  "summary": "World-action models increasingly apply test-time scaling, spending extra inference computation on candidate selection and adaptive allocation to improve control. Such gains are credible only when candidates carry exploitable signal, nominal compute savings become real speedup, and evaluation stays reliable. We audit all three on Cosmos Policy and RoboCasa with a premise-first, pre-registered…",
