Jasmine: A Scalable JAX-Based World Modeling Codebase for Efficient AI Training
By
PaulHoule
A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Researchers introduce Jasmine, a high-performance JAX-based world modeling codebase designed to scale from single hosts to hundreds of accelerators with minimal code changes. The system achieves an order-of-magnitude faster reproduction of the CoinRun case study compared to prior implementations, enabled by optimizations across data loading, training, and checkpointing. Jasmine provides fully reproducible training, supports diverse sharding configurations, and when paired with curated datasets, establishes infrastructure for rigorous benchmarking across model families and architectural ablations.

We introduce Jasmine, a performant JAX-based world modeling codebase that scales from single hosts to hundreds of accelerators with minimal code changes.
Jasmine achieves an order-of-magnitude faster reproduction of the CoinRun case study compared to prior open implementations, enabled by performance optimizations across data loading, training and checkpointing.
The codebase guarantees fully reproducible training and supports diverse sharding configurations.
By pairing Jasmine with curated large-scale datasets, we establish infrastructure for rigorous benchmarking pipelines across model families and architectural ablations.
