Playable Neural World Models

Labs increasingly ship generative 'world models' that simulate interactive environments in real time from learned dynamics rather than hand-coded engines, moving neural simulation from video generation toward playable, controllable environments usable for games, training data, and embodied-agent simulation; expect recurring releases pushing fidelity, frame rate, and openness.
