MBZUAI’s IFM Releases PAN 2, an Open 29B World Model for Physical AI

MBZUAI's Institute of Foundation Models released PAN 2, an Apache 2.0 world model that takes a scene and text action and simulates the outcome as video, shipping weights, training code and inference code. It pairs an LLM planner with a 29B MMDiT diffusion transformer trained from scratch, outputting 704×1248 video at 24 fps up to 20 seconds. IFM reports 34.0% full-plan completion on 100 multi-step tasks, leading six tested models, while trailing MiniMax-H3 on single actions and human preference.
