What Is Real-Time AI Video?
Real-time AI video is generated or transformed quickly enough to participate in an ongoing viewing or interaction loop.
SHARED DEFINITIONS
The language of real-time generative media.
“Real-time” can describe a completed clip, a continuous stream, or a world that reacts to actions. These definitions keep those products and their measurements separate.

BENCHMARK GLOSSARY
Real-Time Ratio (RTR)
RTR is generation time divided by playable video duration. A value below 1.00 means generation completed faster than playback.

WORLD MODEL GLOSSARY
What Is an Interactive World Model?
An interactive world model generates future observations conditioned on actions while maintaining enough state for a user or agent to continue interacting.
FROM TERMS TO DECISIONS
Definitions become useful when the clock is attached.
Use RTR for completed clips, first-frame latency and cadence for streams, and action-to-effect latency plus state persistence for interactive worlds.
