LingBot-World: Open-Source World Simulator

LingBot-World is an open-source world simulator that evolves a video generation model into an interactive, real-time environment engine. Built on a 28B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts architecture, it achieves high-fidelity dynamics across diverse domains with sub-second latency at 16 fps, outperforming Genie 3 and Mirage 2 in dynamic degree while being fully open-source. - **Three-stage evolution pipeline:** A progressive training strategy transforms a pretrained video model into an interactive simulator: Stage I establishes a general video prior via the Wan2.2 14B model, Stage II injects world knowledge and action control through MoE middle-training on 60-second sequences, and Stage III adapts to causal attention with few-step distillation for real-time inference. - **Scalable data engine with hierarchical captioning:** A hybrid data engine ingests real-world footage, game engine recordings, and Unreal Engine synthetic data. A three-layer captioning strategy (narrative, scene-static, and dense temporal) disentangles motion control from scene generation, enabling precise action-contingent dynamics learning. - **Emergent spatial memory:** Without explicit 3D representations, the model maintains structural integrity of landmarks after 60 seconds out of view, reasons about unobserved state evolution (vehicles continuing trajectories off-screen), and supports coherent generation up to 10 minutes. VBench evaluation shows 0.8857 dynamic degree versus 0.76 for Yume-1.5 and 0.72 for HY-World 1.5. - **Versatile embodied AI applications:** Beyond visual synthesis, the framework supports promptable world events (global weather/style shifts and local object injection via text), an action agent trained on Qwen3-VL-2B for autonomous exploration, and 3D reconstruction from generated videos validating geometric consistency.

Abstract
We present LingBot-World, an open-sourced world simulator stemming from video generation. Positioned as a top-tier world model, LingBot-World offers the following features. (1) It maintains high fidelity and robust dynamics in a broad spectrum of environments, including realism, scientific contexts, cartoon styles, and beyond. (2) It enables a minute-level horizon while preserving contextual consistency over time, which is also known as "long-term memory". (3) It supports real-time interactivity, achieving a latency of under 1 second when producing 16 frames per second. We provide public access to the code and model in an effort to narrow the divide between open-source and closed-source technologies. We believe our release will empower the community with practical applications across areas like content creation, gaming, and robot learning.
