Discriminative World Models for Web Agents

Recent web agents use world models for test-time action selection by sampling candidate actions, predicting the resulting web states, and ranking them with a ranker model or a Process Reward Model (PRM). These world models are typically trained via supervised next-state prediction to generate fixed representations like HTML or AXTree snapshots. However, this objective is misaligned with the downstream ranker, which relies on predicted states being discriminative across candidates to accurately s
