Visko and Google Cloud deployed a live inference pipeline combining video generation, super-resolution and synchronized audio on one Cloud TPU slice, reaching production handover in 30 days. The case highlights the real-time serving constraints of interactive world models.

What: - Orbis is Visko's continuously streaming world model, steered by prompts while video plays.
How: - Visko and Google Cloud deployed video generation, super-resolution upscaling, and synchronized audio on one Cloud TPU slice; end-to-end rendering reached 1.07× playback speed.
Why it matters: - Meeting the playback clock matters for interactive AI systems: each video and audio chunk must finish before the viewer finishes the prior one.

The deployed pipeline generates and upscales video while synchronizing audio. Sketched from the article's own text.
