Installation

git clone https://github.com/EnigmaLabsAI/multiverse
cd multiverse
pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the model

python src/play.py --compile

Note on Apple Silicon you must enable CPU fallback for MPS backend with PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 python src/play.py

When running this command, you will be prompted with the controls. Press enter to start:

Then the game will be start:

• To control the silver car at the top screen use the arrow keys.
• To control the blue car at the bottom use the WASD keys.

Training

Multiverse comprised two models:

• Denoiser - a world model that simulates a game
• Upsampler - a model which takes the frames from the denoiser and increases their resolution

Denoiser training

1. Download the dataset

Download the Denoiser's training set from 🤗 Huggingface.

2. Process data for training

Run the command:

python src/process_denoiser_files.py <folder_with_dataset_files_from_step_one> <folder_to_store_processed_data>

3. Edit training configuration

Edit config/env/racing.yaml and set:

• path_data_low_res to <folder_to_store_processed_data>/low_res
• path_data_full_res to <folder_to_store_processed_data>/full_res

Edit config/training.yaml to train the denoiser:

train_model: denoiser

4. Launch training run

You can then launch a training run with python src/main.py.

Upsampler training

1. Download the dataset

Download the Upsampler's training set from 🤗 Huggingface.

2. Process data for training

Run the command:

python src/process_upsampler_files.py <folder_with_dataset_files_from_step_one> <folder_to_store_processed_data>

3. Edit training configuration

Edit config/env/racing.yaml and set:

• path_data_low_res to <folder_to_store_processed_data>/low_res
• path_data_full_res to <folder_to_store_processed_data>/full_res

Edit config/training.yaml to train the denoiser:

train_model: upsampler

4. Launch training run

You can then launch a training run with python src/main.py.

Datasets

1. We've collected over 4 hours of multiplayer (1v1) footage from Gran Turismo 4 at a resolution of 48x64 (per players): 🤗 Huggingface link.

2. A sparse sampling of full resolution, cropped frames, are availabe in order to train the upsampler at a resolution of 350x530: 🤗 Huggingface link.

The datasets contain a variety of situations: acceleration, braking, overtakes, crashes, and expert driving for both players. You can read about the data collection mechanism here

Note: The full resolution dataset is only for upsampler training and is not fit for world model training.
