world models
From cognitive science mental simulators to Sora's video generation, world models represent AI's ability to predict and simulate reality—the core technology powering synthetic media.
Meta AI
Meta's V-JEPA 2 challenges the assumption that generating photorealistic video means understanding the world. The architecture reveals why predicting latent representations may outperform pixel-level synthesis.
OpenAI
SoftBank accelerates to finalize a historic $22.5 billion investment in OpenAI before year-end, marking the largest single funding round in AI history.
Sora
OpenAI's AI video generation platform Sora is now available on Android, expanding access to its text-to-video synthesis capabilities beyond iOS and web platforms.
