12 Powerful World Models
World models are one of the most challenging areas in AI, pushing the boundaries of reasoning, perception, and planning. They're gen AI systems that help models and agents learn internal representations of real-world environments.
Today, we invite you to take a look at 12 standout examples:
1. WorldVLA → WorldVLA: Towards Autoregressive Action World Model (2506.21539)
This autoregressive world model integrates action prediction and visual world modeling in a single framework, allowing each to enhance the other. It introduces an attention masking strategy to reduce action prediction errors
2. SimuRA → https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.23773
A generalized world model that uses a language-based world model to simulate and plan actions before execution, enabling more general and flexible reasoning
3. PAN (Physical, Agentic, and Nested) world models → Critiques of World Models (2507.05169)
Has a hybrid architecture that combines discrete concept-based reasoning (via LLMs) with continuous perceptual simulation (via diffusion models), enabling rich multi-level, multimodal understanding and prediction
4. MineWorld by Microsoft Research → MineWorld: a Real-Time and Open-Source Interactive World Model on Minecraft (2504.08388)
Enables real-time, interactive world modeling in Minecraft by combining visual and action tokenization within an autoregressive Transformer. It uses parallel decoding for fast scene generation (4–7 FPS)
5. WorldMem → WORLDMEM: Long-term Consistent World Simulation with Memory (2504.12369)
Uses a memory bank with attention over time-stamped frames and states to maintain long-term and 3D spatial consistency in scene generation. So it reconstruct past scenes and simulate dynamic world changes across large temporal gaps
