Chinese start-up launches physics-based AI world model

Shanghai-based Fysics AI announced the launch of Fysiverse on Wednesday, a new-generation physics-based world model.

The model was developed by the start-up founded by former Nvidia senior manager Zhang Lihua. It embeds the laws of physics directly into its code to address common issues in existing models, such as physical illusions, reasoning failures and breakdowns in non-standard scenarios.

Fysics AI said in a WeChat post that the model represents a new paradigm that could bypass data-driven approaches favoured by US tech giants including OpenAI and Meta.

The world model sector is currently dominated by three major paradigms, including data-driven methods, Meta’s V-JEPA self-supervised learning system and three-dimensional modelling.

The Shanghai Advanced Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed an AI model that calculates China’s 2022 greenhouse gas emissions as 17.7% lower than a widely used United Nations equivalent, while raising the US total by 15.2%. The system factors in both production and consumption, lessening the responsibility of exporters such as China.
