Agora-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.
