Reinforcement learning has seen significant success in recent years, but its low sample efficiency limits its application in the real world. World models, as a type of environment generation model, offer hope for addressing this issue. They can serve as simulated environments to train reinforcement learning agents with higher sample efficiency. Currently, most world models simulate environment dynamics through discrete latent variable sequences. However, this method of compressing into a compact discrete representation may overlook visual details that are critical for reinforcement learning. Meanwhile, diffusion models have become prominent in the field of image generation.
