Claims
By aligning features from a diffusion transformer with latent embeddings of future observations, FLARE enables a diffusion transformer policy to anticipate latent representations of future observations, allowing it to reason about long-term consequences while generating actions. Across two challenging multitask simulation imitation learning benchmarks spanning single-arm and humanoid tabletop manipulation, FLARE achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming prior policy learning baselines by up to 26%.
That adding a few tokens for future-latent alignment to existing VLA diffusion models is sufficient to produce reliable long-horizon reasoning without additional supervision or architectural changes that would alter the core diffusion process.
FLARE integrates predictive latent world modeling into diffusion transformer policies for robots, delivering up to 26% gains on multitask manipulation benchmarks and enabling co-training with action-free human videos.
