World models Tencent HunyuanWorld 2.0 with open weights. Marble from Fei-Fei Li's World Labs. Odyssey-2 in free preview right now. Decart Oasis streaming 360p in real time. Alibaba Wan 2.2 on Apache 2.0. 3D assets Hunyuan3D 2.1 generates 4K PBR meshes on 6 GB VRAM. Ran it on my home GPU, no issues.
