Waypoint-1.5 is a real-time video world model from Overworld that generates interactive 3D environments locally on consumer GPUs. It introduces two tiers: a 720p model for high-end desktop GPUs (RTX 3090–5090) at up to 60 FPS, and a 360p model for broader hardware including gaming laptops and soon Apple Silicon Macs. Trained on nearly 100x more data than its predecessor, it improves visual coherence and motion consistency. The model can be run locally via the Overworld Biome runtime or tried instantly in-browser via Overworld Stream. The project emphasizes real-time responsiveness and local accessibility over datacenter-scale compute.
