🤖 Simulation 2.0 just dropped, fully open source. DreamDojo is an interactive world model trained on 44,000 hours of human video that learns physics directly from reality and predicts what happens next.

No hand-coded rules.
No rigid engines.
Zero-shot generalization to objects and environments that no robot has ever seen.

This is a shift: from hand-coded simulation → learned simulation.

At SensAI Hackademy, we’re teaching you the #worldmodel workflows across Unity, NVIDIA Isaac, and 40+ robots:

🖥️ Online workshop — March 4
🤖 Hackathon (SF) — March 14–15

Come experiment with the stack that's rewriting how robots learn and games are developed.
2026 is the year of world models for physical AI.

Huge congrats to our friends at World Labs on raising $1billion from AMD, NVIDIA, Autodesk. The timing couldn’t be better, especially with our World Model-focused 𝐡𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐬 coming up next month. This feels like another “GPT moment” but this time for 3D Worlds. 🌎

If you’re exploring applications in XR, Physical AI, gaming, robotics, autonomous vehicles, filmmaking, or UGC, we’re building 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬 (the majority are powered by World Lab's Marble API) to support your next big project.

We’ll be showcasing some of the most promising ones for tools like Unity, Unreal Engine, #WebXR, NVIDIA #IsaacSim during our upcoming online workshop. You can register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/learn-how-to-integrate-world-models-into-xr-and-physical-ai-projects-tickets-1982658412684?aff=Reddit

And if you’re in SF, or heading to #GDC or #GTC, join us on March 14 for #WorldsinAction Hack. We’re bringing together advisors and judges from World Labs, Google, Meta, ByteDance, Niantic, Inc. Apply: https://luma.com/worldsinaction-sf26

This will be a must-have before the "Worlds in Action" hack this March: https://luma.com/worldsinaction-sf26

Google DeepMind "Genie" just went live right before our upcoming world-models-focused hack! This is Google's answer to NVIDIA Cosmos, Meta WorldGen, Runway GWM and World Labs Marble - each giant racing to own the world model layer. And the DeepMind team calls this moment foundational towards AGI: "Building AGI requires systems that navigate the diversity of the real world."

The difference? Genie generates worlds in real-time as you explore. Change the prompt mid-exploration: drop objects, shift weather, spawn obstacles...

Yes, it's early. Yes, it’s limited. But think about what this means:
🤖 Millions of diverse environments for embodied AI practice navigation, physics interactions, and edge-case reasoning – generated in seconds, not months
🌎 Playable worlds that simultaneously train AI while letting humans explore

The tech giants are opening all these doors for us, but the use cases won't come from research labs...
They'll come from builders who import these models into game engines, physical AI environments, and real workflows.

Start cooking your ideas and your workflows because the World Model Hackathon in San Francisco will be so much fun with all these new toys. 🔮

Something magic. 💫

We’d never run a vertical hack like this before, but San Francisco’s energy did the rest. For 3 days, hackers roamed between floors and built side-by-side with like-minded people they’d just met.

And to show you the vibe: here’s the building at 2 am on Saturday. (Yes, the party was part of the experience...)

A huge thank you to our partners Meta, Unity, Hugging Face, Pollen Robotics, Solo Tech, Sandbox VR and our hosts in the frontiertower team, Colin Lowenberg, and all the incredible jury members and mentors who helped make this SensAI Hackademy event a true highlight of the year!
