Summary
According to a post on X by @mbzuai, MBZUAI's Institute of Foundation Models has released PAN 2, an open foundation world model that predicts and simulates the physical world so agents can explore the outcomes of actions before taking them. The release includes model weights plus training and inference code. Hao AI Lab announced day-0 support in FastVideo and said PAN 2 simulates 20 seconds in about 2 minutes on eight B300 GPUs.

What happened
MBZUAI says PAN 2 is an open foundation world model that predicts and simulates the physical world so agents can explore the outcomes of actions before taking them, released with model weights plus training and inference code.

Why it matters
Because the weights and code are published, researchers and developers can inspect, run and adapt the model themselves. Teams building agents that plan physical actions may want to compare the reported speed on eight B300 GPUs with their own hardware. The next thing to watch is how PAN 2 performs in independent testing outside the announcements.
