Robotics AI model race pits world models against VLA
Moves to develop AI models optimized for robots are accelerating, with two camps competing for technological leadership: vision-language-action models derived from large language models, and world models trained mainly on video to predict what will happen in real environments. The Information reported growing Silicon Valley interest in world models, though critics say they still make frequent errors. Some say VLA remains too slow and unreliable for broad production use.

AI is a tool, not a threat: Game companies step up efficiency strategies after Genie 3 shock
Major South Korean game companies have unveiled strategies to respond to Google DeepMind\'s AI game-making model Project Genie 3, which has jolted the global gaming industry. NCSoft, Krafton and Kakao Games said AI is unlikely to replace high-quality game development in the near term. They plan to use AI to improve productivity across development and operations, reduce outsourcing costs and seek opportunities to expand into new businesses over the medium to long term.

Waymo unveils World Model, can it beat Tesla\'s FSD
Waymo unveiled its AI-based autonomous driving simulation technology, the Waymo World Model, using Google DeepMind\'s Genie 3 to build ultra-realistic virtual environments. Waymo said it can generate rare scenarios and create high-precision 3D environments to improve safety, while criticising Tesla\'s camera-centred approach. Tesla is moving faster on FSD, starting an AI training centre in China and shifting FSD to a subscription model. It also confirmed final specifications for the Semi electric truck.
