Introducing PAN — MBZUAI’s New World Model for Interactive Intelligence Developed by MBZUAI’s Institute of Foundation Models, PAN is built for simulation, prediction, and agentic reasoning. Unlike traditional video generators that only output frames, PAN maintains a persistent internal state that evolves when guided with natural language. Its Generative Latent Prediction architecture combines: • A latent encoder to capture the world state • A dynamics module that evolves that state step-by-step • A video diffusion decoder that visualizes outcomes By decoding at every step using a causal sliding-window diffusion process, PAN stays grounded in real-world physics and maintains long-horizon continuity, a leap beyond single-shot models. Evaluated on action fidelity, long-horizon stability, and simulative planning, PAN delivers state-of-the-art performance compared to open models and rivals leading commercial systems. For robotics, autonomy, and decision support, PAN is a foundation for the next wave of intelligent, foresight-driven AI. panworld.ai
