This paper introduces InternW0-$\Delta$, a World Action Model that unifies visual dynamics, geometric priors, and action generation for generalist robot manipulation using a Mixture-of-Transformers framework. By leveraging over 20K hours of heterogeneous open-source data and techniques like Causal Imprint, the model achieves superior performance in both simulation and real-world robotics benchmarks without requiring future-video rollouts at inference. The release of training code, model weights, and processing pipelines marks a significant step toward scalable, foundation-model-driven robotic control systems.
InternW0-$\Delta$: A World Action Model Bridging Predictive Dynamics and Actions with 20K+ Hours of Open Data
arXiv:2609.31394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World Action Models (WAMs) jointly model visual dynamics and action generation for generalist robot manipulation. A central challenge is to integrate priors from large-scale pretrained models---including visual dynamics, scene semantics, geometry, and motion---into a unified framework for robot action generation. We introduce InternW0-$\Delta$, a unified WAM pretrained on a heterogeneous corpus that outperforms prior methods across simulation benchmarks and real-robot platforms. InternW0-$\Delta$ combines pretrained visual dynamics, scene-level semantics, 4D geometric and motion priors, and action generation within a Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) framework. A pretrained video expert and an action expert interact under semantic guidance from a frozen VLM, while a pretrained 4D foundation model injects geometric and motion priors through training-only distillation. We further introduce Causal Imprint, which learns future-relevant scene changes from training-only future supervision and provides predictive representations directly to the action expert without future-video rollout at inference. For large-scale joint training, we construct a heterogeneous corpus of robot demonstrations, UMI data, egocentric human demonstrations, and Ego2Robot data, curated and aligned under a common state-action representation. The resulting corpus contains over 20K hours of processed training data, to our knowledge the largest open-source corpus of its kind. We pretrain InternW0-$\Delta$ on this corpus and demonstrate strong performance across simulation benchmarks and real-robot platforms. We will open source the training code, model weights, infrastructure, data-processing pipeline, and processed data where licenses permit.
