In the second before a play develops, a basketball player can instantly recognize the defensive scheme (perception), anticipate how the defense will rotate (causal reasoning), simulate several possible outcomes (simulation), and choose the best move (decision).
Today's video AI is far from this. These models can describe what they see, but they cannot explain why something happened, predict what comes next, or decide how to respond. We introduce SVI-Bench to measure these capabilities, and to push toward models that can reason over real-world, multi-agent video.

Summer is when we think about wellness by taking breaks and recharging. It's also time to reflect on your digital wellness. Everyday tools like Outlook and Microsoft Teams have settings to quiet noise, protect your time, and help you unplug. its.unc.edu/2026/05/28/summe…

Last week, the Office of Public Affairs, along with @UNC_GradSchool, accompanied three outstanding graduate students to the North Carolina General Assembly for Graduate Education Day.
From marine science and social work to information science and AI, these Tar Heels shared how their research and experiences are making an impact across North Carolina and beyond.
Students met with members of the NCGA to advocate for continued support of graduate education and discuss the importance of research, innovation, and public service at Carolina.
Thank you to Sally Dowd, Iris Greenspun, and Viviane Ito for representing Carolina so well and demonstrating the real-world impacts of graduate education.

🎉 Happy to share that Agent World Model (AWM) paper is accepted to ICML 2026! 🌍 AWM generates infinite synthetic environments for agentic RL training.
🔥 The infrastructure is now merged into meta pytorch/OpenEnv, powering large-scale agentic RL training.
Great work @zhaoywang_CS, @lillianwei423, and nice collab. w/ @Snowflake folks, @XuCanwen, Boyi Liu, @YW91856288, @yao_zhewei, @yuxionghe

🔥 We built 1,000 worlds for AI agents to level up in.
🚀 Introducing Agent World Model — now open-source.
• 1,000 executable worlds
• 10,000 user tasks
• 35K auto-generated tools
• Fully resettable
• 1,024-way parallel RL
No real APIs.
No fragile human-designed simulators.
No LLM-hallucinated states.
👉 Trained purely in synthetic worlds
👉 Generalized to real, unseen benchmarks
Maybe Agent RL isn’t stuck on models.
Maybe it’s stuck on scalable environments.
