World Models (Generative Interactive Environments)
Models that simulate environments for agents or users.
Tier Grades
Tier A: Frontier AI labs
feasible
medium confidence
Google DeepMind (Genie 3) and World Labs (Marble) are observed.
Tier B: Indonesian AI labs
not feasible
low confidence
The notes publish no compute or data figure and show only frontier or funded actors over a multi-year horizon; the notes verify no Indonesian national compute programme, BRIN facility or ITB GPU inventory (T11 Part E item 2).
Tier C: Institution units such as ITB
not feasible
low confidence
The notes publish no compute or data figure; graded on the multi-year horizon and frontier-only actors.
Tier D: Organisations such as SEMAI (PoT, PoC, PoV)
not feasible
low confidence
The notes publish no compute figure for building these; d could only use commercial products such as Marble (free to $95 per month).
Where this comes from
Tiers: a) frontier AI labs, b) Indonesian AI labs, c) institution units such as ITB, d) organisations such as SEMAI delivering proof of technology, concept and value. Each rationale cites the anchors below.
Anchors
- ComputeCompute not published.
- DataNot published.
- Team size (proxy)Proxy only (author count of an exemplar paper, not a headcount): not sourced in the notes.
- Time horizonMulti-year.
- Shelf-life signalsnot in the notes
- Pipeline roleTier A produces world models; Tier D may use commercial ones such as Marble; the notes show no Tier B or Tier C role.
Where this comes from
Team size is a proxy (author counts of exemplar papers), not a headcount.
