V-JEPA 2 World Model: Meta’s AI Breakthrough in Physical Understanding & Robotic Control

# V-JEPA 2: Meta’s World Model Breakthrough Enables Human-Like Physical Understanding in AI > Zero-shot manipulation of unseen objects with 65%-80% success rate transforms robotic learning paradigms ## Introduction: How Humans Innately Grasp Physics Imagine tossing a tennis ball into the air—we instinctively know gravity will pull it down. If the ball suddenly hovered, changed trajectory mid-air, or transformed into an apple, anyone would be astonished. This physical intuition doesn’t come from textbooks but from an internal world model developed in early childhood through environmental observation. It enables us to: Predict action consequences (navigating crowded spaces) Anticipate event outcomes (hockey …
