LingBot-World: First Open-Source Rival to Genie 3

LingBot-World emerges as the first open-source alternative to Genie 3, offering developers a powerful world model for interactive AI environments and

Someone dug into the newly released LingBot-World and found it’s the first fully open-source world model that actually competes with proprietary stuff like Genie 3.

What makes it interesting:

  • Runs at 16 FPS for real-time interaction
  • Objects stay consistent in spatial memory for 60+ seconds even when off-screen
  • Handles complex physics better than Genie 3’s “dynamic degree”
  • Full code and weights available (not just API access)

The spatial memory thing is pretty cool - means you can pan the camera away from an object and it’ll still be there when you come back, maintaining position and state. Previous open models struggled with this kind of consistency.

Nice to see a competitive world model that doesn’t require paying for API credits or dealing with rate limits.
