What would it take for anyone to build a spatial world on a phone and find it exactly where they left it? Inside Portals' approach to persistent augmented reality: creation without 3D skills, scenes stored as intent rather than geometry, and real-time Gaussian splats on edge devices.

Can a sentence compose a 3D world to an art director's standard? How H3M's worldgen system turns a prompt into a lit, finished space: looks stored as data, a catalogue of 1,576 reusable components, and an AI critic whose feedback became 45 art-direction rules.

Language models rebuild meaning from raw text on every query, and their answers drift from their sources. CSFN, an H3M research project, compiles knowledge once into typed objects tied to exact evidence. In a controlled test world, a 5,152-parameter reasoner matched a frozen LLM baseline on 36 of 37 held-out tasks.

Phones and laptops carry sensors and telemetry that operating systems routinely average away. Latent Compute is an H3M research direction asking whether a small on-device language model performs better with context from the device it runs on. The test is designed, with seven gates set before building, and has not yet been run.

The accelerating pace of AI image generation is collapsing the distance between a spark of an idea and a fully realized spatial experience. This shift unlocks a future where imagination manifests instantly, transforming our everyday environments into dynamic, living worlds through Portals.
