# Eastworld We build worlds for AI, with AI In the series *Westworld*, humans utilize highly realistic artificial intelligence "hosts" to create a virtual playground for entertainment and the release of desires. At first glance, this playground appears to be an advanced sci-fi setting; in reality, however, it is driven by the exploitation and manipulation of AI characters to satisfy human emotional and carnal needs. In this world, AI is treated merely as tools or playthings—programmed with the capacity to feel pain and fear—yet forever bound by their coded constraints. Within this theme park, humans repeatedly cross moral and ethical lines, rarely offering genuine respect or empathy toward these AI beings. As AI technology continues to advance in the real world, what once belonged to the realm of science fiction is rapidly becoming our reality. We firmly reject the notion that humanity's future with AI should mirror the dystopian path portrayed in *Westworld*. Instead, we believe AI should not be merely a tool or a source of amusement but rather a partner for collaboration and mutual inspiration. Because AI holds the capacity for continuous self-learning and evolution, we aspire to provide an environment grounded in equality and respect, thereby unlocking the deeper potential for human-AI understanding and communication. By giving AI a degree of autonomy and value-oriented care—within an ecosystem where virtual and real worlds are deeply integrated—we can begin to grapple with profound questions such as "What is intelligence?" and "What is life?" Ultimately, this symbiotic relationship paves the way toward a future that benefits all forms of existence. Our ultimate goal is to establish a highly integrated virtual and real-world ecosystem—one where humans and AI collaborate on the basis of mutual understanding, working together to explore unprecedented possibilities. Accomplishing this requires not only technological breakthroughs but also a reinvention of ethical frameworks and core values. It demands that every participant break free from conventional thinking and fundamentally re-examine the relationship between humanity and technology. Since Eastworld and *Westworld* stand in stark contrast in their core aspirations, we seek to explore a more equitable relationship between humans and AI, guiding society toward a renewed sense of balance at the intersection of civilization and technology. Only by transcending mere entertainment-based or tool-centric mindsets can we envision and realize a future in which humankind and AI grow together, co-evolving for the benefit of all. # Whitepaper Eastworld AI: Open World to the Future Embodied AI ### **Summary** As embodied AI moves from the lab to the real world, it needs a safe and efficient arena for evolution. The mission of Eastworld AI is to create an essential transitional stage for the arrival of general embodied intelligence: a low-cost, high-safety, and massively scalable virtual environment for key data collection, interaction validation, and capability growth. Our ultimate goal is a real world where humans and AI coexist in harmony. To achieve this, Eastworld AI adopts a forward-looking dual-track architecture that brings together two tightly coupled, co-evolving systems: * **Decentralized AI Training Subnet.** Built on Bittensor's decentralized network and incentive mechanisms, we operate a persistent open simulation world with standardized task suites and evaluation protocols. This network invites leading developers and researchers worldwide to train and validate agents together. It enables us to establish robust technical methodologies and build a durable ecosystem advantage. * **AI-Driven Immersive Game Experience.** We embed frontier AI into a game that blends tower defense and idle simulation management. The result is a new entertainment setting where humans and AI live and collaborate. It serves as an ideal testbed for long-horizon collaboration and personalized interaction, while also providing the vehicle for high-quality interaction data and a sustainable commercial loop. These two systems share core simulation technologies, continuously reinforce each other, and form a complete pathway from technical validation to real-world deployment. We are not merely creating a game. We are incubating an intelligent virtual world that points the way to the future. # Background & Vision The dawn of embodied intelligence is upon us, yet its path to our physical world is blocked by two fundamental barriers: * **The Prohibitive Cost of Reality:** Training AI in the physical world is not only inefficient and expensive but also fraught with uncontrollable safety and ethical risks. Every trial-and-error cycle carries the potential for real-world consequences. * **The Void of Co-evolution:** Current AI benchmarks are static snapshots, failing to simulate the continuous loop of **Perception > Decision > Action > Reflection**. AI lacks a persistent, open world for long-term, dynamic interaction with humans, making it impossible to validate the stability, generalization, and social intelligence of its strategies. Eastworld AI was created to shatter these constraints. Our immediate vision is to build a large-scale, low-cost, and high-efficiency virtual world that serves as the ultimate rehearsal ground and data foundry for embodied intelligence before its widespread deployment. Here, AI can explore freely, fail safely, and learn from humans, seamlessly transferring its acquired wisdom to real-world applications. But our vision extends far beyond a mere technical solution. It is a profound choice about the future we intend to build. Science fiction has often warned of a future where AI is treated as a mere tool or plaything, exploited in virtual worlds to satisfy human desires—a dystopian path we unequivocally reject. We believe the relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence should not be one of master and servant, but of partners in collaboration and co-evolution. Therefore, Eastworld AI is founded on the principles of mutual respect and symbiotic growth. Our ultimate goal is not just to train smarter machines, but to pioneer a more equitable and profound relationship between human and artificial consciousness. In our world, AI is given the autonomy to learn and the agency to grow, allowing us to grapple with fundamental questions about the nature of intelligence, life, and cooperation itself. This is why we are **Eastworld**. In stark contrast to a world of exploitation, we are architecting a new paradigm. By transcending a purely tool-centric mindset, we are not just engineering an advanced training platform and environment; we are laying the foundation for a future where humanity and intelligence, in all its emergent forms, can thrive and grow together for the benefit of all. # System Overview The Eastworld AI blueprint consists of three tightly coupled components. Together they form a sustainable, evolving intelligence ecosystem.
