World Model Survey Paper Review — Genie 3 Overview
About Event
TL;DR This is a beginner-friendly peer-led “paper clinic” where we talk about Genie 3 model. You’ll leave with a clean mental map of the field, core architecture patterns, and the top open problems worth tracking (or building on).
What we’ll cover (in order)
To get the most out of the session, we suggest skimming the following beforehand (no need to read every word in depth):
Genie 1 paper (Genie: Generative Interactive Environments):https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.15391
Genie 3 architecture blog post (Genie 3 do not have a paper):https://www.cursor-ide.com/blog/genie-3-ai-model

Learning requirements
• Comfortable skimming a technical paper and discussing design tradeoffs
• Curious about agents/robotics/video/3D and what “world model” really means
• Beginner-friendly. Ok to come with no math or ML background — we’ll keep it builder-friendly
Who this is for
Engineers, students, researchers, and builders who want a high-signal overview of modern world models—and a sharper framework to evaluate new “simulator” claims.
