MoCore Releases MoWorld: First Full-Stack Domestic NPU Real-Time Interactive World Model, 50FPS with 70% Cost Reduction

In May 2025, MoCore Technology, in collaboration with the team of Academician Pan Yunhe from Zhejiang University and Huawei, released MoWorld—the world's first real-time interactive world model (Flash World Model) fully based on domestic NPUs. The model achieves up to 50FPS real-time inference on Huawei Ascend NPU platforms, reducing inference costs by 70% compared to GPU solutions of similar scale, and for the first time establishes a closed-loop domestic computing power chain from data, training, distillation to inference deployment.

Core Breakthroughs: Real-Time Performance and Low Cost

• Real-Time Interaction: MoWorld supports 6-DOF camera control. Users can freely roam in the generated world using W/A/S/D and mouse, with frame rates exceeding 50FPS, achieving cinematic-level smoothness.
• Cost Advantage: Through full-stack NPU optimization, inference costs are only 30% of those of GPU solutions of similar scale (i.e., a 70% reduction), significantly lowering deployment barriers.
• Full-Stack Localization: The model is trained and inferred on Huawei Ascend 910C CloudMatrix384 NPU, without relying on NVIDIA GPUs.

Technical Architecture: Three-Stage Optimization of Data, Training, and Inference

• Data Engine: Based on years of 3D/4D modeling accumulation, a scalable data production and governance system is built. Multi-dimensional screening such as geometric consistency and trajectory accuracy provides high-quality training data.
• Training and Distillation: Ultra-dense attention parallelism and long-sequence token parallelism are introduced to support training on ultra-long videos of up to 2000 frames. During distillation, inference is compressed to 4 steps, and an innovative skip teacher trajectory sampling initialization reduces distillation costs.
• Inference Optimization: Through pipeline execution, hierarchical sequence parallelism, and dynamic mixed-precision quantization, the 14B-parameter MoE model achieves 50FPS real-time inference on NPU.

Application Scenarios and Industry Impact

• Gaming and Entertainment: Supports resolutions above 1080P, allowing users to freely explore natural landscapes, anime-style scenes, and more.
• Embodied Intelligence and Autonomous Driving: Provides a low-cost, high-fidelity digital training ground for virtual training and validation.
• Film and Video Production: Supports director-level camera movements and real-time preview, reducing rendering cycles.
• Digital Twins and 3D Reconstruction: Generated videos exhibit high geometric consistency and can be directly used for indoor scene 3D reconstruction.

Funding and Industry Significance

MoCore Technology recently completed a hundred-million-dollar funding round, with investors including national strategic reserve capital, Middle Eastern dollar institutions, top-tier market-oriented funds, and over a dozen industrial capital firms. It had previously received investments from Huawei Hubble and Lenovo's affiliated funds. The release of MoWorld marks the transition of world models from the lab to industrial applications, with domestic computing power for the first time supporting real-time interactive world models, providing a viable path that balances performance and efficiency for the industry.
