At the World Robot Conference 2026, HiDream.ai founder and CEO Mei Tao unveiled the HiDream-O1-World, a native, fully multimodal world model. This model integrates text, image, and interactive control, aiming to bridge the gap between AI's understanding of the world and its ability to interact with and change it. Mei Tao emphasized that high IQ alone is insufficient for real-world tasks, highlighting the importance of physical AI and a closed-loop system connecting data, world models, agents, and embodied agents for continuous learning and evolution. AI
IMPACT This model's focus on native multimodality and physical interaction could accelerate the development of more capable embodied AI agents.
