Who is David Ha?
David Ha publishes as @hardmaru. Sakana AI’s company material documents his work with the Google Brain research team in Tokyo and the co-founding of Sakana AI in 2023.

Notable work and what to look for
World Models separates environmental representation from an action policy: it learns a compact spatial and temporal representation and trains a smaller controller, including experiments inside a generated environment. The visual project page helps explain why a world model concerns an agent’s decisions, not simply the ability to produce a video.
