- Audio-visual intelligence is evolving through simple prediction objectives that lead to general intelligence.
- Next-frame and next-token prediction tasks help models learn world dynamics directly from data.
- World models like Odyssey-2 predict future states by learning latent structures from video and interaction data.
- Long-horizon predictions require models to maintain internal states and reason about unobserved changes.
- Traditional simulators are limited by hand-crafted rules, while world models dynamically allocate computational resources.
- General world simulators can test cause and effect in complex systems without domain-specific programming.
- Interactive simulations with world models allow continuous, stateful engagement, unlike traditional offline tools.
- Odyssey is developing multimodal world models for long-horizon prediction and interaction.
