What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
World-action models can jointly predict future visual observations and robot actions. However, discrepancies may exist between their visual predictions and the consequences implied by generated actions. We observe that WAMs can often generate visually plausible task-completion outcomes before producing action sequences that reliably achieve them. Consequently, we treat the WAM-generated visual prediction as a goal-conditioned visual proposal rather than a directly executable plan. We use a frozen action-conditioned world model to predict action-conditioned consequences and construct feedback based on consistency between the two future predictions and alignment with the terminal goal. Leveraging this feedback, we employ Flow Policy Optimization (FPO) to optimize the action head of the WAM. This framework avoids online robot interaction and additional training of task-specific reward models. Across four real-world UR5 manipulation tasks, our method increases the mean success rate from 43.4% to 75.1%, compared with 61.4% for $π_{0.5}$. These results show that cross-model prediction discrepancy can provide useful feedback for improving robot policies under the evaluated manipulation tasks.
