Why computational biologists should stop building embeddings and start building simulators, with three tractable project ideas you can implement today using flow matching, Neural ODEs, and cell fate trajectory modeling.
Are large language models merely stochastic parrots, or do they develop genuine internal representations of the world? This investigation examines evidence from Othello-GPT, spatial encoding in LLMs, and the symbol grounding problem to explore what cognitive science reveals about AI understanding.
World models enable AI agents to imagine futures and plan actions, achieving 10-100x better sample efficiency than traditional reinforcement learning. From DreamerV3 collecting diamonds in Minecraft to foundation models like Sora and Genie, world models represent AI's shift from pattern matching to simulating reality itself.
