The Genie 3 demos made interactive world models feel inevitable, except you could never run one. An open one just went public, and I’ve been going through the demo clips while the weights download. It works like this: you get a scene, WASD to move, IJKL for camera, and it renders the next frame from whatever you do. No prompt-and-wait video. In one clip the player rides a jet ski and taps hotkeys to make a dolphin leap alongside, then a shark surge up. The honest catch, straight from the paper’s own limitations: it holds appearance but not identity. Leave a spot, come back, and that region is regenerated rather than remembered. Physics is learned purely from pixels with no explicit collision, so objects sometimes pass through each other. This is LingBot World, from Robbyant, an embodied AI company under Ant Group. A 14B model plus a 1.3B variant the paper says runs on a single consumer GPU, search lingbot-world-v2 on Hugging Face. License is CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0, so non-commercial. Their stress test claims one continuous 60-minute session with no visible decay, but that is their own run and the thing only just went public, so independent verification does not exist yet. Curious what breaks once people push it. submitted by /u/OkCan8173
