LePlanner: An Iterative Amortized Controller For World Models

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 12, 2026 · UTC

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 distribution is multimodal. We propose LePlanner,
