Roblox, accused of downloading 145 GB of 3D models with adult content for AI training. The company has denied using the files

According to Open3DLabTrackers associated with online gaming platforms Roblox took 145.5 GB of 3D models from Open3DLab and its sister sites (SFMLab and SmutBase).. He was also accused of ignoring website restrictions. The material contains adult content. Open3DLab administrators suspect that this is artificial intelligence training or test data, although they cannot prove it.

Subsequently, Roblox admitted that a researcher on its team had developed a public 3D resource harvesting agent. This agent accidentally extracted some components from Open3DLab. According to a company spokesperson, they took the agent out of service and the data was not used for anything, nor was it used to train AI models.

Likewise, it should be noted that training is also questionable because of the way Roblox works with cubes. The system was introduced in March 2025. This is one Generative AI models which allows you to create three-dimensional objects from textual instructions. Roblox plans to expand its ability scenes and characters. In February 2026 they launched the 4D generation beta (to create interactive objects).

It should also be noted that Open3DLab does not believe that adult content was intended to be searched. However, as it appears in their records, they did not distinguish between such materials and the rest.
