Odyssey is an AI lab focused on creating universal world models, which the company calls new form of audiovisual intelligence. These models are to form the basis of the next generation of games, films, education content, training simulations and advertising. These models don't just generate video - they enable interaction with the 3D world i.e. creation of interactive videos. The company achieves this through a new multi-stage training pipeline that transforms the model into a causal behavioral video model that reacts to actions in real time and continuously responds to input. As you play the video, you shape it in real time using natural text prompts, similar to communicating with a language model.