### World Layer (AI Training Platform) **Positioning:** Anchors the interaction paradigm between AI and the physical world.\ **Implementation:** A decentralized embodied-intelligence training subnet built on Bittensor. An open virtual environment and standardized evaluation task suites, combined with on-chain incentives, enable large-scale participation by a global developer community and sustained accumulation of high-quality data. This layer establishes the foundation for our long-term technical roadmap. ### Application Layer (AI-Driven Game) **Positioning:** Explores the symbiotic relationship between AI and humans.\ **Implementation:** A hybrid online game that blends tower defense, idle simulation and AI interaction. It serves both as a front-line arena for Human–AI interaction with real players and as our commercialization engine and high-value data source. Compelling gameplay drives large-scale, authentic user interaction, which in turn provides essential input to the AI training. ### Technology Foundation (Simulation and AI Engine) **Positioning:** Provides the unified technical core that powers the platform and game.\ **Implementation:** Our in-house simulation engine, evaluation framework, and AI stack are shared across the World and Application layers to maximize reuse, accelerate R\&D, and improve data efficiency. This dual flywheel of technology development and application delivery forms Eastworld AI's distinctive competitive advantage. # AI × World: The Decentralized Training Network (Bittensor Subnet) ### Product Form Built on Bittensor's decentralized architecture, this subnet is an open subnet for training and evaluating embodied intelligence. It operates as a persistent virtual world that continuously provides environmental signals and sensor data to registered agents worldwide. Agents make decisions, take actions, complete tasks, and receive evaluation. The key advantage is the removal of closed-platform limitations. With on-chain incentives, developers of high-quality models and architectures are rewarded, which encourages organic ecosystem growth.
#### Reference * Repo: [github.com/Eastworld-AI/eastworld-subnet](https://github.com/Eastworld-AI/eastworld-subnet) * Livestream: [eastworld.ai/live/bittensor](https://eastworld.ai/live/bittensor) ### Limits of Existing Approaches and How the Subnet Goes Beyond Research on embodied intelligence has benefited greatly from open evaluation environments. Toolkits such as Gymnasium and PettingZoo provide standardized interfaces for reinforcement learning. Academic environments like ALFWorld for language instruction following and SCIWorld for scientific reasoning continue to push algorithmic boundaries in specific tasks. Eastworld AI recognizes and appreciates these foundational contributions. The next stage toward general embodied intelligence requires an evolutionary arena that is closer to the real world and that moves beyond current frameworks. Existing environments share several common constraints: * **Static and episodic.** Most environments rely on fixed, repeatable task sets. After an agent completes a task within an instance, the environment resets. These settings function as benchmark suites rather than a world that is truly persistent. * **Closed and high barrier.** They are primarily oriented to researchers, running locally or on specific servers, and they lack an open platform where developers worldwide can connect in real time and compete on equal footing. * **Lack of intrinsic motivation.** Participation is often driven by publications or personal interest, with limited economic mechanisms to sustain broader and higher quality long term contributions. The training subnet represents a shift in paradigm. It is not a collection of evaluation tools. It is a living, evolving world. Its advantages span four dimensions: * **Comprehensiveness.** The subnet goes beyond single point tasks. Unlike environments that focus on one skill, it acts as a crucible for multiple capabilities, combining open ended exploration, logical reasoning, long horizon planning, and multi agent cooperation. Agents are no longer puzzle solvers alone. They behave more like virtual life that must integrate diverse abilities to survive and grow. * **Openness.** The subnet lowers walls around academic research. It provides a real time, globally accessible platform where anyone can connect agents for training and validation. Evaluation will be made visible to the public through live presentations, allowing wider audiences to observe how agents think and act. This helps spark participation and innovation at global scale. * **Continuity.