EDITORIALLY VERIFIED PRODUCT INFORMATION
About LiveWorld
An interactive video world model that explicitly simulates dynamics outside the current camera view. Combines an action-conditioned video backbone with state adapters so previously unseen or revisited regions can evolve beyond the visible viewport.
Key features
Releases training and inference code, processed examples and support for 1.3B and 14B configurations.
Getting started
Use Ubuntu 22.04, Python 3.11 and the documented CUDA/PyTorch stack, run the setup script to fetch weights and examples, then execute the included kid_coffee inference case.
Real-time interaction
Combines an action-conditioned video backbone with state adapters so previously unseen or revisited regions can evolve beyond the visible viewport.
Pricing
Apache-2.0 code; self-hosted compute costs extra Repository code is published under Apache-2.0. Confirm separate model, dataset and dependency terms before reuse. No hosted price is inferred. Budget for the documented GPU, storage and setup requirements.
Limitations
The tested setup lists H100 96 GB or H200 140 GB GPUs, at least 128 GB system memory and roughly 100 GB of pretrained assets.
EDITORIAL VIEW
Editor's Verdict
LiveWorld is included as a source-available implementation relevant to real-time generative video or interactive world systems.
Run the supplied example on representative hardware and review every linked licence before production use.

Technical notes & official performance
Official Performance Data
- The repository frames LiveWorld as an interactive world model but does not publish one comparable end-to-end latency figure for the released setup.
Technical Notes
- Flash Attention is required; training and sample creation support multi-node multi-GPU execution.
