arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2607.23909v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many recent robot policies pursue stronger control by using large pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) as the action backbone. We introduce WorldDiT, a unified diffusion
transformerarchitecture that couples action generation with visual world modeling and achieves strong performance without a large pretrained VLM action backbone. Duringtraining, a single diffusion transformer generates continuous action chunks and predicts normalized RGB patch targets from future camera frames. Across four LIBERO simulation suites, WorldDiT lies on the reported Pareto frontier for total model parameters and mean success among methods reporting all four suites. These results provide a strong sub-billion-parameterbaseline for future scaling studies.Get AI news in your inbox
