Tencent Releases Hy-Nomas World Model as Open Download
Tencent is putting an interactive world model out as a free Apache 2.0 download that its own documentation says runs on a single consumer GPU, which moves explorable-world generation from hosted demos toward something developers can install and modify.
Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
Tencent has released Hy-Nomas, an 8-billion-parameter world model that generates explorable virtual worlds from input, with multi-turn camera and character instructions and WASD or arrow-key movement, outputting 720p video up to 60 seconds. It is open under Apache License 2.0, downloadable from Hugging Face, with code and instructions on GitHub. Tencent says int8 quantization and CPU offloading let it run on a GeForce RTX 4090. A browser demo requires an account.
The model takes instructions across multiple turns rather than one prompt. A user can direct the camera and move a character with the WASD or arrow keys, and the output is video at 720p rather than a 3D scene file.
Tencent lists int8 quantization and CPU offloading as the techniques that bring it within reach of a GeForce RTX 4090. The weights sit on Hugging Face under Apache 2.0, and the GitHub repository carries the code and operating instructions. A browser demo is also live, but it requires an account before it will run. The download is the point: nothing about the release depends on Tencent's servers.
