Alibaba Group Holding has introduced 'Happy Oyster', a world model for real-time virtual world creation and interaction. The model supports two modes: directing mode for building a world based on text and image prompts, and wandering mode for exploring that world. Happy Oyster can generate video clips of up to three minutes and continuously respond to instructions. This launch follows World Labs' unveiling of Spark 2.0, an open-source 3D rendering engine. World Labs was co-founded by Li Fei-Fei, a Stanford professor known as the AI 'godmother', in early 2024. The developments are part of a growing trend in 'world models' that aim to extend AI capabilities beyond language processing to comprehend physical reality.
