This is game engine 2.0. Some day, all the complexity of UE5 will be absorbed by a data-driven blob of attention weights. Those weights take as input game controller commands and directly animate a spacetime chunk of pixels. Agrim and I were close friends and coauthors back at Stanford Vision Lab. So great to see him at the frontier of such cool research! Congrats!
How People Are Using AI For Developing Games
Builders are vibe-coding full prototypes—multiplayer loops, chatty NPCs with memory, shaders—by prompting, letting AI write servers, generate art, and live-debug so solo devs (and kids) ship in hours, not weeks. In 2025, “world models” can spin text/images into interactive 3D spaces, hinting at a game-engine-as-model future. Users gush about speed and creativity; experts celebrate the trajectory but flag physics gaps, bias, and maintainability—so AI is the turbo for prototyping while human design/testing harden production.
