VAST Open-Sources Real-Time World Model EdenLive
KEY FACTS
- VAST has open-sourced EdenLive, a real-time world model that generates game visuals while the user interacts with it.
- EdenLive accepts a range of reference inputs, including white-box models, 2D scenes, and video recordings.
- VAST has also open-sourced EdenGolem v0.1, which generates standalone, runnable 3D grey-box games.
- EdenLive can be used for embodied data augmentation, replacing human hands with robotic hands.
- The open-source release includes 5B and 14B model weights, inference code, a front-end workbench, and a technical report.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION
VAST decouples state from rendering, letting the video model focus on visuals while the interaction system manages rules - a step closer to usable engineering than a mere showy demo. Open weights and tooling lower the barrier to development, but the stability of real-time long-horizon generation still needs more real-world testing. For developers, this is a low-cost way to try out a world-model workflow.
