WORLD MODELS / 2026

From language to physical intelligence

A living research atlas tracing how world models connect perception, prediction, planning, and action through primary sources.

Layers of prediction, planning, and action

Selected

This sequence is a reading path, not a mandatory architecture; systems may skip layers or create feedback loops.

  1. 01

    Models statistical structure in language and produces or interprets text.

  2. 02

    Connects visual observations with language representations and instructions.

  3. 03

    Represents how an environment may change, including the consequences of actions.

  4. 04

    Searches possible actions or trajectories against a goal and predicted outcomes.

  5. 05

    Observes, chooses, acts, and updates its behavior across a feedback loop.

  6. 06

    Applies learned perception, prediction, and control in embodied systems.

  7. 07

    Maintains an operational digital representation linked to a physical system.

  • VLM informs World Model.
  • World Model predicts for Planner.
  • Planner plans with Agent.
  • Agent acts through Physical AI.
  • Digital Twin feeds back to World Model.
