On the morning of September 17th, World Labs, a startup helmed by Stanford University professor Li Feifei, unveiled its latest breakthrough, Marble.

The official account of World Labs proudly declared, "Effortlessly create expansive, enduring 3D worlds from a single image, surpassing all previous benchmarks."

Li Feifei also took to social media to express her exhilaration over the monumental leap in 3D world generation: "We've crafted a vast, coherent, and perpetually existing realm!"

As per the official blog, the Marble model is capable of constructing a 3D world based on provided image or textual cues. This world transcends temporal boundaries, free from distortions and inconsistencies. In comparison to prior iterations, it boasts a larger scale, a more eclectic mix of styles, and sharper 3D geometric contours.

A restricted Beta preview of the Marble model will also be made available on Marble.worldlabs.ai, granting users the ability to peruse and create 3D worlds.

For visual creators, the ability to traverse and engage within a seamless 3D environment is a pivotal feature of visual models.

The 3D worlds generated by Marble facilitate effortless viewpoint navigation within users' browsers at no cost. This surpasses the limited 3D experiences offered by depth maps or point clouds, providing a richer tapestry of geometric intricacies. It enables the creation of more comprehensive 3D worlds and grants users access to a wealth of information about the visible content in the input view.

World Labs is dedicated to crafting immersive 3D environments, rather than concentrating on isolated or central figures, such as humans or animals.

One of the most thrilling facets of Marble's generative AI lies in its capacity to freely iterate on aesthetics and ambiance during the creative process. The model can seamlessly convert various input styles into 3D forms, spanning from flat-colored cartoons to realistic, detail-laden images, empowering users to explore and iterate at will.

World Labs aspires to unlock a plethora of spatial possibilities for all. Users can amalgamate the spaces they generate to forge larger environments. The model ensures stylistic harmony and geometric consistency, facilitating navigation, exploration, and the envisioning of grander scenes.

When engaging with netizens on social media, Li Feifei emphasized that the worlds generated by the model are permanent, setting Marble apart from Google's generative model, Genie.

Users can access the generated worlds at their convenience, create links, and save them at will.

Most notably, it is entirely free of charge.
