Key facts
- Design: decouples state evolution (kept by coding agents or engines) from appearance (rendered by EdenLive) for interactive world models (README)
- Output: over 24 fps, minute-scale generation, 480p/720p; the 5B model runs on a single GPU at 720p (README); the verified setup lists 80 GB NVIDIA GPUs
- Released: 5B and 14B weights (bidirectional and few-step chunk-autoregressive), real-time streaming inference code, a ‘game-prototype-turbo’ skill that turns a text prompt into a coarse playable game, and a frontend
- Hugging Face: VAST-AI/EdenLive (Oct 18), EdenLive-5B-Diffusers and EdenLive-14B-Diffusers (Oct 19); GitHub repo ~228 stars on Oct 20
- Authors: Zehuan Huang, Tianxing Xu, Chunli Peng, Cheng Zhang et al.; project lead Peng Wang; corresponding author Yanpei Cao; part of VAST’s Project Eden
What happened
VAST published the code and weights of a renderer that “paints” detailed visuals over simple program output in real time. The upstream program handles the rules, so the neural model only has to make it look good.
Why it matters
It is an open, consumer-GPU route to “neural rendering” for games: let normal code or an agent build a crude playable world and let a video model supply the graphics. Speed and quality claims are VAST’s own.
