World models for physical AI.
We build efficient world models: systems that learn how the physical world looks, moves and responds to action, and run fast enough to plan and act inside it.
Built toward
01 · Vision
Physical AI needs a world it can rehearse in.
Robots, vehicles and simulators act in a world where trying everything is slow, costly or unsafe. A world model lets an agent imagine what happens next before it commits. That only works if the imagination is consistent over long horizons, trained toward what matters, and fast enough to sit inside the control loop.

01
Velox →
Consistent
Stay coherent as the horizon grows: remember what has been seen, and recognise it when the camera or the agent comes back.
-
02
RPO →
Aligned
Be trained toward the signals that matter, with reinforcement learning cheap enough that we can actually iterate on it.

Both
Real-time
Meet a latency budget. Memory, attention and training all have to be efficient before a world model can be used inside a loop.
02 · Research
Making world models cheap enough to run live.
Real-time interaction is both a systems problem and a learning problem. Our first two projects work on each end: how a world model remembers at inference time, and how a visual generator is aligned at training time.

Spatial memory makes long‑context world models efficient
A training-free attention router. Camera frustum slabs from streaming geometry tell each new region of the video which parts of the past actually matter, so later chunks stop paying for the entire history.
RPO · Aligned
Routing Policy Optimization for online diffusion RL
Attention routing becomes a discrete policy. Two matched rollouts differ only in their sampled routes, so one reward difference is enough to learn, and inference goes back to dense attention with the original sampler.
03 · Direction
From efficient parts to agents that can think ahead.
Step 01
Remember cheaply
Long-horizon spatial memory without an attention bill that grows with every chunk.
VeloxStep 02
Align cheaply
Reinforcement learning for visual generators at a fraction of the rollout cost.
RPOThe goal
Close the loop
World models that robots and agents can plan inside, at interactive latency.
