Alibaba Cloud launches HappyOyster 1.0, a world you can talk to

Alibaba Cloud just dropped HappyOyster 1.0, a model that builds a full interactive digital world from a single sentence. It uses a native multimodal setup to take your voice or text and turn it into a live scene that changes as you talk, instead of the old 'type, wait, watch' routine. You can either direct your own story on the fly or jump into the world to explore—run, fly, fight monsters, or ride a horse. The beta started on April 16, and until July 17, the official site will hand out free tokens to play around.
