Hey everyone,
I’ve been tracking the recent shift in AI focus from purely text-based models (LLMs) to "World Models" and Spatial Intelligence. It feels like we are hitting a plateau with LLM reasoning, and the major labs are clearly pivoting to physics-aware AI that understands 3D space.
I saw a lot of signals from the last 10 days, thought this sub would find it interesting:
Fei-Fei Li & World Labs: Just released "Marble" and published the "From Words to Worlds" manifesto.
Yann LeCun: Reports say he is shifting focus to launch a dedicated World Models startup, moving away from pure LLM scaling and his Chief AI Scientist role at Meta
Jeff Bezos: Reportedly stepped in as co-CEO of "Project Prometheus" for physical AI.
Tencent: Confirmed on Nov 15 that they are expanding into physics-aware world models.
.5 AR Hardware: Google & Samsung finally shipped the Galaxy XR late last month, giving these models a native physical home.
I’ve spent the last 6 months deep-diving into this vertical (Spatial Intelligence + Generative World Models). I'm currently building a project at this intersection—specifically looking at how we can move beyond "predicting the next token" to "predicting the next frame/physics interaction."
If you're working on something similar, or are interested what are your opinions and what do you guys think?
