Come talk about splats 👀 and world models with me today, we @reactorworld are at the @AWSstartups booth at the AWS Summit in LA ✨

[Alberto @taiuti]

Our thesis has always been: give talented people the tools, and best DX, and get out of the way.

We were right

[reactor @reactorworld]

Watch our CEO and cofounder @taiuti tell the Reactor story, and what we’re doing with world models in this great chat with @nikunj

[Bryce Schmidtchen @_bschmidtchen]

Make sure to come meet the team @reactorworld this Friday at CVPR @CVPR

Let's chat World Models, Real Time Video, and more!

real time and multi shot, try it out, it’s crazy!

someone made a fork of opencode that routes through the unsecured ai endpoints from chipotle

Amazing team, so happy to be helping here.

Today Reactor is coming out of stealth. We’ve raised $59M in Seed and Series A funding, led by @lightspeedvp, with participation from @AmplifyPartners, @wndrco, @Sky9Capital, and @FPVventures.

Reactor is the platform for building in the World Model era: the infrastructure that lets developers build with them at global scale for the first time. Stream from a frontier World Model to your app, in real time, all in under 10 lines of code.

World Models represent the next major shift in AI: pixels, audio and actions are generated on the fly, in real-time, in response to user inputs, and to the environment. Every time computing has made a shift from passive to interactive, entire industries appeared that didn't exist before. We're standing in front of such moment again.

Over the last 6 months, we’ve assembled an all-star team with alumni from Apple, Meta, Google, Luma AI, Netflix, and Replicate. We're already partnering with some of the biggest names and labs in the world, and hundreds of developers are already building on Reactor.

The World Model era starts now.

[Sky9 Capital @Sky9Capital]

We are thrilled to back the incredible team at @reactorworld on their mission to redefine the infrastructure of World Model.

Huge congratulations to @taiuti and the team!

Oh shit. New Yegge post just dropped.

[Steve Yegge @Steve_Yegge]

I feel like nobody has kicked any really big beehives today. So here goes.

It’s time to unveil what we’ve been working on: today, @reactorworld comes out of stealth with $59M to power the World Model era.

And we’re just getting started.

[Lightspeed @lightspeedvp]

AI has gone from generating words to generating worlds.

@reactorworld is a real-time generative video platform built for developers. Their infrastructure layer enables users to work with scaling and production in mind. Co-founders @taiuti and @_bschmidtchen previously worked as technical leads on the Apple Vision Pro. Now, they're bringing their world model expertise to Reactor.

We’re thrilled to announce that we led their $59M Series A as they emerge from stealth, and we can’t wait to see how they continue building.

We believe world models have the potential to be the next wave of AI, as they let people step into and experience their creations.

Reactor is working to fortify the software foundation to keep up.

We're hosting an event at CVPR. If you're excited about the future of world models and real-time video, I'd highly recommend it.

The future is arriving faster than you think

[Sai Tiger Raina @raina_sai]

Took 2 of my nephew's drawings and made them into worlds he can walk inside.
Now he says, "Make it rain," and the sky cracks open.

1 hour at the airport, with @reactorworld
This is what AI is actually for.

[ijbaird @ij_baird]

With Claude eating dirt tonight, I've been forced to use codex, and it ain't that bad.

[Ahmed Ahres @Boudatw]

absolutely love this

[Bryce Schmidtchen @_bschmidtchen]

try Genie without paying $200 :)

This is incredible
