Researchers at the Zhipu AI Institute have developed a new model called Orca, which focuses on predicting the next state of the world rather than just the next token, frame, or action. This approach aims to teach AI models a deeper understanding of how the world changes through both unconscious learning from continuous video and conscious learning from language and events. The model utilizes a vast dataset of 125,000 hours of video and 160 million event annotations, and has demonstrated improved performance in understanding state transitions, event evolution, and dynamic motion, even showing promise in robot control without explicit action pre-training.
