Meta launched V-Jepa 2, a next-generation world model trained on video. It lets robots and AI agents anticipate physical dynamics before taking action. This is a major advance in giving machines practical “common-sense” vision and planning.
Humans build internal models of the world as we act. We know that when we toss a ball, gravity will pull it back down. That awareness helps us weave through crowds or catch a moving puck. Meta believes AI needs similar predictive power knowing what will happen next, not just what’s happening now.
V-Jepa 2 works by watching video, learning how objects move, interact, and respond to force. Meta says this version improves over its predecessor by spotting subtle physical dynamics. Robots powered by V-Jepa 2 can pick, move, and place objects more accurately, even in unfamiliar settings.

Meta released not one but three new benchmarks so researchers can measure how well their models reason about the world visually. These benchmarks aim to speed up the field by giving clear, shared tasks focused on physical prediction from video.
By combining V-Jepa 2 with these benchmarks, Meta is pushing toward machine intelligence that operates reliably in real environments. The company frames this move as progress toward AI that plans ahead, not just reacts, though they stop short of claiming full “advanced machine intelligence.”
While Meta doesn’t offer release timelines for V-Jepa 2 in its consumer-facing products, researchers can now access the model and the benchmarks. This signals Meta’s move to share foundational tools rather than keep them in-house.
In effect, today’s launch marks a shift: it places video-trained world models at the center of AI’s next stage. By focusing on physical prediction and making evaluation tools public, Meta hopes to guide development toward safer, more capable robots and agents.
