World Model Startups
This landscape covers "world models" a.k.a startups building learned representations of real or virtual systems that can predict how they evolve, ideally in response to actions. It excludes products that simulate or generate environments without learning their underlying dynamics.

Categories
- General & Spatial Worlds
Models designed to understand and generate interactive environments that are not limited to one industry or physical system.
- Robotics & Embodied Intelligence
Models that help robots anticipate how their surroundings will change as they act within them.
- Earth, Energy & Industrial Systems
Models that learn how large physical systems evolve and use that understanding to support better operational decisions.
- Biology
Models that represent living systems and predict how they respond when their internal state or external conditions change.
- Society & Human Behavior
Models that learn how individual interactions can produce changes in collective human behavior over time.
- World Model Infrastructure
Infrastructure built specifically to deploy and run world models in production. These companies support world model builders rather than primarily developing the underlying models themselves.