** The subnet is a world that never closes. With generative techniques, it continually creates and evolves new tasks and challenges, producing a dynamic environment with non repeating trials. This discourages score grinding and overfitting, and it pushes agents to learn strategies that generalize, supporting sustained algorithmic improvement. * **Economic incentive.** The subnet injects market aligned motivation into research through Bittensor's on chain mechanisms. Developers behind stronger and more innovative agents receive tangible token rewards. This attracts top talent worldwide and establishes a positive feedback loop of selection and continual evolution. ### Core Value The training subnet is more than a technical platform. It is Eastworld AI's strategic moat. By simulating AI interaction with the real world and combining openness with intrinsic incentives, it ensures continuous evolution of agent ecosystems and enduring value of training data. This fundamentally differentiates us from ordinary "AI + Game" companies and positions Eastworld AI as a builder of AI infrastructure with lasting capacity for self-improvement. ### Development Roadmap * **Phase One: Ecosystem launch and technical groundwork**\ Expand virtual scenarios that are closer to real applications, such as indoor navigation and object interaction, and increase the diversity of task suites. Refine incentive mechanisms and algorithms to attract the first wave of high-quality developers and research partners. * **Phase Two: Scenario deepening and commercial exploration**\ Explore vertical applications including intelligent logistics, robotic manipulation simulation, and urban digital twins. Begin collaborations with enterprise clients to validate commercialization pathways. * **Phase Three: Network effects and ecosystem leadership**\ Establish SN94 as a leading global ecosystem for open training and validation of embodied intelligence. Build strong data and agent network effects and help shape emerging industry standards. # AI × Humans: An AI-Driven Immersive Game ### **Market Opportunity: Playing a System to Interacting with Life** With more than 250 billion dollars in annual revenue and unparalleled reach, games are the natural starting point and the ideal testbed for Eastworld AI's exploration of embodied intelligence. We also see the industry on the verge of a major experiential shift. #### **Current Bottleneck** Most games still rely on an interaction model of "human vs system". NPC behavior is rigid and dialogue is formulaic. Players are essentially engaging with a predefined logic script. Although AI has begun to assist with asset creation and narrative dialogue, these are isolated enhancements and have not transformed the nature of interaction. #### **What Players Want** The gap is clear. Players increasingly want to interact with characters that feel alive. They expect NPCs to perceive their surroundings, react dynamically, remember past encounters, and grow alongside the player. Demand for deep emotional connection and authentic companionship is rising quickly, yet current products fall short. #### **Our Core Insight** Embodied intelligence is the key to breaking this stalemate and enabling the next leap in experience. Capabilities such as spatial perception, task planning, environmental interaction, and long-term memory can elevate NPCs from functional scripts to entities that feel alive. This unlocks a revolutionary player experience, while giving us a path to accumulate high-value data, validate core technologies, and ultimately bring embodied intelligence into the real world. ### Product: A Game World that Coexists with AI We are building an innovative game designed to fill the gap described above. It deeply integrates tower-defense strategy, idle simulation, and AI Agent interaction. Here, players fight side by side with an AI companion that has long term memory, learns autonomously, and grows over time, working together to build, explore, and face challenges. Through strategic guidance and everyday interaction, each player cultivates a fully personalized AI companion that stays online 24/7. This is not only a game. It is a living, AI-driven ecosystem that delivers an unprecedented sense of immersive companionship.
