Founders
Overworld is an AI research and development studio building real-time, local-first diffusion world models for interactive gaming, simulation, and creative tools. Founded in 2025 and formerly known as Wayfarer Labs, the company restructured diffusion AI into a persistent, stateful system that incrementally updates virtual environments frame-by-frame in response to user input. Its flagship Waypoint platform runs on consumer hardware at 30 to 60 FPS, enabling fully interactive AI-generated worlds without reliance on cloud infrastructure. Overworld is backed by Kindred Ventures, Amplify.LA, and Garage Capital, and has been featured at GDC and NVIDIA GTC as a leading innovator in the world model space.
