PAVE: Predictive Alignment and Value-Guided Evolution for World-Action Policies

Direct vision-language-action policies generate continuous robot actions efficiently, but standard behavior cloning leaves two complementary gaps: their representations are not explicitly required to describe how the scene evolves over multiple time scales, and deployment trajectories of unequal quality are often reused without separating useful dynamics from undesirable behavior. We introduce \method, a direct world-action policy that combines outcome-agnostic predictive learning with outcome-aware policy improvement. \method first retains a local fixed-offset JEPA objective and adds trajectory-relative multi-horizon transition alignment at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the remaining episod...
