Good. The world model is absolutely the right play in my opinion.

AI Agents like LLMs make great use of pre-computed information. Providing a comprehensive but efficient world model (one where more detail is available wherever one is paying more attention given a specific task) will definitely eke out new autonomous agents.

Swarms of these, acting in concert or with some hive mind, could be how we get to AGI.

I wish I could help, world models are something I am very passionate about.

Can you explain this “world model” concept to me? How do you actually interface with a model like this?

The way I think of it (might be wrong) but basically a model that has similar sensors to humans (eyes, ears) and has action-oriented outputs with some objective function (a goal to optimize against). I think autopilot is the closest to world models in that they have eyes, they have ability to interact with the world (go different directions) and see the response.
