World model labs leave their own data supplier guessing at the spec
AMI Labs says it is still in a research and building phase and will not discuss product plans or a timeline. World Labs' Marble ships now as a way to build explorable scenes. A roadmap needs more than that.

buildOne report1 publisher World Labs' Atlas mixes observed and invented geometry in one measurable 3D output
Give Atlas a few images and it generates views a camera never shot, then exports depth, point clouds, and 3D splats you can move through. The invented geometry looks as measurable as the observed, a gap that matters more to a robot than a filmmaker.

World Labs' Atlas turns one photo into a 3D scene a robot can be tested in
The capability claim is specific enough for a product team to test, with one image going in and up to a minute of 1440p video plus 3D splats coming out, though the camera-path win rests on a blind human study World Labs ran itself.