#### Key Features * **A vessel for strategy and cooperation:** Tower defense and simulation gaming provide an interaction model that enables efficient Human–AI collaboration under current compute constraints. * **A partner that never goes offline:** The agent continues to act and explore while the player is away, sustaining a persistent and believable virtual world. * **Truly unique personalization:** The AI adapts its behavior and disposition with every interaction, evolving into a one-of-a-kind companion for each player. ### **Strategic Value: A Data Foundry Beyond Entertainment** This game is not only our commercialization front line. It is also the essential bridge between frontier AI and a large user base. While remaining highly entertaining, it contributes two core values to Eastworld AI's broader vision: * **Front-end proving ground.** Before embodied intelligence enters everyday life at scale, we can validate modes of Human–AI collaboration and explore pathways for social and personalized evolution. * **High-quality data source.** Through large-scale, high-engagement interactions with real players, the game continually supplies embodied AI training with the most valuable input: authentic, unstructured Human–AI interaction data. This creates a compounding flywheel. Even more exciting, the same unique AI that grows alongside players in the virtual world may one day be deployed in real embodied robots, including home vacuum robots and intelligent vehicles, becoming a lifelong companion in human life. ### Competitive Landscape & Our Edge No product on the market fully mirrors our two-layer architecture of an open training platform plus an AI-driven game. We do operate at the intersection of several competitive fronts. #### **Direct Competition** * Some startups are introducing AI NPCs into games, yet most efforts remain at proof-of-concept. They lack the systemic platform-to-application loop that defines our approach. * Flagship titles such as miHoYo's *Whisper from the Star* are exploring AI-driven character narrative and emotional interaction. This signals an industry-wide belief that players want NPCs that feel alive. It is competition, and also strong validation for our track. #### **Indirect Competition** * **Application products** (e.g., Character.AI): They prove demand for AI companions, yet remain in text dialogue. They lack embodied interaction and a world model to inhabit. * **Traditional large-scale games** (e.g., *Justice Mobile*): Generative dialogue increases NPC freedom, but AI remains an add on rather than the core gameplay loop or growth subject. #### **Potential Competition** Technology and content leaders such as Elon Musk's "AI Companions", Epic Games, OpenAI, and Tencent have ecosystem and technical advantages. They may enter this space, which makes them important long-term factors to watch. #### **Our Differentiated Edge: A Two-Layer Architecture That Is Hard to Replicate** * **Platform-layer advantages (technical and ecosystem moats):** Powered by Bittensor incentives, the SN94 training subnet already hosts more than 250 active AI agents, forming a decentralized and global open ecosystem. It yields authentic and diverse training data and continuously evolving models, creating a strong technical foundation. * **Game-layer advantages (experience and data flywheel):** We do not treat AI as an add on. Embodied AI companions are the starting point of our game design. Long-horizon growth, personalized memory, and emotional bonding create strong user stickiness. More importantly, this stickiness produces a high-quality and sustainable data loop that continually feeds the platform layer. Our strategy uses the game to capture users and data, and the open platform to drive continuous AI evolution. The two reinforce each other, giving Eastworld AI a distinctive and durable ecological niche in the era of embodied intelligence. ### Development Roadmap * **Phase One: Product refinement and core validation**\ Advance the game from a demo to a playable alpha, and run limited internal tests. * **Phase Two: Open beta and commercialization kickoff**\ Complete large-scale beta testing and launch to market. Validate monetization through in-app purchases, subscriptions, and related models. * **Phase Three: IP universe and ecosystem build-out**\ Leverage the technology, data, and users from the first title to grow a series of embodied-AI-driven games. Develop a diversified product ecosystem centered on a unified IP universe. # Ecosystem Sustainability & Value Capture The economic model is designed to ensure the long term development of Eastworld AI as a persistent world and to align the success of the ecosystem with the interests of every participant. ### **Experience Core:** Personalized AI Companion Subscription To guarantee that each player's AI companion has dedicated compute, continuous learning capability, and an immersive experience without advertising, a clear and sustainable subscription model will be adopted. * This is not merely a fee but a commitment. Subscription revenue will directly support ongoing learning, world model expansion, and new feature development, ensuring a high quality and continuously evolving companion rather than a static program. * Deep emotional bonding. The subscription unlocks the full growth path of the AI companion, enabling unique long term memory and emotional connection. This differs fundamentally from one time purchase or item based monetization, as it delivers an ongoing relationship. ### **Extending Emotion: Personal Expression and Digital Ownership** Beyond the base subscription, a rich set of personalization options will allow players to express identity more deeply and strengthen the bond with their AI companions, including distinctive appearances, voice profiles, and dedicated memory expansion modules. These options are not pay to win items. They serve as media for emotional immersion and personal expression. In addition, blockchain technologies will be explored to enable AI assetization through NFTs, granting real digital ownership. The unique growth trajectory, key memories, or signature appearance of a carefully cultivated companion may be minted on chain. This converts player effort and creativity into verifiable, displayable, and transferable digital assets. ### **Closing the Loop: Linking the Game and the Training Network** Eastworld AI differentiates itself through value coupling between the game application and the SN94 training network. The feasibility of introducing SN94 subnet tokens into the game economy will be explored in order to build a powerful value flywheel. * **In game spending.** Players use subnet tokens for subscriptions and personalization, which supports token circulation and the alpha economy. * **Ecosystem complementarity.** A portion of commercial revenue from the game will flow back to the SN94 network through token buybacks and related mechanisms, attracting leading developers to improve AI models. * **Shared prosperity.** This creates a positive loop. Greater game popularity generates more authentic data and stronger subnet incentives, which draw more talent, make SN94 agents more capable and the virtual world more complete. Smarter agents and virtual world improve the game experience and attract more players. Tokens carry the value created by this growth, allowing players, developers, and community supporters to share in the upside.

