🤖 AI/ML - World Models
World Models is a new course at Penn, CIS 6280, that explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the world. The course aims to teach students how to build models that can learn from the world, interact with it, and make decisions based on their observations.
Key Points:
World Models Architecture: The course focuses on building models that can learn from the world, interact with it, and make decisions based on their observations. This involves understanding the underlying mechanisms of the world and how to represent them in a model.
LLMs and the World: Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in solving a wide range of tasks. However, the course argues that there is more to learn than what humans have written down, and that models should be able to learn from the world and interact with it.
Observing the World: The course emphasizes the importance of observing the world and learning from it. This involves understanding the underlying mechanisms of the world and how to represent them in a model.

🤖 AI/ML - Rebuilt Fruit Fly
The author of this tweet mentions that someone has open-sourced an entire animal, not a model of an animal, but the actual animal. The animal is a fruit fly, rebuilt joint by joint from microscopy, that walks, grips, flies, and lands inside a physics engine running on a laptop. It's called flybody, built by Google DeepMind and HHMI.
Key Points:
Rebuilt Fruit Fly: The author describes the rebuilt fruit fly, which is a remarkable achievement in AI and robotics. The fly is rebuilt joint by joint from microscopy and can walk, grip, fly, and land inside a physics engine.
Flybody: The author mentions that the rebuilt fruit fly is called flybody, which is a project built by Google DeepMind and HHMI.
Physics Engine: The author emphasizes the importance of the physics engine in simulating the behavior of the fruit fly.
