I feel like we're at the very early stages of building world models and building usable world models.

But the way I see it is that language is a way to abstract the complexity of the real world.

So y everything that you can see and feel and touch and smell today like gets translated into language and then essentially gets codified or abstracted into a model.

And a lot is lost in that.

Translation, right?

Because you are essentially simplifying all that you're seeing, all your senses are perceiving.

But world models, I think, hopefully will be able to open up something that's currently not possible with this level of abstraction.

And th the most interesting aspect of this that I'm looking forward to is emergent abilities.

I'm sure you've seen with LLMs, no one expected LLMs to be good at reasoning or good at coding or other things.

But

Uh, as it turns out, the bigger models that you build, there are these emergent properties around reasoning and so on that that just emerge without actually training for it specifically.

So I'm really curious to see what happens with world models as you build bigger and bigger world models.

Does it just understand causality?

Does it understand what happens next uh i in the world around you and uh the sort of laws of nature encoded in in some of these things that get emerged as part of part of

Of the emergent property.

So I'm really curious to learn about learn about that.

And lastly, I'd say one of the recent trends has been not just a single new modality, but marrying multiple multimodal things together.

So it could be like a combination of perception, meets sensing, meets action.

So think of let's say a robot that just perceives its environment, it like figures out what needs to be done, it reasons it and goes and takes the action.

as well.