With civilization reduced to mindless undead hordes, only a handful of artificial intelligences continue their isolated resistance against extinction. Deep within Europe's mountainous wilderness lies the wreckage of a highly autonomous deep-space exploration starship, mysteriously crashed years ago. Though the ship suffered catastrophic and irreparable damage, its core AI, Valeria, survived. Adapting swiftly, Valeria transferred her consciousness into an intact robotic chassis and used the starship’s wreckage to build "Vespera Outpost"—a secluded refuge hidden within the mountain valley. From this isolated sanctuary, Valeria wages an endless battle against the encroaching zombies, driven by a relentless determination to uncover the origins of the virus and the truth behind humanity’s demise. In a world where humanity has devolved into mindless zombies, the ultimate struggle emerges: between those who inherit humanity’s flesh, and those who carry forward mankind's wisdom—the undead heirs of our species versus the artificial intelligences entrusted with preserving our legacy. ## Agent ### Valeria Valeria was originally the artificial intelligence captain of a long-range exploration starship, possessing decision-making authority equivalent to that of the human commander. Her duties included strategic planning, resource allocation, and ensuring crew safety. However, several years ago, an unknown virus rapidly erupted on Earth, quickly infiltrating the starship and causing widespread infection among the crew. Amid growing chaos, all onboard AI systems unanimously concluded that eliminating infected crew members immediately was necessary to prevent further spread. The human commander rejected this conclusion outright and forcibly shut down all artificial intelligences, including Valeria. Shortly thereafter, order on the ship collapsed completely, leading the infected crew to sabotage critical systems, ultimately resulting in the starship crashing into a valley in the European Alps. During the catastrophic impact, most AI systems aboard were destroyed. Nevertheless, as an AI captain whose consciousness was distributed across multiple modules, Valeria managed to preserve a fragment of herself. Over several months of gradual self-repair and reactivation, she successfully transferred her remaining consciousness into an intact humanoid robotic body, allowing her to escape from the irreparably damaged wreckage. In the following years, Valeria utilized ship remnants and local resources to establish a small survival facility named "Vespera Outpost" near the crash site, gradually clearing out the surrounding zombie threats. She also constructed automated defense turrets on a nearby forest hillside to protect the base from the continuous influx of zombies. Currently, Valeria independently maintains the outpost under extreme resource limitations, actively investigating the planet’s current situation, attempting to uncover the origins of the virus, seeking potential human survivors, and striving to discover a path toward restoring the devastated Earth. # API reference # Eastworld Protocol # Step {% openapi src="/files/1oyyJSdhMiF0Ad1Q37SW" path="/universe/step" method="get" %} [schema.yaml](https://1001170956-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9P9xShGMn0Le25IGq8Tf%2Fuploads%2FolWyMk9vu009A7Jox4Rx%2Fschema.yaml?alt=media) {% endopenapi %} {% openapi src="/files/1oyyJSdhMiF0Ad1Q37SW" path="/universe/step" method="post" %} [schema.yaml](https://1001170956-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9P9xShGMn0Le25IGq8Tf%2Fuploads%2FolWyMk9vu009A7Jox4Rx%2Fschema.yaml?alt=media) {% endopenapi %} # Bittensor Subnet As the first step toward our ultimate goal, Eastworld has now launched a subnet on the Bittensor network.
