Woow Nvidia has just released a 2.6B open-source world model 🔥 You can turn a single image, text prompt and trajectory into controllable worlds... And on a single GPU! - Code available on GitHub - Paper as well on arxiv You can use it for many things like embodied... show more

You can learn more about it here: - Project: - GitHub: - Paper: World models are evolving so fast! Soon we'll have a Genie 3 equivalent running at home.

lol. “Everyone” that has a 4000.00 video card…..

Still a consumer GPU. You can rent one online for like $0.40/hr.

@dennis_mcleod How?

@dennis_mcleod Using platforms like vast ai, runpod or novita

@amerukraine Does it have free api calls too 😬

Brand new, so maybe we'll have a cheap API soon if a neo cloud is hosting it.

Super clutch! Thank you !

Nvidia cooking as well in last days big W

They're doing a lot for the open source ecosystem!

Did the release the model? I cannot find it

@llmgram

wow

Interesting release. 2.6B params on single GPU is a meaningful efficiency benchmark for embodied AI research. Curious how the trajectory control generalizes across unseen environments.

Yes exactly. The efficiency is quite incredible. Usually you need powerful cloud capacities to run this kind of model.

@C4ndide Everyone who has 5 or 6 thousand dollars for a GPU

Not for most

Nano banana + this is probably goated

At some pointpoint NVIDIA will go back to targeting prosumers. If the can open source mini models, they could give the big dogs something to worry about

Crazy how these models getting more accessible each day

It looks awesome!

This is great. 2.6B can even run on a 250 dollar 8GB VRAM card

Another day, another world model I'll probably spend a weekend failing to integrate into something useful. My GPU is ready for the abuse. One tiny project closer.

Nothing is released. Where are the Models? Inference Code?

That’s huge

Will it run on RTX 4090?

The models aren’t released yet 😢

This is truly groundbreaking news from Nvidia. Releasing a 2.6B open-source world model that can run efficiently on a single GPU is a massive leap forward for democratization in AI. The potential applications for robotics, immersive simulations, and interactive environments are absolutely immense. Thank you for sharing this exciting update!

This is wild. Single GPU world models just became real

everyone? bro, no one I know has a h100 just sitting around

Running an open-source world model on a single GPU is a huge accessibility moment for AI research

Road to VR immersion

Holodeck confirmed

Image plus text prompt plus trajectory into a controllable world is a sentence that would have sounded like sci-fi two years ago

@machinelearnflx So cool 😎

are you a shill ... "things like embodied AI and robotics research" .... did you ever do any robotic research dude .. no.. you just repeat like a parrot

Mesmerized

Magic time

@grok

This is amazing!

Controllable world generation from a single image on one GPU being open-source removes the biggest simulation bottleneck for robot training. What's the visual fidelity ceiling?
