Episode notes
Playable World Models Are Here
- Project Genie creates real-time, navigable 3D worlds from text or images with object permanence and basic physics.
- This marks a shift from LLMs to world models that enable interactive simulations and future holodeck-like experiences.
Budget For Short, Costly Generations
- Expect high compute and short generation windows; Project Genie sessions currently last about 60 seconds.
- Plan for costs and limited interaction when prototyping because real-time generation is compute-intensive and priced accordingly.
Stacking Models Enables Smarter Agents
- Combining LLMs with world models, memory, and real-time data stacks into far more capable systems than text-only models.
- That stack increases the plausibility of general-purpose agents and new interactive applications.
