Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ answers rendered directly into static HTML for extractable responses.

What are video world models?

Video world models learn future scene dynamics from video and are especially important for simulation, physical AI, and interactive generation.

Are video generation models the same as world models?

Not always. Some video models generate plausible clips, while stronger world models also support action conditioning, controllability, and planning utility.
