Founded in 2023 by self-driving veterans Oliver Cameron (CEO) and Jeff Hawke (CTO), Odyssey develops world models that gather and simulate physical-world data for applications across video, robotics and gaming. The company has produced a handful of models and is noted for generating rich, interactive video from text prompts. Its data-collection approach involved sending people with cameras to capture environments, mirroring techniques used by mapping products. After its latest financing Amazon became a strategic cloud partner and Odyssey plans to optimize its models for AWS Trainium chips. Financially, Odyssey raised $310 million in a Series B at a $1.45 billion valuation and has raised $337 million in total to date.
