    Starchild-1
    Starchild-1 is the first real-time multimodal world model, built to simulate both the visuals and sounds of the world in real time. Unlike language models, which learn from text, world models learn directly from the world itself through pixels, motion, and actions encoded in large-scale video, becoming capable of understanding and simulating an approximation of the world as it evolves. Starchild-1 goes beyond traditional world models, which have mostly focused on visual generation alone, by autoregressively generating synchronized audio and video while continuously responding to streaming user input. Instead of producing a fixed offline clip, it predicts the next audio and video state of a world based on past observations and live inputs, enabling environments, conversations, ambient sound, and world dynamics to change interactively. Users can stream text, speech, and action inputs into the model during rollout, dynamically altering what is seen and heard in real time.

    Agora-1

    Agora-1

    Odyssey

    Agora-1 is a multi-agent world model that enables multiple participants, human or AI, to share and interact within the same world simulation in real time. It is the first in a series of multi-agent world models exploring how world models can enable new shared experiences across gaming, robotics, defense, education, foundation models, and more. World models generate high-fidelity simulations of arbitrary environments, but until now, they have largely been limited to a single active participant inside those simulated worlds. Agora-1 introduces multi-agent world simulations by allowing up to four players to interact in the same generated world at once. Players are matched into a shared deathmatch simulation, where every participant interacts with the same world simultaneously while the model simulates player actions, maintains shared world state, and streams generated pixels to each player.

    Mercury 2

    Mercury 2

    Inception

    Mercury 2 is the first reasoning model fast enough to pick up the phone, a reasoning diffusion language model built for real-time voice agents. Instead of making callers wait through seconds of dead air while an autoregressive model generates thinking tokens one by one, Mercury 2 uses a diffusion large language model architecture to generate tokens in parallel, decoding 1000+ tokens per second on standard NVIDIA GPUs. That speed is fast enough to run a full reasoning pass and start speaking within the latency budget of a natural conversation, reducing the cost of reasoning from seconds of silence to roughly 300 milliseconds. Mercury models work by corrupting clean text into noise, then training a standard Transformer to reverse the process and predict clean text across all positions simultaneously. Because each denoising pass touches many tokens, generation uses the GPU more efficiently than one-token-at-a-time decoding, making custom-silicon-like speed possible on NVIDIA H100s.

    Sparrow

    Sparrow

    DeepMind

    Sparrow is a research model and proof of concept, designed with the goal of training dialogue agents to be more helpful, correct, and harmless. By learning these qualities in a general dialogue setting, Sparrow advances our understanding of how we can train agents to be safer and more useful – and ultimately, to help build safer and more useful artificial general intelligence (AGI). Sparrow is not yet available for public use. Training a conversational AI is an especially challenging problem because it’s difficult to pinpoint what makes a dialogue successful. To address this problem, we turn to a form of reinforcement learning (RL) based on people's feedback, using the study participants’ preference feedback to train a model of how useful an answer is. To get this data, we show our participants multiple model answers to the same question and ask them which answer they like the most.
