XGEN Labs open-sourced XGEN-JING, an egocentric interactive experience model built on MiniMax-H3, available on Hugging Face and GitHub.
Key capabilities:
- Keyboard-controlled navigation through real or imagined worlds via camera controls;
- Interaction and dialogue: steer object manipulation and character conversations with text, generating video and audio jointly;
- Reference conditioning: combine character, object, and scene images to compose experiences and branch actions from the same starting point.
The release includes the four-step bidirectional JING-Flash-v1, inference code, and prompt skills; a causal model and technical report are coming. The demo was validated on six H100 GPUs (one text encoder, one VAE, four DiT with sequence parallelism), with FlashAttention-4 as the default backend.
