Universal World Simulator
Soon, everyone will have access to their own world simulator. This will be the most important technological development of our time. Video models trained at sufficient scale become world models. To predict the next frame, a video model must learn how the world works. How objects move, how forces propagate, how actions cause effects. General world models are learned approximators of physics. The hardest problems facing humanity are rooted in physical reality. Robotics, medicine, climate, materials, energy. Language models will not get us there. Text distills existing human knowledge. In order to move beyond that, we need to learn directly from raw observations of the world. Universal simulation is fundamentally about access. Experiences limited by geography and cost will become available to anyone. Running experiments today requires equipment, funding, and institutional access. With world simulators, the tools of discovery stop being scarce. Small teams will be able to develop autonomou
