- The initiative is led by Albert Cheng as a small “two pizza team” composed mainly of engineers and scientists.
- The system relies on Amazon Web Services and multiple large language model providers with safeguards to prevent AI-generated assets from being ingested by external models.
- Early collaborators include Robert Stromberg’s Secret City, Kunal Nayyar’s Good Karma Productions, and former Pixar and ILM animator Colin Brady.
