How to test a world model beyond convincing video
Duration: 3:09
Follow an illustrative robot-and-box test to understand WorldFoundry’s proposal: define world modeling through persistent state and feedback, then use shared infrastructure to examine the evidence. The payoff is a practical filter for evaluating behavior rather than visual polish.
