OK here is the arxiv
https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.15934 called "Curious Replay for Model-based Adaptation" and from the abstract it says "we present Curious Replay -- a form of prioritized experience replay tailored to model-based agents through use of a curiosity-based priority signal" and "DreamerV3 with Curious Replay surpasses state-of-the-art performance on Crafter" here is the crafter benchmark
https://github.com/danijar/crafter but it appears to have out of date baselines at the bottom of that page.
That arxiv stuff looks perfectly normal but I kind of hate how it got more and more caricatured as it went through the university press office and hacker news clickbait pipeline.
