The two-day 8th Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) Conference opened on Friday, bringing together global researchers to discuss cutting-edge AI, international collaboration and young talent development.
During the event, the world's first general-purpose world base model — the Wujie Physis-v0.1 — was unveiled. The model acts as a core engine for AI to comprehend the real physical world, fundamentally reshaping how AI perceives and reasons about physical reality.
"All scenarios in the physical world obey the same laws of physics. For such a base model, what it learns is actually physics by nature. Eventually, it can be applied to interactive environments, embodied AI control, including the embodied brain, and even scientific predictions just like what we have demonstrated — essentially serving any downstream application scenarios that need a grasp of physical reality," said Chen Boyuan, director of the Behavioral World Model Center at BAAI.
The academy also introduced a taxonomy for world models. Similar to the levels of autonomous driving, the system categorizes world models based on their ability to understand the physical world. The system helps sort out and define the many different technical approaches to world models that exist today.

Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh met with Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese foreign minister, in Ulan Bator on Saturday.
During the meeting, Khurelsukh said the Mongolia-China relationship has become a model for inter-state relations in the region.
The two countries have consistently respected each other's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, while deepening mutually beneficial cooperation across various sectors, he said, noting that bilateral trade is expected to reach 20 billion U.S. dollars this year.
Describing China as Mongolia's good neighbor, Khurelsukh said that developing friendly relations with China is a top priority of Mongolia's foreign policy.
Khurelsukh said Mongolia is committed to the one-China principle, regarding Taiwan as an inalienable part of China's territory, and opposes any form of "Taiwan independence" activities. It also considers matters related to Hong Kong, Xizang and Xinjiang as China's internal affairs. Mongolia will not do anything that harms China's interests, regardless of its relations with other countries.
He also noted that Mongolia is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in regional and international affairs.
For his part, Wang said China has always put China-Mongolia relations at an important place in its neighborhood diplomacy, noting that China has both the will and the capability to be a neighbor that Mongolia can rely on, a trustworthy friend, and a partner in accelerating its development.
Wang reaffirmed China's respect for Mongolia's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the development path that Mongolia has chosen for itself.
He expressed readiness to work more closely with Mongolia to align development strategies, tap into the full potential of bilateral cooperation, advance existing collaboration in areas such as connectivity, energy and mineral resources, trade and investment, and create new growth drivers for cooperation in key minerals, green development, the digital economy, and other emerging fields.
During his three-day visit, Wang is also scheduled to meet with Mongolian Prime Minister Nyam-Osor Uchral and hold talks with Foreign Minister Batmunkh Battsetseg.
