Fei-Fei Li's lab launched a world model with no paper and no price.
World Labs released Atlas on 1 September, a model that builds three-dimensional scenes from images and text. It renders video up to a minute long at 1440p with full camera control. There is no paper, no model card, no price and no named partner.
