A world model you steer with text and camera controls, with a design that even runs on a single RTX 4090 🎮 Hy-Nomas: Towards Free-form Interactive World Generation An 8B autoregressive video world model from a Tencent team. One model handles free-form text, continuous camera control, and multi-turn memory. Three highlights: 🧠 Action-aware causal attention Each segment's text is split into a description that later segments can see and actions confined to their own time window. The aim is to curb action-order errors and repeated actions across segments. ⚡ 4-step distillation and light inference Sampling drops from 100 to 4 function evaluations, combined with INT8 and sparse attention. A 100-second video (1280x704, 24 FPS) is generated at a peak of 20.53 GiB on an RTX 4090. 📊 Strong lead on text control In human evaluation of prompt following, it wins 75.0% and loses 8.3% against LingBot-World v2. Spatial memory, however, still trails Genie 3. A good read for both the design and evaluation of interactive world generation. #WorldModels# #VideoGeneration#

“No Más.” — Roberto Durán This was the week it felt like investors finally threw in the white towel on the AI trade. The S&P 500 was down just 2.7% for the week, but it felt far worse. The real damage wasn't in the index. It was in the hedge fund world, where what looked like a capitulation moment triggered a cascade of forced selling across hedge funds, leveraged ETFs, and CTAs. The Nasdaq 100 (NDX/QQQ) finished down 5% for the week, with more than 100% of that decline occurring in just two hours on Thursday, between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. New York time. The magnitude of the deleveraging was extraordinary. Volatility spiked, put-call ratios reached extremes, trading volumes exploded, and hedge funds cut exposure at a historic pace. Hedge fund closure rumors went viral. And I was buying into the panic. In this week's video, I explain why I would try and catch a falling knife and why I believe we're witnessing a market structure deleveraging event rather than a breakdown in AI fundamentals or the economy. I go through the data behind the forced selling, the factor signals I'm watching for exhaustion, and why the midterm results may have actually reduced the risk of an AI bubble. I also explore the changing market structure, the emerging importance of factor rotations, and why declining liquidity headwinds could be a significant positive for AI, Bitcoin, and gold. The AI revolution is a long-duration investment opportunity being traded in an increasingly short-duration market. Investing is becoming a counterpuncher's game. The market structure has changed forever and hedge fund leverage has forever peaked. Watch the full weekly update:
