Oasis is part of an emerging category of generative AI models called “world models.” Many of these models can simulate games — but few at frame rates as high as Oasis.

I tried the demo out of curiosity, and I’d say it has a ways to go before it’s a genuinely fun experience. The resolution is quite low, and Oasis tends to quickly “forget” the level layout — I’d turn my character around only to see a rearranged landscape.
