On November 13, World Labs, a company established by Fei - Fei Li, who is known as the "Mother of AI" and is also a professor at Stanford University, officially rolled out its inaugural commercial product, Marble.

Constructed on a multimodal world model, this product is officially touted as the "cornerstone for building the future of spatial intelligence." Users have the ability to create high - fidelity, persistently storable 3D virtual environments using just a single image, a short video clip, or a textual description.

In comparison to the preview version released two months prior, the official version now offers support for large - scale multimodal inputs. Moreover, it has launched the MarbleLabs creative hub, which provides both freemium and paid subscription services. The paid plans are categorized into four tiers:

• The free version permits 4 generations per month and only supports text and image inputs.
• The standard version is priced at $20 per month and can handle multi - image and video inputs, along with advanced editing features.
• The professional version costs $35 per month. In addition to the features of the standard version, it includes scene expansion capabilities and commercial usage rights.
• The flagship version is priced at $95 per month. It offers 75 generations per month and full access to all features.

From a technological perspective, Marble utilizes Gaussian splatting rendering techniques. These techniques simulate the optical properties of objects by using millions of tiny particles, enabling the generation of a wide variety of 3D scenes. It also supports immersive experiences on VR devices like Vision Pro and Quest 3.

The product has opened up its developer ecosystem. This allows the generated 3D assets to be seamlessly integrated into workflows such as game development and film special effects.

Founded in 2024, World Labs managed to secure $230 million in financing within a short span. As a result, it achieved a valuation of over $1 billion. Among its investors are tech giants such as NVIDIA NVentures and AMD Ventures.
