i built the 1st "world model game engine"

it makes games from scratch, all running locally on my Mac M1

- 30fps
- 40ms latency
- ⁠50 million parameters
- trained on 15 min of footage

made using only "synthetic" datasets

this is the first of its kind, & you can try it now

[Matt Shumer @mattshumer_]

The dataset is everything.

If all we had was ChatGPT, we could say, hmm “maybe hallucinations are just a bug”, and fantasize that they weren’t hard to fix.

If all we had was Gemini, we could say, hmm “maybe hallucinations are just a bug”.

If all we had was Mistral, we could say, hmm “maybe hallucinations are just a bug”.

If all we had was LLAMA, we could say, hmm “maybe hallucinations are just a bug”.

If all we had was Grok, we could say, hmm “maybe hallucinations are just a bug”.

Instead we need to wake up and realize that hallucinations are absolutely core to how LLMs work, and that we need new approaches based on different ideas.

Ten months ago, we launched the Vesuvius Challenge to solve the ancient problem of the Herculaneum Papyri, a library of scrolls that were flash-fried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Today we are overjoyed to announce that our crazy project has succeeded. After 2000 years, we can finally read the scrolls:
This image was produced by @Youssef_M_Nader, @LukeFarritor, and @JuliSchillij, who have now won the Vesuvius Challenge Grand Prize of $700,000. Congratulations!!

These fifteen columns come from the very end of the first scroll we have been able to read and contain new text from the ancient world that has never been seen before. The author – probably Epicurean philosopher Philodemus – writes here about music, food, and how to enjoy life's pleasures. In the closing section, he throws shade at unnamed ideological adversaries – perhaps the stoics? – who "have nothing to say about pleasure, either in general or in particular."

This year, the Vesuvius Challenge continues. The text that we revealed so far represents just 5% of one scroll.

In 2024, our goal is to from reading a few passages of text to entire scrolls, and we're announcing a new $100,000 grand prize for the first team that is able to read at least 90% of all four scrolls that we have scanned.

The scrolls stored in Naples that remain to be read represent more than 16 megabytes of ancient text. But the villa where the scrolls were found was only partially excavated, and scholars tell us that there may be thousands more scrolls underground. Our hope is that the success of the Vesuvius Challenge catalyzes the excavation of the villa, that the main library is discovered, and that whatever we find there rewrites history and inspires all of us.

It's been a great joy to work on this strange and amazing project. Thanks to Brent Seales for laying the foundation for this work over so many years, thanks to the friends and Twitter users whose donations powered our effort, and thanks to the many contestants whose contributions have made the Vesuvius Challenge successful!

@AzureSupport Yes I'm able to sign in into my Azure portal. Can I elaborate further in DMs so I can show some screenshots?

[Jelle @jel_vds]

@AzureSupport When trying to publish a profile in bot composer, it asks me to sign in although I'm already signed in. After signing in again, it asks me to sign in yet again and shows me some of my other work accounts. (1/2)

Wrapping up the ice dungeon tileset with some example scenes.

Can't believe I started this in January...jeesus 🤯
I did travel to South-America inbetween, but still...

So many iterations and groundwork for the next tilesets tho.
