You can run and play several publicly available world models on lower end graphics cards today, and that's with "academic" code: crude, unoptimized, written just to accomplish the science. Here's one: https://diamond-wm.github.io/ https://diamond-wm.github.io/ There are lots of others. From their paper: "Our model was trained in 12 days on an RTX 4090, and can be played at ~10 FPS on an RTX 3090." This is incredibly accessible, and "this is the worst it will ever look". There are so many low hanging fruit optimizations, and that's without even considering a different model architecture. Here's someone's world model side project from over two years ago that you can play in your browser: https://madebyoll.in/posts/game_emulation_via_dnn/demo/ https://madebyoll.in/posts/game_emulation_via_dnn/demo/ This stuff will be everywhere soon, and you'll be running it on consumer hardware.
