See you all in 23 minutes....

20 years ago, we shipped the public version of Roblox. Erik and I never imagined it would grow into what it is today. We've got some fun stuff coming this month. But today, we just want to say thank you to Robloxians around the world. -Builderman

We’re on the verge of interactive, real-time, photorealistic video generation with what are called World Models. These require a fair amount of expensive compute, but costs will come down over time. Today, these interactions are essentially real-time dreams. They lack the persistence and shared logic that turns a video into a multiplayer game. Or concert. Or classroom. Or the holodeck. We believe the ultimate architecture for gaming (and the holodeck) is Roblox Reality. It’s a hybrid architecture that marries the structured data and logic of the Roblox Engine and Roblox Cloud with the generative power of Video World Models. The Roblox Engine provides the underlying synchronized ground truth—the score, physics, multiplayer sync, etc.—while our video model acts as a Super Upsampler to layer on photorealistic detail. We believe this will ultimately remove barriers to high-fidelity creation, allowing a team of three people to build a narrative-driven, photorealistic masterpiece in a single week. This is an early look at turning solitary AI dreams into a social, playable reality. about.roblox.com/newsroom/20…
