SO WHAT
Atlas is a phase-transition signal: spatial cognition moves from humans to deployed models, compressing the thousand-day window for meaningful human control of agency.
World Labs introduces Atlas, positioned as an omni world model for spatial intelligence. The signal is less about mapping spaces, more about shifting cognition into systems that can simulate choices.
