MBZUAI releases PAN 2, an open-weights foundation world model for physical intelligence
Scobleizer · x · 2026-11-11
MBZUAI's IFM team has released PAN 2, an open foundation world model for physical intelligence: while a language model predicts the next word, PAN 2 predicts the next world — what happens after each action, grounded in time, physics and space.
- Enables people and AI agents to explore the outcomes of potential actions before taking them, a step toward agents that reason through simulation and learn in simulated environments
- Released fully openly with model weights, training and inference code so the research community can test, retrain and build on it
The release was amplified by Robert Scoble.
