Robbyant Open-Sources LingBot-World, a World Model for Millisecond-Level Real-Time Interaction

SHANGHAI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 29, 2026--

Robbyant, an embodied AI company within Ant Group, today announced the open-source release of LingBot-World, a world model that achieves industry-leading performance in video quality, dynamic fidelity, long-term consistency, and interactivity. Designed for embodied intelligence, autonomous driving, and game development, LingBot-World offers a high-fidelity, highly dynamic, and real-time controllable “digital sandbox” for simulation and training.

Addressing the common challenge in video generation known as “long-term drift”, where prolonged generation often leads to object deformation, detail collapse, subject disappearance, or scene structure breakdown, LingBot-World leverages multi-stage training and parallelized acceleration to achieve up to nearly 10 minutes of continuous, stable, and lossless video generation. This capability supports complex, multi-step tasks requiring extended temporal coherence.

In terms of interactivity, LingBot-World delivers a generation throughput of approximately 16 FPS and maintains end-to-end interaction latency under one second. Users can control characters and camera perspectives in real time via keyboard or mouse, with immediate visual feedback to their inputs. Additionally, users can trigger environmental changes and world events through text commands—for example, adjusting weather conditions, altering visual styles, or initiating specific scenarios—all while preserving consistent spatial relationships within the scene.

LingBot-World also demonstrates strong zero-shot generalization. With just a single real-world image (e.g., an urban street view) or a game screenshot as input, LingBot-World can generate an interactive video stream without requiring additional scene-specific training or data collection, significantly lowering deployment and operational costs across diverse environments.

To address the scarcity of high-quality interactive data for world model training, LingBot-World adopts a hybrid data acquisition strategy. It combines large-scale, carefully curated web videos covering diverse real-world scenes, with game-engine synthetic data, including Unreal Engine (UE) pipelines. By extracting clean, UI-free frames directly from the rendering layer while simultaneously logging precise action commands and camera poses, the model receives accurately aligned training signals that capture how actions drive environmental changes.

LingBot-World excels in long-sequence consistency, real-time responsiveness, and modeling the causal relationship between actions and environmental dynamics. This enables it to “imagine” the physical world in a digital space, providing AI agents with a cost-effective, high-fidelity environment for trial-and-error learning. Its support for diverse scene variations, such as lighting conditions or object placements, further boosts the real-world generalization of embodied AI algorithms.

Zhu Xing, CEO of Robbyant, said, “The release of LingBot-World is the third AI model in the LingBot series dedicated to embodied intelligence. This is an important extension of Ant Group’s artificial general intelligence (AGI) strategy from the digital realm to physical perception, and underscores our full-stack roadmap spanning foundational models, general-purpose applications, and physical-world interaction.”

During Robbyant’s “Evolution of Embodied AI Week” initiative, the company has already unveiled LingBot-Depth, a high-precision spatial perception model, and LingBot-VLA, a vision-language-action model designed to serve as a “universal brain” for real-world robotics.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Not even a point penalty for hindrance slowed Aryna Sabalenka's run to a fourth consecutive Australian Open final.

The top-ranked Sabalenka overpowered Elina Svitolina 6-2, 6-3 Thursday night to move within one victory of a third Australian Open title in four years.

The Belarusian will play the winner of the second semifinal between sixth-seeded Jessica Pegula and fifth-seeded Elena Rybakina, who won Wimbledon in 2022 and was runner-up in Australia to Sabalenka in 2023.

All four players reached the semifinals without dropping a set — in Australia for the first time in 56 years — and Sabalenka and Svitolina were each on 10-match winning streaks to start the season after titles in warmup events.

Sabalenka kept both of her streaks alive. She hit 19 winners and broke Svitolina's serve twice in the first set. She finished with 29 winners to 12 for her Ukrainian rival.

As has become customary for Ukrainians against players from Russia and Belarus, there was no handshakes at the net. There was also no group photo before the match.

Sabalenka is the third woman in the Open era to reach four consecutive singles finals at the Australian Open after Evonne Goolagong and Martina Hingis.

“It’s an incredible achievement but the job’s not done yet,” an emotional Sabalenka said in her on-court TV interview. “I've been watching her game, (Svitolina) was playing incredible. I felt like I had to step in and put as much pressure as I could back on her. I’m glad the level was there. I think I played great tennis.”

The only hiccup was the hindrance to start the fourth game. Hindrance is called for a distraction that prevents a player from making a shot, and can include an opponent's loud noise.

Umpire Louise Azemar Engzell deemed Sabalenka made a prolonged grunt after she shanked a forehand. The shot seemed to be going long but landed inside the baseline, giving Svitolina the chance to play on. That's when the umpire intervened.

Sabalenka asked for a video review but the point penalty was upheld when Azemar Engzell confirmed her decision that the grunt was more elongated than usual.

It didn't bother Sabalenka for long. She broke serve in that game and controlled most of the remainder of the match.

Svitolina's only service break was at the start of the second set. But Sabalenka rallied immediately and won the next five games to take the semifinal away.

After reaching her first semifinal in Australia and winning a title in a warmup tournament in New Zealand, Svitolina will return to the top 10 for the first time since she took a maternity break in 2022.

The Auckland title was her first foray back on tour after an early end to the 2025 season for a mental health break. She said the rest and time out prolonged her career.

“Definitely very, very happy with the two weeks here and in New Zealand, as well, winning,” she said. “Gutted to not make it through tonight but it’s very difficult when you’re playing the world No. 1, who is really on fire.”

Svitolina was playing her fourth semifinal at a major — 2019 and 2023 at Wimbledon and the 2019 U.S. Open — but again wasn't able to go to the championship match.

“It was really complicated for me today,” she said, “but, yeah, I just want to take positives from the past weeks, the beginning of the year, and just carry them through for the season.”
