World Model
An AI system that maintains internal representations of physical reality, predicting how world states evolve through space and time rather than generating text tokens.
World models are AI architectures designed to simulate physical environments by learning spatial, temporal, and causal relationships from visual data. Unlike large language models that predict the next word, world models predict how environments change in response to actions. Key properties include being generative (creating consistent 3D worlds), multimodal (processing visual and sensory inputs), and interactive (responding to agent actions). Examples include DeepMind's Genie 3 and World Labs' Marble.
