World models generate, reconstruct, and simulate any possible world. They understand how worlds appear, behave, and evolve so that we can render imagined worlds for creative users, simulate the real world in high fidelity, and help robots plan actions. At World Labs, we build these general purpose world models in pursuit of spatial intelligence.
Today we are introducing Atlas, our next-generation world model. Atlas is an omni model that we pretrained from scratch to natively operate on text, images, video, and 3D. It is a multimodal autoregressive diffusion transformer: all inputs are combined into a shared spatial context. Atlas uses that context to generate what comes next, staying consistent in 3D with everything it has seen and imagining what lies beyond it. Atlas is built to scale: its performance improves with increased training compute, and we expect this trend to hold as we continue scaling.
Atlas can perform a broad range of tasks spanning world generation, reconstruction, and simulation:
Camera-Controlled Generation : Atlas generates images and videos from one or more images with pixel-perfect camera control, outputting up to 1 minute of video at 1440p.

Spatial Reconstruction : Atlas reconstructs real world scenes from one to dozens of input images. It generates both image frames from novel views and explicit 3D outputs, outperforming state-of-the-art models specialized for 3D reconstruction.

Space-Time Simulation : Atlas models space and time from input videos, reframing videos for dramatic visual effects and enabling Real-to-Sim workflows for robotics.

Image Generation: Atlas generates images and 360 panoramas from text; it can follow complex prompts, render text, and generate a wide variety of visual styles.
Atlas will power future versions of Marble and other products from World Labs.
Camera-Controlled Generation
Atlas takes one or more reference images and generates new views at any camera position and angle you specify. Generated views match the content and geometry of the input images, smoothly extrapolating beyond them to imagine parts of the scene not visible in the inputs.
