World Models ☆

A world model predicts what happens next in an environment — physics, object permanence, cause and effect — rather than just the next word. DeepMind's Genie, NVIDIA's Cosmos and Fei-Fei Li's World Labs all bet that agents and robots must train inside learned simulators; Yann LeCun argues world models, not LLMs, are the road to real intelligence. Watch this concept to watch the post-LLM debate.
