Wayve is developing an end-to-end autonomous driving software Wayve AI Driver based on a proprietary AI model. This approach replaces the modular "sense-plan-act" architecture of the traditional AV1.0 approach with a single neural network trained on diverse data to transform raw sensor inputs into safe outputs. AV2.0 learns driving skills from raw, unlabeled data using self-training, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming curation of labeled datasets. Wayve also uses generative models of the world for training, creating rich and realistic synthetic scenarios. Wayve's technology does not require HD maps, allowing it to be easily scaled to new roads and cities. Wayve AI Driver is sensor- and hardware-independent and compatible with any type of vehicle.

Runway is a service for generating artistic videos from text prompts or graphic templates (video-to-video, image-to-video). The company uses diffusion models, visual transformers, temporal consistency methods (to ensure character/environment consistency across scenes). The service also offers video editing tools: object removal, background and lighting changes, stylization, scene appearance management, cropping and more. It provides specialized tools 3d-room dressing, virtual outfit trying, video-to-animation, storyboard-to-animation. Runway is used by professional filmmakers, artists, YouTube content creators and marketers. The service provides an API for business and a mobile app for a general audience. Runway also develops own 3D-world model that works through frame-by-frame prediction, creating a simulation with an understanding of physics and how the world actually behaves over time

AGI startup by renowned AI scientist Yann LeCun who was formerly VP and Chief AI Scientist at Meta. AMI (Advanced Machine Intelligence) Labs is working on world model AI. It positions this model as an alternative to LLMs. The goal is to create AI that "understands" its environment (aka the world) so it can simulate cause-and-effect and what-if scenarios to predict outcomes. It’s the answer to LLMs’ structural error/hallucination problems.

DeepMind was acquired by Google as a leading ML startup and now acts as its mostly independent AI division. Its initial goal was to create strong artificial intelligence, which the developers hoped to achieve through the ability to play games (Atari, Go, chess, Dota) and control physical robots. DeepMind gradually took over all of Google's AI projects, including the LLM model and the Gemini chatbot. DeepMind was one of the first to develop multimodal intelligence, including language, code, images, video and 3D world generation. Furthermore, the startup continues projects of creating specialized machine learning systems for various industries, including medicine (drug development) and energy (energy optimization for Google's data centers).

General Intuition is a spinoff of Medal, a platform for uploading and sharing videogame clips. The startup uses this vast collection of game videos to train and create base models and AI agents capable of understanding how objects and entities move through space and time. General Intuition's model is capable of understanding environments it hasn't been trained on and correctly predicts actions within them. It does this solely based on visual input: the agents see only what the human player sees and navigate space following the controller's directions. According to the company, this approach can be naturally transferred to physical systems such as robotic arms, drones and autonomous vehicles, which people often control with video game controllers.

Odyssey is an AI lab focused on creating universal world models, which the company calls new form of audiovisual intelligence. These models are to form the basis of the next generation of games, films, education content, training simulations and advertising. These models don't just generate video - they enable interaction with the 3D world i.e. creation of interactive videos. The company achieves this through a new multi-stage training pipeline that transforms the model into a causal behavioral video model that reacts to actions in real time and continuously responds to input. As you play the video, you shape it in real time using natural text prompts, similar to communicating with a language model.
