A world model is an internal mental simulation constructed by an AI system that represents the physics, spatial relationships, geometry, and dynamics of the real world.
For all the book smarts of LLMs, they currently have little sense for how the real world works and there's a growing list of "world model" AI startups trying to fill the gap.
AI agents need world models that allow them to predict the consequences of their actions before they take them. This is key to enabling agents that can plan, remember, and reason about complex observations.
