Visko has launched Orbis, an early-access "live model" that generates video in real time and lets you redirect the scene while it is still rendering. Instead of submitting a prompt and waiting for a finished clip, you watch a continuous stream and change the prompt underneath it. Visko frames Orbis as a new category it calls a Live Model, and access is currently limited to a sign-in on the company's site.
What This Enables
For creators, the practical shift is steerable, continuous generation rather than one-shot clips. Visko's demos cover branching stories, voice-driven scenes, robot-training environments, and a freeform playground, and TestingCatalog reports Orbis produces 4K frames at 24 fps with sub-second latency between a prompt change and the visible result. If that holds up outside the demos, you could storyboard live: open a scene, narrate direction, and adjust pacing, camera, and subject on the fly the way you would coach a performer, then keep the takes you like.
Why It Matters for Creators
Orbis lands the same day as two other world-model launches we covered, World Labs Atlas and Runway Solaris. Together they mark a move away from render-and-wait text-to-video toward interactive systems that hold state, run continuously, and respond to input. For anyone building trailers, product spots, or game cinematics, that changes the loop from generate, review, regenerate into direct while it runs, which is much closer to how real production feels.
Key Details
Model: Visko Orbis 1.0, described by Visko as a real-time, interactive, long-video Live Model with persistent memory and physics-grounded scenes. The framing is in Visko's Live Models writeup and its technical paper.
Reported capabilities: 4K at 24 fps, sub-one-second latency, and continuity held across hour-long runs. Visko's own pages confirm real-time streaming, persistence, and interactivity but do not publish exact numbers, so treat the specifics as reported rather than official.
Availability: Early access behind a sign-in at visko.ai. No public API, weights, or pricing announced yet.
What to Do Next
Sign in to try the Orbis playground and test whether live steering fits your workflow before it reaches a paid tier. Because this is early access with third-party-reported specs, verify quality and latency on your own prompts rather than the launch demos, and watch for an API or pricing page that would make Orbis usable in production.
