World Labs releases Atlas world model with 3D spatial-time control
kdexd · x · 2026-09-02
World Labs has introduced Atlas, a next-generation world model pretrained from scratch to natively support text, images, video, and 3D. As a multimodal autoregressive diffusion transformer, Atlas combines inputs into a shared spatial context to generate consistent 3D outputs. Key capabilities include:
- Camera-Controlled Generation: Generates videos with pixel-perfect camera control from images (up to 1 min at 1440p).
- Spatial Reconstruction: Reconstructs real-world scenes from sparse inputs, outputting novel views and explicit 3D structures, outperforming specialized SOTA models.
- Space-Time Simulation: Models space and time from video, enabling "bullet time" effects and Real-to-Sim workflows for robotics.
- Image Generation: Creates images and 360 panoramas from complex prompts with text rendering.
Atlas will power future versions of Marble and other products.
