PhiZero
CASIA's reason-then-render world model first predicts future physics as a discrete 'physical language' sequence (256 tokens, 175x compression vs raw VAE tokens) built on a Qwen3-VL-4B reasoner, then renders it to video via diffusion. Leads on Physics-IQ (41.2), PhyGround (3.01) and IntPhys2 (56.34); code not yet released.
