Unlike LLMs which made it into the public view, I have a hard time seeing these world simulation models doing the same I'm not sure how to imagine their use in education or gaming, but it's clear that they have a real potential for being used in military programs It's nightmarish to think these could be trained on shooting game footage and thrown into real life scenarios in some form or another

World models are there for planning capabilities and data efficiency in training, they are an old and general idea (model based RL). You just see them in video games etc because these are easier cases.

So much of tech progress links back to gaming, it’s astounding

gaming is all about simulation after all

Hmm. Neat ( especially prowl -- as an idea ). But.. I don't see anything beyond the game. I might be a little cautious, but there is no way for me test any of it ( and I was actually setting up an old mmo this weekend to see how well agent can survive within a rigid ecosystem ). Is it just intended for pure researchers or something?

Yeah, it's obvious that this will be used to pilot drones.

This is cute and retro! But I think training only on GoldenEye undersells the concept a bit, since their world model inherits the N64-era graphics from GoldenEye, which automatically makes it look dated.

If they retrained the same model on real video data, they could potentially get a multiplayer world with quite realistic-looking graphics (see https://wayve.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Ex-2-GAIA-3.mp4, https://wayve.ai/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Ex-3-GAIA-3.mp4).

Maybe for Agora-2 :)

Oh, not at all! It will be used to train drone pilot AIs.
