Are world models necessary to achieve human-level agents, or is there a model-free short-cut?
Our new #ICML2025 paper tackles this question from first principles, and finds a surprising answer, agents _are_ world modelsβ¦ π§΅

Learning Dynamics of RNNs in Closed-Loop Environments
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) trained on neuroscience-inspired tasks offer powerful models of brain computation. However, typical training paradigms rely on open-loop, supervised settings, whereas ...
All our motor control modelling efforts focus on closed-loop systems for this reason:
"...closed-loop and open-loop training produce fundamentally different learning dynamics, even when using identical architectures and converging to the same final solution."
