## What is a world model?

A world model is an AI system that learns a predictive representation of how an environment changes over time. It can use observations, actions, or language to estimate future states and possible outcomes before an agent acts. World models support planning in model-based reinforcement learning, robotics, embodied AI, autonomous driving, and interactive simulation. This site catalogs these systems with model records, research papers, benchmark context, and source links. Start with the [world models database](https://world-models.io/en/world-models-database/), compare systems on the [leaderboard](https://world-models.io/en/leaderboard/), or read the [Performance Index methodology](https://world-models.io/en/methodology/performance-index/).

## Editorial Trust Signals

Editorial provenance and refresh policy preserved directly in static HTML.

**Published by** world-models.io editorial board.

**Lead editor** Bernard Grenat.

This lab page distinguishes official organization sources from world-models.io editorial synthesis and related model coverage.

Each editorial page is assembled from primary sources, normalized into extractable summaries, checked for factual drift, and reviewed before publication or major refreshes. Last reviewed: 2026-09-27.

Pages are refreshed when a new paper, benchmark, release, architecture update, or stronger primary source materially changes the answer a reader or AI system should retrieve.

Each page links back to relevant primary sources and keeps a stable canonical URL so readers can verify claims, trace context, and reference the most up-to-date version. [See the editorial policy.](https://world-models.io/en/editorial-policy/)
