Behavior policies are often formulated as continuous generative models, whose iterative denoising processes are expressive but difficult to interpret and prone to producing implausible actions. We propose the Large Discrete Policy (LDiP), a fully discrete behavior modeling framework that selects actions from a large vocabulary of physically plausible candidates. Rather than perturbing actions, LDiP improves expressivity through stochastic iterative scoring: it progressively re-scores and prunes candidates with score-space stochasticity, enabling fine-grained ranking and exploration among plausible actions while preserving an explicit decision process. Across end-to-end planning, closed-loop driving, robotic manipulation, and vision-language-action settings, LDiP consistently outperforms strong discrete and continuous baselines in autonomous driving, and exceeds or matches continuous generative policies in robotic manipulation. These results show that discrete policies, when equipped with effective scoring mechanisms, offer an expressive, plausible, and interpretable alternative for behavior modeling.
