Investing.com -- Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) has unveiled V-JEPA 2, a new world model that improves AI’s ability to understand and predict physical interactions.

The company announced Thursday that this state-of-the-art model enables robots and other AI agents to better comprehend the physical world and anticipate how it will respond to actions. These capabilities are crucial for developing AI systems that can "think before they act."

V-JEPA 2 builds upon Meta’s first video-trained model released last year. The new version enhances understanding and prediction capabilities, allowing robots to interact with unfamiliar objects and environments to complete tasks.

The model was trained using video to learn important patterns in the physical world, including human-object interactions, object movement, and object-to-object interactions. When tested on robots in Meta’s labs, the model demonstrated abilities to perform tasks such as reaching, picking up objects, and placing objects in new locations.

Meta has also released three new benchmarks to help researchers evaluate how well existing models learn and reason about the physical world using video. By sharing these resources, Meta aims to accelerate research progress toward developing more capable AI systems.

The company emphasized that physical reasoning is essential for building AI agents that can operate in the physical world and for achieving advanced machine intelligence (AMI).
