We present Multimodal Flow, a fully continuous generative model of language and vision. Most unified multimodal models either model both language and quantized images as discrete tokens or combine discrete language prediction with continuous image generation. The former introduces a visual quantization bottleneck. The …

World-action models jointly learn robot policies and predict future observations, making the representation space an interface between control and prediction. We study the design of this space through controlled comparisons, finding that neither reconstruction fidelity nor pre-trained perceptual features alone ensure e …

Driving policies require capabilities of scene understanding and future evolution prediction. To achieve this goal, current end-to-end models typically construct complex perception-planning pipelines or introduce world models that explicitly predict future states, resulting in a complex system architecture. Inspired by …

Existing latent world models are typically optimized for future predictability, yet the resulting representations are not necessarily useful for planning in autonomous driving. Predictions are commonly used for pretraining or auxiliary supervision rather than as direct conditioning signals for trajectory generation. We …

Vector Quantization (VQ) is fundamental to discrete visual tokenizers that power modern autoregressive and masked image generation models. While recent shared-projection codebook methods have substantially advanced codebook utilization, training stability remains a critical and underexplored challenge. We argue that th …

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated remarkable generalization in robotic manipulation via large-scale multimodal pretraining. However, VLA models are mainly trained on 2D-centric observations, which inherently constrains their capacity for precise spatial manipulation. Previous methods enhance 3D awar …
