Visko launches Orbis 1.0 out of stealth: real-time world models with persistent memory and infinite length
Scobleizer · x · 2026-09-03
Startup Visko has launched Orbis 1.0, its first 'Live Model', and stepped out of stealth. Unlike clip-generating video models, Orbis streams interactive, physics-grounded living worlds in real time with persistent memory, infinite-length generation, and full-duplex interactivity; a demo is live and an API is available via @reactorworld.
Two expert models were also unveiled: Morphe (swaps or animates a person in video while preserving identity and background) and Kinesis (precisely adds or changes elements with space-time keyframes).
The team frames real-time world models as foundational for individual-level content personalization, targeting robotics, entertainment, live commerce, education, and advertising. Advisors include Michael I. Jordan (UC Berkeley); pre-seed led by Llama Venture.
