# GTA world model

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Makes video from one start image while you hold keys, frame after frame, streamed to a browser. Weights and inference code for a world model trained on GTA5 material, for researchers and ML engineers.

GTA world model is a kit in the Research category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

Made by lucidml

## About

### What it is

This is an interactive world model that makes video from a single starting image. You hold keys as you play, and the model produces the footage that follows, frame after frame, streamed to a browser. The author, lucidml, designed the architecture, called Summaryformer, and trained it from scratch. This checkpoint learned from GG800, an 800-hour collection of GTA5 material.

### Who it suits

It suits researchers who study video generation, world models or long memory in transformers, and engineers who want weights together with a working streaming runtime. Curious players can try the online demo the card links.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Research | Video and world model researchers | Study the Summaryformer memory design | Read how older frames are kept only as short summaries |
| Software | Machine learning engineers | Run the weights with the included runtime | Look at the sampler and the streaming server |
| Education | Students of transformers | Learn how attention can read summaries | Compare 6528 keys in memory against 26208 without summaries |
| Entertainment | Game and interactive media teams | Watch a generated scene respond to keys | See how a model handles continuous play |

If you need training code, skip it, because the repository holds none.

### Where to use it

The model is used in these places.

- A web browser: the card links an online demo where you give a start image and hold keys.
- The Hugging Face model page: read the card and fetch the files from there.
- Python on Windows, macOS or Linux: download the weights and runtime to your own computer.

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Play a generated scene | Anyone curious | Video that follows the keys you hold |
| Study the memory design | Researchers | A written account of how frames are stored and read |
| Run the weights yourself | Engineers | The weights plus the model, sampler and streaming server code |

### How to set it up

You need a few things first.

- Python and pip
- A terminal on Windows, macOS or Linux
- Hardware: the card text available here names no GPU or memory need

These are Hugging Face's steps for getting the files.

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package with pip.
2. Download the model's files with the hf command.
3. Follow the run steps in the model card on its Hugging Face page.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download lucidml/gta
```

### How to use it

In the online demo, give the model one starting image and hold keys while it makes the next frames. A local copy holds the model, its memory, the sampler and a streaming server, which sends frames to a browser as you play. The card text available here is cut off before the run steps, so check the model page for the exact commands.

### Example

You start with one image of a scene and begin holding keys. The model builds the footage that follows, and your browser plays it as it arrives. Older frames reach the model only as short summaries, which keeps its memory small.

### For newcomers and experts

An interactive world model makes video that responds to what you do. Here you give one starting picture, hold keys, and watch the video appear as it is made. The first small thing to try is the online demo the card links.

Each frame is stored as a record. It holds 1008 raw tokens at 384x672, followed by 96 summary tokens that the same 28 blocks write in the same pass, with no separate summarizer. A frame attends to itself, the last 2 frames in full, older frames inside the window as summaries only, and the start image in full. The trade-off is that old frames survive only as outlines. The trained window is 24 frames and the server default is 16.

You give the model one start image → You hold keys while you play → The model generates each next frame → The server streams the frames to a browser

### Good to know

The memory numbers below come from the card.

Keys held in the memory buffer

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| With summaries | 6528 keys |
| Every frame at full size | 26208 keys |

- Contents: the repository holds the weights and the inference runtime, with no training code.
- Training data: this checkpoint learned from one dataset, GG800.
- License: apache-2.0, as the record states.
- Cost to run: none named in the text available here. The source lists no API key, account or paid service.
- Data it reaches: it downloads files from Hugging Face, and the streaming server sends frames to a browser. The source does not say what the online demo collects.
- Not for: training a new model, since no training code is included.
