The World Model Arms Race Has Begun

Every major AI lab is building world models. Fei-Fei Li's World Labs is in funding talks at a $5B valuation — 5× in one year. Yann LeCun left Meta to start AMI Labs, raising €500M at €3B pre-launch. DeepMind shipped Genie 3. NVIDIA Cosmos hit 2M+ downloads.

World models don't just generate video — they build internal representations of physics and causality. They simulate how objects interact, how gravity works, how light bounces. This is the leap from statistical prediction to genuine environmental understanding.

The "human" qualifier is critical. The entire field is oriented toward replicating human-like world understanding — the intuitive physics, spatial reasoning, and causal inference that humans develop naturally. HumanWorldModels captures this precisely.
