FlashDreams is a high-performance inference and serving library for interactive autoregressive video and world models. It began as the optimized runtime behind the NVIDIA OmniDreams closed-loop demo for GTC 2026 and has grown into a general platform for real-time world-model applications across gaming, autonomous vehicles, robotics, simulated or virtual environments, and more.
The complete setup is in our quick-start guide.
Quick-start to our interactive driving demo is here.
Checkout our game-like crazy-robotaxi demo here.
Make demos using world-models with our Demo API.
Implement world-models with our Inferencing API.
For how to contribute, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
New integrations, bug reports, feature requests, performance tuning, and
documentation edits are all welcome.
