World model original paper

Technical blog or video

  • Yann LeCun: A Path Towards Autonomous Machine Intelligence [paper] [Video]

  • Wayve Introducing GAIA-1: A Cutting-Edge Generative AI Model for Autonomy [blog]

    World models are the basis for the ability to predict what might happen next, which is fundamentally important for autonomous driving. They can act as a learned simulator, or a mental “what if” thought experiment for model-based reinforcement learning (RL) or planning. By incorporating world models into our driving models, we can enable them to understand human decisions better and ultimately generalise to more real-world situations.
