Mumbai, Jan. 25 -- French technology company Valeo and NATIX Network have announced a partnership to develop a multi-camera World Foundation Model (WFM). The project combines Valeo's research in artificial intelligence and generative modelling with NATIX's decentralised physical infrastructure network (DePIN) to create an open-source platform for autonomous driving and robotics.

The initiative aims to move beyond perception-based models by creating a system capable of predicting future states and reasoning about physical interactions in a four-dimensional environment. The model will be trained using NATIX's data network, which has collected 600,000 hours of video data across the US, Europe and Asia over seven months. This data provides t...
