This is a presentation on world models with a core thesis: **frontier world models are an underestimated yet potentially missing form of intelligence**. The post mentions that when @jeffrey_hawke and @olivercameron started in this direction, almost no one understood world models. However, **18 months later**, they have become one of the **top topics at NeurIPS**. The event also showcased a **fully generated multiplayer version of GoldenEye**, streamed in real-time via **H100**, as a demonstration of world model capabilities.
