Imagined Rollouts are Kinematic, Not Dynamic: A Diagnosis of Long-Horizon World-Model Failure huggingface.co

A new diagnostic called iKCE shows DreamerV3 and peers hallucinate motion that respects geometry but ignores forces, so rewards collapse at friction boundaries while kinematic-consistency error stays flat. The paper reframes compounding rollout error as a physics-omission problem tied to embodiment gait period.

Single-Rollout Asynchronous Optimization for Agentic Reinforcement Learning huggingface.co

Group-wise samplers like GRPO stall on long agentic rollouts because slow trajectories block updates. The new method runs one asynchronous rollout per prompt with token-level clipping to control off-policy drift, beating baselines on SWE-Bench Verified, BeyondAIME, and IMOAnswerBench.

WildCity: A Real-World City-Scale Testbed for Rendering, Simulation, and Spatial Intelligence huggingface.co
