› In mid-October 2026, fal.ai launched a brand new category: real-time world model endpoints that you navigate interactively with keyboard keys, much like walking through a video game.
› On October 20, I ran three of them live: LingBot World 2 from Robbyant (Ant Group), Abot World 0 from Alibaba, and MiniMax H3 Max Reference Director.
› The first two work as advertised: navigating a 40-second mountain scene cost me roughly eight cents, though generating without an initial reference image quickly melted down into visual artifacts.
› For regular video clips, traditional generators like the ones in my FLUX 3 Max hub remain much more practical.
