Alaya-EVOKE

by Alaya Lab · Released 2026-08

About

Alaya Lab’s successor to AlayaWorld — an interactive world model that externalizes persistent world state (a camera-indexed world state bank) to sustain long, coherent sessions, and supports re-prompting mid-generation without restarting. Open-weight (Apache 2.0), state-of-the-art on the WBench interactive world-model benchmark as of August 2026.

Licence & usage

Apache 2.0

Commercial use not permitted

Core EVOKE repository code is Apache 2.0 (verified directly against the LICENSE file at github.com/AlayaLab/Evoke). However, ViGeo — the depth backend required by every shipped recipe (not optional; only the alternative Depth-Anything-3 backend is optional) — ships under CC-BY-NC-4.0, a non-commercial license, per the official Hugging Face model card and GitHub README, which state verbatim: “Both depth backends ship under CC-BY-NC-4.0, which is more restrictive than this repo’s Apache-2.0. Check their licences before any commercial use.” Because ViGeo is mandatory to run EVOKE as shipped, genuine commercial use of the working system is not permitted without separately licensing ViGeo. commercial_use is recorded as false to reflect this, consistent with how this catalogue treats other Apache-licensed models with a non-commercial mandatory dependency.
