SREAL AI · WORLD MODELS

Teaching video models to understand the physical world.

We develop physically grounded video models that learn consistent dynamics—building the foundations for general-purpose world models.

OUR FOCUS

From pixels to physical laws.

Today’s video models can generate compelling motion. Our work asks a harder question: can they learn why the world moves the way it does?

01

Understand

Build representations that connect video observations with objects, geometry, actions, and state.

02

Reason

Verify whether predicted changes are visually plausible, physically consistent, and reachable by action.

03

Generate

Create coherent, controllable futures across multiple agents, viewpoints, and interactive scenes.

GENERATIVE WORLD ENGINE

A foundation for interactive, physically intelligent worlds.

Our generative world engine brings video understanding, physical reasoning, scene generation, multi-agent interaction, and real-time simulation into one research-driven platform.
