I played with Marble yesterday, Fei-Fei/World Labs' new product.

It is the most impressed I've been with an AI experience since the first time I saw a model one-shot material code.

Sure, its an early product. The visual output reminds me a lot of early SDXL. But just look at what's happened to video in the last year and image in the last three. The same thing is going to happen here, and fast, and I see the vision for generative worlds for everything from gaming/media to education to RL/simulation.

I wasn't actually able to use it because the servers were overloaded. What exactly impressed you (or more generally, what does it actually let you do at the moment?).

You give it a text prompt and optional image.

What you get is a 3D room based on the prompt/image. It rewrites your prompt to a specific format. Overall the rooms tend to be detailed and imaginative.

Then you can fly around the room like in Minecraft creative mode. Really looking forward to more editing features/infill to augment this.

Marble appears to be like HunyuanWorld to me, but this time they marketed it as a first step to a world model, and it has multimodal capabilities.
