“Solaris is our first Interface World Model, and we're excited to continue exploring what generated software can become, from richer interactions, stronger grounding and longer-lived experiences to entirely new kinds of interfaces that don't exist today. We’re working with key partners to launch Solaris publicly. Fill out the form below to request early access.”

“Today, we're sharing GWM Worlds 2, the next iteration of our research to create interactive environments. Built on top of our foundational audio-video generation model, GWM Worlds 2 turns high-fidelity video and audio generation into real-time interactive simulation. You define the environment, subjects, visual style, physical rules and ambience. Once inside, you steer the world with text actions addressed to any subject or to the scene itself, alongside continuous camera motion. A text action can be a sword slash, a spoken reply, a room flooding with water, a dust storm rolling in or anything else you can put into words.”

“Today, we're announcing GWM-1—our first general world model family. GWM-1 is an autoregressive model built on top of Gen-4.5. It generates frame by frame, runs in real time, and can be controlled interactively with actions—camera pose, robot commands, audio.”
