Oasis is an interactive AI experience that turns Minecraft into a nightmarish hallucination

Cupertino-based startup Etched has launched Oasis, an AI experiment that offers a low-definition, surreal interpretation of Minecraft, described as a "hallucinated clone" where each frame is generated based on player input. Currently, it operates on Nvidia's H100 GPUs at 360p and 20 frames per second, with plans to enhance graphics to 4K resolution using advanced hardware. The platform can support up to ten users per H100 with the introduction of Sohu, a specialized AI ASIC technology. Oasis was trained on a dataset of recorded Minecraft gameplay and does not rely on traditional game engines or code. Etched is also exploring AI-generated interactive video content, aiming for large, low-latency models for various sectors. Oasis is intended as a demonstration of real-time AI content generation capabilities, operating legally by drawing inspiration from open-source projects like Minetest.

Microsoft has released a new preview build of Windows 11, build 26120.2213, focusing on bug fixes related to the transition to version 24H2.

Known issues still being addressed include complications with the new gamepad keyboard layout and a display corruption issue for users with multiple monitors.
