> Oasis: First Real-Time Video Game Without a Game Engine! š®
DecartAI & Etched just released Oasis - a fully AI-generated video game running at 20 FPS (frames per second). The model takes keyboard inputs and generates everything - physics, rules, graphics - on the fly, without any game engine.
ā”ļø What makes this special? Current text-to-video models (Mochi-1, Sora, Kling) generate about 1 frame every 10-20 seconds (that's the kind of device I had to play LoL back in the day, thus my low rankings). Oasis is 200 times faster, making it the first playable AI-generated game.
āļø Under the hood, it uses a vision transformer to encode space and a diffusion model to generate frames. The secret sauce is "dynamic noising" - a technique that keeps the video stable between frames.
Key insights: ā”ļø Generates 20 FPS, vs 0.2 FPS for other DIT-based video models ā£ The specialized hardware Sohu developed by Etched allows to handle 10x more player than H100
š® Features real game mechanics ā£ Movement, jumping, item management ā£ Physics and lighting ā£ Procedurally generated worlds
ā ļø Current limitations ā£ Blurry graphics at a distance ā£ Objects sometimes change appearance ā£ Memory issues in long sessions
