World-action models (WAM) predict future states to guide robot actions, enabling learning from both action-free video and action-labeled interaction. Most inherit pretrained video generators, leaving WAM pretraining and scaling underexplored. We introduce Genie Envisioner Act 2.0 (GE-Act 2.0), a world-action model whose trainable generative and action components are all initialized from scratch on manipulation data. It combines a control-oriented autoencoder (CoAE), a single-step visual planner (SVP), and an inverse dynamics model (IDM). CoAE retains action- and instruction-relevant information under aggressive compression, while SVP produces a complete future state in one differentiable pass, so visual planning and inverse dynamics can be pretrained separately on complementary data. The components are then jointly trained with knowledge-aligned selective optimization (KASO), which reduces mismatched supervision by selecting only predicted futures judged behaviorally compatible with the recorded action. We evaluate pretrained checkpoints directly, without per-task fine-tuning, on 100 tasks across 20 manipulation skill groups with held-out scenes, backgrounds, lighting, and object instances. Scaling co-training data from 300 to 30,000 hours raises success from 17.1% to 44.1% on G1-OP and from 13.4% to 31.1% on G2-90D; despite comprising less than 2% of the co-training data, G2-90D improves by 17.7 points, suggesting cross-embodiment transfer. Gains span 19/20 and 18/20 skill groups, and skill-specific coverage strongly correlates with zero-shot out-of-distribution (OOD) success (Pearson r=0.80; Spearman rho=0.85). Under the same protocol, the model grounds object, color, shape, and position references in at least 90% of trials and follows explicit instructions even when they conflict with an already-committed behavior or a conventional scene association.

Existing robot datasets remain expensive to curate, embodiment-specific, and insufficiently annotated with the fine-grained structure required for generalizable reasoning, execution, or long-horizon environment dynamics simulation. Building on our prior work, RoboInter1.0, we present RoboInter1.5, an extended and holistic suite of intermediate representations for both robotic manipulation and embodied world modeling. RoboInter1.5 provides a unified resource of data, benchmarks, and models centered on dense manipulation-oriented intermediate representations. Specifically, RoboInter-Data contains over 230k manipulation episodes across 571 scenes with dense per-frame annotations covering more than ten types of intermediate representations, including subtasks, primitive skills, object and gripper grounding, segmentation, affordance, grasp poses, contact points, motion traces, etc. Built upon these annotations, RoboInter-VQA introduces spatial and temporal embodied VQA tasks to benchmark and improve the intermediate-representation reasoning capabilities of our RoboInter-VLM. RoboInter-VLA further studies how such representations benefit action execution through implicit, explicit, and modular plan-then-execute paradigms. To better model the physical world, we further introduce RoboInter-World, which leverages intermediate representations as structured conditioning signals for controllable prediction of future world states. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that RoboInter1.5 provides a unified spatiotemporal scaffolding for intermediate representations. Rather than treating intermediate representations merely as interpretable signals, RoboInter1.5 conceptualizes them as a bidirectional interface that both regularizes low-level action spaces and constrains the latent rollouts of open-world physical simulators.

InternVLA-A1.5 is presented, which builds the policy on a native VLM backbone that keeps training on VQA and subtask prediction, and attaches a lightweight unified expert for continuous action generation, and achieves the best overall results on all six simulation benchmarks.
