Open challenges and product roadmaps attract a diverse talent pool
  • Publishing datasets like Behavior signals a commitment to open research, which appeals to academic‑oriented engineers.
  • Simultaneously, the clear product vision (e.g., Marble for VFX, gaming, interior design) gives engineers a tangible impact.
  • The dual focus creates career paths ranging from pure research to product engineering.
  • This strategy helps World Labs compete with larger AI labs for top talent.
