I'm excited to announce that the Morpheus AI team is joining Roblox!
Over the past two years, I’ve focused on developing the foundational architectures behind modern video world models, including Self Forcing and AR-DiT. This work unlocked something unprecedented: the ability to move beyond offline, pre-rendered AI video generation and instead simulate interactive worlds in real time. Realizing the massive potential of this technology is what drove me to found Morpheus in August 2025. In the months since, our incredible team has pushed those boundaries further than we ever thought possible.
We've always believed video world models will reshape how games are created. Roblox Reality is an ambitious bet on that exact future, and it lines up perfectly with what we set out to do: bridging the gap between deterministic game engines and generative world models. Joining Roblox means our technology will help power experiences that reach millions of players every day.
To our team, to @a16z and other investors, and to the advisors, partners, and supporters who believed in this from the very beginning — thank you.
We're just getting started. Excited to build this at scale.

Positive users praise Roblox acquiring Morpheus AI to advance real-time video world models as ideal for UGC, while negative users reject the move as adding unwanted AI slop.
