World Models on Home GPUs

Waypoint-1.5 is Overworld's real-time video world model, aiming for interactive worlds that can run directly on consumer GPUs.

• The 720p model runs at up to 60FPS on RTX 3090-5090 class desktops.
• The new 360p model targets a wider range of hardware including gaming laptops, and support for Apple Silicon Mac has also been announced.
• Training data has increased by nearly 100x compared to Waypoint-1, improving environmental consistency and movement stability.
• A more efficient video modeling technique that reduces redundant computation between frames has also been applied.

The core message is that immediate responsiveness, consistent movement experience, and feasibility of running on local hardware are what give a world model its value, rather than a single sharp frame.

There are two ways to run it.

• Install and run locally with Overworld Biome
• Try it instantly in the browser at Overworld Stream

It also comes with the World Engine, which supports the official client as well as third-party tools.
