There has been a lot of confusion around world models. Depending on who you ask, a world model is a generative model, a 3D reconstruction model, or a latent-space prediction model. I would like to propose a fourth definition– one that goes back to the original- the Internal

The content of this short post will be already obvious to many researchers, but it's still worth writing out explicitly, especially when I see some assumptions that newer researchers are making. Tldr : The logit lens is a convenient way to investigate internal representations. But it can be misleading,
