Moonshot says world models are outside its AGI mainline and not worth priority

The post says Moonshot is skeptical of world models and treats them as outside its current AGI roadmap.
The attached screenshot quotes a broader company stance:
- they are willing to help even competitors such as Alibaba, Zhipu, and Moonshot-style rivals because open source is seen as inherently collaborative
- their focus is the AGI “main line” only: GPT, CoT, agents, and related intelligence work
- they explicitly exclude areas like 3D, video generation, and world models, arguing these are not central to the intelligence ceiling they care about
- if others pursue those areas, they are happy to support them, but they don’t plan to spend their own time or headcount there
The main takeaway is a sharp prioritization of core AGI research over adjacent multimodal/world-model directions.
