After years of competing to build the best model for understanding all the world's writing, AI makers are now racing to build models that better understand the physical world.
Why it matters: Robots are one main use, but giving AI an understanding of real-world physics is also key to powering everything from video games to architecture.
Driving the news: Autodesk is announcing a pair of foundation models Tuesday, both of which use understanding of designs and the physical world to generate realistic computer-aided-design (CAD) objects.
OpenAI is said to be ramping up investment in building models with real-world understanding as it also seeks to reboot its robotics effort, per Wired.
A host of startups, including Fei-Fei Li's World Labs, have made building real-world models their focus.
