American AI startup founded by Fei Fei Li, a computer scientist at Stanford University. The company has built a world model called Marble that can create digital versions of 3D worlds which are internally consistent and complete. Unlike video-based world models, Marble's spaces are not hallucinated afresh each time a user looks around; instead, they are created in their entirety from the start. This means it is possible to have several users inside the same world simultaneously.
World Labs is pitching its product to architects, who could use it to dream up a space and explore it virtually before sending it to a 3D printer.
Since we have to speak well of the dead, let's knock them while they're alive.
