The Knowledge Hub for AI World Models

[Paper Published] UC Berkeley publishes Large World Model (LWM): million-length video and language understanding

This paper introduces GhostWriter, an AI-enhanced design probe aiming to improve personalization and agency in human-AI collaborative writing. GhostWriter implicitly learns user writing style using LLMs and offers explicit teaching moments for refinement.
