Causal-JEPA reproduction

Independent reproduction

World models are the question I keep poking: what has to be masked before a model can plan. I am tracing Causal-JEPA, “Learning World Models through Object-Level Latent Masking” (arXiv:2602.11389), through a public Hugging Face Space, blog assets, and a PushT planning checkpoint. The paper’s authors are Heejeong Nam, Quentin Le Lidec, Lucas Maes, Yann LeCun, and Randall Balestriero.

Five ink squares on warm paper, two of them covered by a darker block.
Fig. 1An ink mask covers two squares, then a lighter outline draws into the gap. Generated illustration of the method, not a capture.
