Started September 14, 2026

World Labs co-founder Justin Johnson joins MTS hosts Theo Jaffee and Sophia Puccini to discuss Atlas, World Labs’ latest world model, and the broader case for AI systems that understand and interact with the physical world. Justin explains how Atlas approaches three core tasks: generating new worlds, reconstructing real environments from images, and simulating how objects or robots might behave within them. Underlying it is a bigger thesis: just as language models became general-purpose engin...
