Worlds in Action Hack San Francisco 🌎✨

is the first spatial and physical AI hackathon built entirely around world models, not as theory, but as things you can explore, break, and ship with.


World models are the next ChatGPT moment.


​LLMs learned language. World models learn physics. They predict how objects move, collide, and behave - not from text, but from real-world spatial understanding. That's why they're transforming robotics, simulation, game development, and XR at the same time.

​The pipelines are here. Most people just haven't used them yet.


This hack changes that.
