Frequently asked questions
What is Atlas World Model?
Atlas is a world model from World Labs, the spatial-intelligence company co-founded by Fei-Fei Li, built to generate and reconstruct 3D worlds and camera-controllable video from text, images and video.
Who is World Labs?
World Labs is the AI company founded in 2023 by Fei-Fei Li, Justin Johnson, Christoph Lassner and Ben Mildenhall. It has raised about $1.23 billion and ships Marble, the World API and the Atlas world model. Searches for worldlab or worldlabs refer to the same company; see the World Labs company page on this site.
How do I get access to Atlas?
Atlas is currently limited to early-access partners. Request access through World Labs directly, and follow this site’s changelog or RSS feed to hear when access widens. Meanwhile, the tools on this site generate worlds on the Marble World API.
Is there a public Atlas API?
Not yet. The Marble World API is public today; this site’s generator runs on it behind a provider layer, so the same request could route to Atlas if World Labs opens an API.
What is the difference between Atlas and Marble?
Marble is World Labs’ shipping 3D world generator with a public API and editor; Atlas is the newer model positioned around video generation with camera control and reconstruction. See the full Atlas vs Marble comparison.
How much does the World Labs API cost?
Marble uses a credit system where roughly $1 buys a fixed number of credits, with per-world and per-export prices. The pricing page lists current figures with sources and dates.
What can I export from a generated world?
From the Marble World API today: Gaussian splats (.ply, .spz), a collider mesh, a paid high-quality GLB mesh and the panorama image; the API does not export video. The tools on this site currently deliver the world in an in-browser viewer and as an .spz download; PLY and GLB exports are not in the tool yet. Open splats free in the online viewer on this site.
Can Atlas generate video?
Camera-controlled video generation is one of Atlas’ headline capabilities according to World Labs; exact resolution and duration limits are documented on the What Is Atlas page with sources.
Is atlasworldmodel.com official?
No. This is an independent guide and is not affiliated with or endorsed by World Labs.
