World Labs CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li explains says "world model" has become an overloaded term & explains what each kind of world model does:
"Right now there are three ways of calling world models when it comes to spatial intelligence."
"One is what I call a renderer, when the model puts beautiful pixels on the screen."
"Another kind of world model is what we call a planner. That is more for machines, more for robots."
"The third kind, which I think is the linchpin of the three, is a simulator."
"A simulator could become a renderer. The simulator could become a planner. But this layer is a huge critical path to unlock spatial intelligence. And that's what World Labs is working on."
