What Are World Models?
World models are AI systems that learn internal representations of environments, enabling them to predict future states, understand physics, and make decisions based on their understanding of how the world works. They represent a fundamental shift from reactive AI to predictive, understanding-based AI.
Unlike traditional AI models that simply respond to inputs, world models build comprehensive internal representations of their environment. This allows them to simulate possible futures, understand cause and effect, and make more intelligent decisions by considering the consequences of their actions.
Predictive Modeling
World models can predict future states based on current observations and planned actions, enabling proactive decision-making.
Interactive Simulation
Generate diverse, interactive environments that respond realistically to user inputs and actions.
Scientific Discovery
Accelerate research by modeling complex systems and testing hypotheses in virtual environments.
Autonomous Agents
Enable AI agents to plan and act intelligently by understanding their environment deeply.
