To simulate is to understand

To simulate is to understand

We're pioneering world models: causal, multimodal systems that learn to understand and simulate the world

A new, foundational technology

World models learn the physics, dynamics, cause-and-effect and human behaviors that shape our reality, building an understanding of how the world works. That understanding provides a shared foundation for robots to perform useful work, AIs to learn through experience, and humans to explore, create and test ideas within simulated worlds

How does a world model learn?

A world model learns to predict the most likely future

Examples of visual experience connect to a world model and its predictions.

Physics

The properties and constraints that govern how objects behave

Dynamics

How objects and systems move, interact, and change over time

Cause & Effect

How actions and events influence what happens next in the world

Agent Behaviors

How agents act, pursue goals, and interact with others

Odyssey-3 · Foundation World Model

Odyssey-3 powers a variety of physical and virtual systems

Odyssey-3 draws on a learned understanding of physics, motion, and cause-and-effect to act in physical and virtual worlds. One foundation world model powers policies for robots, humanoids, cars, drones, video games, and more

Odyssey-3 connects a shared foundation world model to robots, self-driving cars, and drones.

Multi-Agent World Models

Multi-agent worlds, where agents learn through interaction

We’re building multi-agent world models that enable humans and AI to interact inside the same simulated environment, exploring how agents learn through shared experience, and how those interactions can improve the worlds themselves

World Model

Agora-1

A multi-agent world model, enabling multiple participants—human or AI—to share and interact within the same world simulation in real-time

Reinforcement Learning

PROWL-1

A novel RL-driven adversarial framework where an RL agent explores game environments with the objective to improve world model performance
