AI World Model PAN Explained: Future of Realistic Simulation

PAN: When Video Generation Models Learn to “Understand” the World—A Deep Dive into MBZUAI’s Long-Horizon Interactive World Model You’ve probably seen those breathtaking AI video generation tools: feed them “a drone flying over a city at sunset,” and you get a cinematic clip. But ask them to “keep flying—turn left at the river, then glide past the stadium lights,” and they’ll likely freeze. Why?
