Hierarchical world models, learned end-to-end from pixels!

Excited to introduce H-JEPA: stacked JEPAs, each level in its own embedding space, planning top-down.

Visual AntMaze: 3 levels lift success from 18% to 73% 👇

Huge work of the past years from @artemZholus, congrats 🫡
I will definitely try this unified multi-embodiment large scale robotic training setup !

Introducing RoboJEPA, the first scaling law for multiembodiment world models.

We scaled JEPA predictors up to 8B params, showed scaling laws extrapolate and correlated compute scaling with planning performance.

We release all checkpoints and the code.

Absolutely huge work by the one and only @PierreChambon6 !
125 pages of reading for my holidays 🥰

🧵How to combine code correctness and efficiency objectives in online RL?

-> we break the correctness-efficiency Pareto frontier!

+125% relative improvement in CWM32B compared to standard RLVR (13.7 ->30.9 pass@1@top30%)

+150% with Qwen32B

📢 New paper: "PEIRA: Learning Predictive Encoders through Inter-View Regressor Alignment"

A few extra technical details on PEIRA 👇

Michael Arbel @MichaelArbel May 26

What do JEPA-style self-distillation dynamics actually learn — and why do they sometimes avoid collapse?

In our new work with @BasileTerv987 and Jean Ponce, we tackle this question.

What surprised us: These dynamics provably recover representations with nonlinear-CCA structure.

📢 Accepted to TMLR, with reproducibility certification 🏅

v2 of our JEPA-WM study (arXiv:2512.24497) is out, with new data-scaling experiments, a Lipschitz analysis of multistep rollout training, and extended discussions.

Recap + what's new 👇

My first PhD paper is out! 🎓

"What Drives Success in Physical Planning with Joint-Embedding Predictive World Models?"

tl:dr: JEPA-WMs for robotics: learn dynamics on top of visual encoders, optimize actions towards goal 👇
