The 2026 Meitu Image Festival began on June 17, 2026. RoboNeo, a brand under Meitu, introduced a 'daily-update AI short drama team' solution designed to enable rapid, frequent short drama production using AI. The announcement emphasizes the capability for daily content refresh. No technical specifics or further product details were provided in the brief article.
Alibaba Cloud has released HappyOyster 1.0, an open world model that generates complete, interactive digital worlds from a single sentence. The model learns physical state transitions, maintains long-range consistency, and supports multimodal input with real-time audiovisual generation. Unlike traditional one-shot rendering, it continuously responds to user instructions during generation. Two modes are offered: real-time directing, where users can pause and rewrite storylines, and world adventure, where users control characters with keyboard input to explore, fight, and traverse diverse environments. The product opened internal testing on April 16, 2025, and provides daily free experience points until July 17, 2025.
Alibaba released HappyOyster 1.0, a world model that learns state transition dynamics from natural videos to generate interactive digital worlds from text or image prompts, ensuring long-range consistency. It features World Exploration mode with physical controls like attack, jump, and vehicle driving, and Real-time Director mode offering pause, backtrack, and branching narrative. The model targets gaming, virtual companionship, interactive short dramas, and tourism. Alibaba is collaborating with Nanjing University to create the first benchmark for world model evaluation. The product is available for registration on its official website, with full API access planned for the near future.
JD's Aidol Creation Camp has released an upgraded pocket AI personal trainer device for fitness. The device offers real-time AI-powered error correction, voice guidance, and motion analysis during workouts. It records progress and provides feedback after each training session. The product is designed to deliver a guided fitness experience without a human personal trainer.
World model startup Physis (逆矩阵科技) has closed a seed++ funding round surpassing $100 million, led by Matrix Partners China, 5Y Capital, and光合创投, with strategic investment from Ant Group and continued support from existing investors Gaocheng Capital and Yan Yuan Capital. The company simultaneously released Physis-v0.1, a general world foundation model that aims to serve embodied intelligence, industrial simulation, game physics, and scientific prediction through one pre-training run, focusing on physical correctness, long-range consistency, causal action, and generalization. Physis states the window for a major leap in world base model capabilities has compressed to 18 months, and plans a flagship model by end of 2026 with open-source slices and technical reports. The team, founded by Peking University scholars Chen Boyuan and Ji Jiaming, combines young researchers and experienced engineers in a flat, AI-native organization, and argues that scaling in a "physical latent space"—not pixel space—is key to unlocking a scaling law distinct from language models.
The Qwen team released Qwen-RobotSuite, a suite of three independent embodied AI foundation models for robotics. Qwen-RobotManip is a Vision-Language-Action model based on Qwen3.5-4B that aligns heterogeneous manipulation data into a unified 80-dimensional action vector, achieving 1st place on RoboChallenge Table30-v1 and strong cross-embodiment transfer. Qwen-RobotWorld is a language-conditioned video world model using a 60-layer dual-stream MMDiT and a frozen Qwen2.5-VL encoder, ranking 1st overall on EWMBench and DreamGen Bench. Qwen-RobotNav is a scalable navigation model built on Qwen3-VL with a parameterized observation interface, reaching 76.5% success rate on VLN-CE RxR and enabling agentic planning. RobotManip and RobotNav have public GitHub repositories; RobotWorld is presented as a research paper.
