-matching distillation for efficient deployment. At the time of writing, \model{} achieves first place on Track1 and second place on Track2 of the WorldArena~2.0 Challenge. Our model and code will be publicly available.
Video world models can generate realistic futures from a single instruction, but they often fail to track the same physical points consistently across time. As a result, the generated videos appear plausible, yet lack the physical grounding required for reliable action execution, such as robot manipulation. We present GEM-4D, a geometry-grounded video world model that resolves this limitation by injecting dense 4D correspondence supervision distilled from a pretrained geometry foundation model into the video generative backbone during training. This supervision enables the model to jointly capture appearance and geometric structure while retaining a single-stream architecture with no additional inference cost. We further introduce an inverse dynamics module that converts correspondence-consistent video rollouts into executable robot trajectories, enabling direct deployment in both real-world and simulated manipulation. GEM-4D achieves state-of-the-art performance on both video prediction and geometric consistency across both simulation and realistic scenarios and improves real-world manipulation success from 61% to 81%.

Vision-language-action (VLA) policies have advanced language-conditioned robotic manipulation by transferring semantic priors from pretrained vision-language models to action generation. However, standard action-imitation learning often lacks sufficient modeling of explicit 3D spatial information, dense geometric supervision, and future environment evolution, all critical for precise robotic interaction. To address this, we propose \textbf{GaussianDream}, a feed-forward 3D Gaussian world-model plug-in. Specifically, we introduce learnable GaussianDream Queries in the encoder, enabling the model to capture current-frame 3D spatial structure and short-horizon future evolution. During training, the latent GaussianDream prefix is processed by a static reconstruction head and a future prediction head to produce current 3D Gaussian scene states and future Gaussian evolution states. The current branch is supervised by RGB rendering and depth, while the future branch uses future RGB, depth, and pseudo 3D scene-flow signals. During inference, GaussianDream discards all auxiliary heads and retains only the learned prefix to condition action generation, without test-time Gaussian reconstruction or future prediction. Experimental results demonstrate that GaussianDream achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple robotic manipulation benchmarks, reaching \textbf{98.4%} on LIBERO, \textbf{54.8%} on RoboCasa Human-50, and \textbf{50.0%} on real-robot tasks. Compared with existing 3D-enhanced VLA methods, GaussianDream achieves strong accuracy while providing higher inference efficiency than video-based world-model approaches.
World-Action Models (WAMs) build robot control on video-generation backbones, which jointly predict dense future visual trajectories and robot actions. We argue that video generation is an unnecessary intermediate objective for world-action modeling. For robotic manipulation, the goal of a world model is not to reproduce how the world looks at every intermediate moment, but to predict the state that the world will reach after an action is executed. The intermediate frames only describe the visual transition between physical states, which consumes substantial model capacity and computation, but do not directly specify the physical outcome that the robot action is intended to produce. In this paper, we propose DELE-w0.5, which infers robot actions from predicted future states without relying on video generation. Concretely, DELE-w0.5 infers the action sequence from its corresponding compact future latent state. The future latent state captures the action-relevant physical outcome of robot interaction and serves as an explicit bridge between world modeling and action generation. The core design principle of DELE-w0.5 is to model how the physical world changes under robot actions, rather than how its visual appearance evolves frame by frame. This formulation removes the high-dimensional visual redundancy introduced by dense video representations, and it therefore enables cheaper training and low-latency inference. Across 640 real-robot trials on four long-horizon manipulation tasks, our DELE-w0.5 achieves the best performance among all compared policies, attaining 62.5% overall full-task success and 81.3% macro ordered-stage progress. It outperforms the strongest baseline by 32.5 percentage points in full-task success and 20.1 percentage points in macro progress.
