New research reveals that current AI world models like Sora and Genie fail to predict human actions because they only simulate physics while ignoring beliefs, intentions, and feelings. A "Mental World Modeling" framework that incorporates these mental variables shows weaker language models can outperform stronger models that lack this capability.

Surging demand for AI agents is colliding with limited compute capacity across the industry. Reports indicate Anthropic experiencing outages, OpenAI ending Sora access, and GPU prices jumping nearly 50 percent as infrastructure struggles to meet demand.
Alibaba led a $290 million funding round for ShengShu, a three-year-old Chinese startup developing AI models that aim to connect perception and action, moving beyond traditional large language models. ShengShu founder Zhu Jun stated the company aims to build models that are more general than LLMs.
Anthropic issued mass DMCA takedown notices after accidentally exposing parts of Claude Code's internal source code in a recent release, inadvertently removing thousands of unrelated GitHub projects. The company has since retracted the bulk of the notices and called it an accident.
