WorldGuide: Better Video Planning, Not Proven Robot Control
Can a goal-directed video world model genuinely help a robot plan, or does it mainly produce better procedural videos? This episode clarifies what WorldGuide demonstrates, how its planner–executor architecture works, and which additional experiments would be needed for physical deployment. We examine three central questions: why visual feedback produces stronger evidence than the narrow headline baseline win; why a valid text plan is not equivalent to successful execution; and what released code and checkpoints do—and do not—make reproducible. WorldGuide combines a Qwen-based planner with a…
