Hey HN,

We're Wayfarer Labs and we're about to transform into OverWorld.

We simulate anything on anything. We're training open source/science world models that run on consumer hardware/GPUs. From mobile phones to gaming PCs, we want to create state-of-the-art AI models that perform at blazing speeds. Interactive experiences that arent just wasd but full keyboard and mouse at 60 FPS on consumer GPUs.

Before our first public models are finished cooking and our brand is fully transformed, we wanted to give an opportunity to check out retrospectives of our journey in 2025 and where we are at today in 2026. We have a whole set of blog posts with technical deep dives and retrospectives. Our latest is here: https://wayfarerlabs.ai/blog/scaling-up-data-collection where we discuss the challenges of data collection for the models we are about to release in a few weeks.

We like sharing! We want to share not just the successes during the process of getting these models smaller, faster and cooler but also the trials and tribulations along the way.

You can see some of the latest clips from our models here: https://x.com/wayfarerlabs/status/2007208819391451192?s=20

If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment, @ us on Twitter (still just @wayfarerlabs) or join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/Knphk6sQmD (OWL/Wayfarer) or here: https://discord.gg/qcuxTHjz7S

You can join the waitlist for our private beta here: https://t.co/I3gw2NsoG3

Have a great weekend and we wish everyone a great 2026!

-The OverWorld Team
