Takeaways
- Start with the definition if the term world model is still doing too much work.
- Use company profiles to see the lane, then open one model dossier.
- Use a decision guide before collecting more demos.

A starter path through World Models Watch.
Use this site in order: definition, company map, one dossier, one decision guide, then demos or generators. Skip the parts that do not match the job.

Step 1
Get the boundary, not a reading list.
Open What is a world model, then the world-model-versus-video-model guide if clips and worlds still blur together. Spatial intelligence is the concept page for navigation, memory, and action.
The glossary is optional. It is for terms, not for choosing a tool.
Step 2
Pick a company lane before a model name.
The company map is a compact index. Company profiles are the introductions: what the organization actually ships, what visitors can see, and where the claim should stop.
World Labs and Blockade Labs are the usable-product lanes. DeepMind, Oasis, Tencent, Robbyant, NVIDIA, Runway, and Altera fill research, open-stack, and adjacent lanes.
Step 3
Read one dossier and one guide, then stop collecting tabs.
A model dossier answers what it is, who made it, what the evidence is, and what not to overclaim. A decision guide answers which of two lanes to keep.
Demos and generators come after that. The demo wall is for seeing the category. Image-to-3D model and image-to-3D world are for producing a file or a place.
Later
Use news as a patch, not as the map.
Release signals are short and dated. They should send you back to a company profile or dossier when access, weights, or product scope change.

Decision tables
Use a comparison when two lanes are still competing.
