DriftWorld: Fast World Modeling through Drifting
Susie Lu, Haonan Chen, Weirui Ye, Yilun Du
Predictive world models enable robots to plan by imagining the outcomes of their actions, but their value for control hinges on generating many rollouts quickly. This creates a bottleneck for diffusion-based world models: multistep sampling makes each rollout expensive, limiting…
