Atlas World Model by World Labs: Generate & Reconstruct 3D Worlds from Text, Images and Video

Atlas is World Labs' omni world model for spatial intelligence, announced September 1, 2026: one model that turns prompts, photos and clips into 3D worlds and camera-controlled video at up to 1440p. This site tracks what it does, how to get access, what the API costs, and how it compares to Marble and other world models.

What the Atlas world model does

Four capabilities World Labs highlights for Atlas. Details and sources on the What Is Atlas page.

Camera-controlled video generation

Up to 1440p and up to one minute of video where the camera path is an explicit input, not a prompt guess.

3D reconstruction from a few photos

Rebuild a scene as point clouds and Gaussian splats from as few as two or three photos, up to 100+ views.

360° panoramas and worlds

Turn text or a single image into a full panorama and a navigable world you can export.

Real-to-sim for robotics

World Labs captured rooms with a phone video and simulated robots inside the reconstruction.

Interactive 3D sample — coming soon

This slot will hold a Marble-generated Gaussian splat you can orbit in the browser. Until then, drag any .ply or .spz file into the splat viewer.

Atlas vs Marble at a glance

Call a World Labs world model from code

The Marble World API is live today. When Atlas opens, the same request shape will route to Atlas through this site's API. Details on the Atlas World Model API page.

Atlas World Model FAQ

What is the Atlas world model?

Atlas is the omni world model announced by World Labs on September 1, 2026. It is a multimodal autoregressive diffusion transformer that generates camera-controlled video up to 1440p and reconstructs 3D scenes as point clouds and Gaussian splats from a few photos.

Is Atlas the same as Marble?

No. Marble is World Labs' shipping product and API for generating 3D worlds; Atlas is the newer model. This site compares them in detail on the Atlas vs Marble page.

Can I use Atlas World Model today?

As of September 3, 2026 Atlas is in early access for select partners through a request form; no price or general-availability date has been disclosed. Join the waitlist here to be notified when access widens, and use the Marble World API meanwhile.

Is there an Atlas API?

Not publicly yet. The Marble World API is live, and this site is built so that the same request format will route to Atlas when World Labs opens it up.

What does the World Labs API cost?

The World API sells credits at $1 for 1,250 credits (minimum $5). A Marble 1.1 world costs 1,500 credits, about $1.20, and PLY splat export is free, as of September 3, 2026. Details on the pricing page.

What formats can I export?

Marble worlds can be exported as Gaussian splats (.ply/.spz) and meshes, which you can preview free in the splat viewer on this site and import into Unity, Unreal or Blender.

Is this the official World Labs site?

No. atlasworldmodel.com is an independent resource and is not affiliated with World Labs. Atlas, Marble and World Labs are trademarks of their respective owners.

How is Atlas different from Genie 3 or Sora?

Genie 3 focuses on interactive playable environments and Sora on video generation, while Atlas targets 3D world reconstruction and generation with explicit camera control. See the comparison hub for side-by-side tables.
