Digital twins usually start from CAD drawings and laser scans, which puts them out of reach for most non-profits. Is a public video tour enough to start one?
Frames of a public news tour of a food bank become Gaussian-splat captures through a world model, a scripted Blender model fills in the parts the video never showed, and OpenUSD ties both to operations data served from a serverless AWS backend. The twin runs in the browser and in NVIDIA Omniverse on EC2 GPUs. Built in seven days for about $1.54 of compute, with a reference architecture mapped to AWS, Azure and Google Cloud and real sensors priced at about $12 a month to run.

Factory planning ideas like MRP, routings and OEE are hard to show with plant data nobody can share. A famous kitchen makes them visible to anyone.
A 3D twin of The French Laundry's three-star kitchen running a full tasting-menu service. Covers are the build plan, 53 recipes are bills of materials and routings, and a discrete-event simulation plays out tickets, stations and bottlenecks minute by minute. Parallel coding agents built the product, data, simulation and 3D layers.
World modelsLive · paper on arXiv
AI world models train on adult-quality data from day one. Infants start with blurry, muffled input and still learn fast. What does that staging buy a model?
One world model per sense (vision, hearing, touch, body position), each fed through an age-tuned filter and grown as it trains, then fused. The public site lets parents see and hear like a baby of any age; researchers get the findings, papers and code.
On-device AIv1.1 released
A family's lab results sit in PDFs and paper scans from different clinics, and seeing a trend usually means handing health data to someone's cloud.
An Android app that reads reports with on-device OCR, parses biomarkers with rules backed by a small local language model, and has a person confirm every value before it is saved. The release build has no internet permission at all.
In-browser AIIn progress
Prospective PhD students choose advisors from rankings and cold emails rather than research fit.
Drop in a CV or paper and a small language model running in the browser on WebGPU extracts research interests; embeddings then rank faculty across the top 100 universities. Nothing leaves the device. A scheduled pipeline is rebuilding the faculty index from open scholarly data.

“Digital twin” means something different in every meeting. A shared, cited history gives teams a common vocabulary.
An open dataset of milestones from andon lights and Apollo's simulators to AI world models and agentic twins, with a walkable 3D factory shown across six eras and research trends from OpenAlex. MIT licensed for courses and talks.

Most AI-and-jobs estimates count tech jobs. The larger exposure sits in everyday tasks across the whole economy.
Adapts the Iceberg Index method to India: generative-AI exposure scores mapped to national occupation codes and weighted by 2023–24 labor survey data, district by district, with an interactive dashboard and a technical paper.
