Waypoint-1.5: A Real-Time Video World Model for Consumer Hardware

Waypoint‑1.5 is a real‑time diffusion world model designed for interactive video generation on consumer‑grade hardware. It is pre‑trained on 100,000 hours of control‑aligned video game footage and can generate playable video conditioned on full keyboard and mouse input. The system offers two resolution variants, distinguishes rendered FPS, latent FPS, and control rate, and includes a detailed data pipeline, architecture, training methodology, and runtime system.

Magpie: Real-Time World Renderer for Interactive Games

Magpie is a real‑time generative world‑rendering system designed for interactive games. It decouples gameplay execution from visual generation, allowing designers to define scenes and rules in a game engine while a separate render server produces visual output from the engine’s white‑box frames. This approach preserves gameplay designability and reproducibility, and reduces early prototype dependence on finished visual assets.

Building Pretraining Data for World Models: An Unreal Engine-Based Pipeline for Action-Conditioned Video Generation

The paper introduces a large‑scale synthetic data pipeline built on Unreal Engine to generate action‑conditioned, multi‑view video for training world models. The system operates in two stages: real‑time physics simulation records trajectories, then offline rendering produces high‑quality video. It includes a distributed production framework with task partitioning, automated filtering, and a 25‑server cluster, yielding over 2,600 hours of 1080p and 6,000 hours of 720p video from 429 levels and 40 characters.
