Alaya-EVOKE
Alaya Lab
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.


AlayaWorld
Alaya Lab
Interactive autoregressive world model with real-time camera control, prompt switching, and long-horizon memory consistency. Open-source, sustains interactive play past the one-minute mark.


Marionette
Alaya Lab
Marionette predicts an explicit, interpretable 3D world state, renders its geometry with a graphics operator that has no learnable parameters, and asks a video-diffusion model for one thing only: appearance. A world model for interactive games with articulated characters, trained on recordings from a commercial action game (drawn from the WildWorld corpus).
No Worlds on QuantWorlds are linked to Alaya Lab yet.
