World model baseline generates 49-frame 3D store walkthrough, a step toward spatial intelligence
richdotca · x · 2026-10-11
MaxSebti shares a milestone: from just one AI-generated store image and a camera path, their world model baseline produced 49 frames at 512×512 plus an estimate of visible 3D surfaces — a first step from computer vision toward spatial intelligence. The author is candid about artifacts and that reliable physical simulation remains ahead. The reposter notes WMs learn how the physical world behaves, WAMs extend that into actions, and NVIDIA sees WMs as core infrastructure for robotics, a market multi-X larger than LLMs.
