Astra

Method overview: Astra generates future video chunk by chunk from an image, actions, and optional memory.

Wan2.1-1.3B interactive world with camera actions. Official garden_1 Sekai demo is runner-verified: 832×480, 97 frames, 20 fps. Apache-2.0 bases.

Astra is an interactive world model on a Wan2.1 backbone: one image plus camera actions roll out navigable world video. WorldFoundry vendors the infer-only runtime under worldfoundry/synthesis/visual_generation/kling/astra_runtime and exposes it as AstraPipeline. Studio defaults mirror the official Wan2.1-backed Sekai image rollout.

The official paper is Astra: General Interactive World Model with Autoregressive Denoising (ICLR 2026, arXiv 2512.08931). Project: eternalevan.github.io/Astra-project. Code: EternalEvan/Astra. Weights: EvanEternal/Astra (mirror KwaiVGI/Astra) plus Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B. Recorded license on those bases: apache-2.0. Publishing institution is not recorded here.

Runner parity is verified: the official garden_1 Sekai demo ran through the in-tree Studio/API path with forward_left camera control and emitted 97 frames at 832×480, 20 fps.
