Faster-WAM
- AI model
- Humanoids and robot learning
Faster-WAM is an open-source world action model for robot manipulation that reuses future representations during inference to speed up action prediction while staying robust under distribution shifts.

What it does
- Computes future representations once and selectively reuses them during action denoising, reducing redundant video-action interaction.
- Reports state-of-the-art in-distribution performance and robust out-of-distribution generalization on simulated and real-world manipulation.
- Substantially reduces inference latency compared with the FastWAM and JointWAM baselines kept in the repository.
- Builds on the Wan2.2-TI2V-5B video model, with scripts for ActionDiT initialization, text embedding caching, and training.
- Provides released checkpoints for LIBERO and RoboTwin, plus evaluation scripts for LIBERO, LIBERO-Plus, and RoboTwin.
- Includes a script to measure inference latency across the FasterWAM, FastWAM, and JointWAM models.
