Towards A Blueprint for Open Science of Foundation Models
Zhengzhong Liu · Jiannan Xiang
Abstract
At the Institute for Foundation Models (IFM) we build state‑of‑the‑art foundation models and pursue open science, enabling the whole community to push the frontiers together. In this talk we'll showcase our next frontier: moving beyond text to models that understand the world. By building rich, interactive virtual‑world simulations we can embed intelligence in realistic environments, unlocking capabilities far beyond language generation. We will (1) introduce IFM's open‑source ethos, (2) give a quick overview of our SOTA models, and (3) explain how world models will reshape AI research. Join us to discover how we plan to bridge the gap from language models to truly world‑aware intelligence.
