What critics are saying

  • Managed IT rivals like Eventura and Practical Networks target the same North East buyers.

  • If Microsoft and cloud vendors commoditize bundles, Odyssey's local-service edge erodes quickly.

The Generative Reality: why we're investing in Odyssey.

The Generative Reality: why Wyldvc is investing in Odyssey. Since the dawn of digital entertainment, Wyldvc has lived in a world of "baked" pixels. Whether it is a Hollywood blockbuster, a AAA video game, or a social feed, the digital experiences Wyldvc consume are static artifacts. They are pre-rendered, pre-determined, and fundamentally passive. You can navigate a game world, but you cannot change its physics. You can watch a video, but the story ends where the file stops. Wyldvc has spent decades building increasingly high-fidelity cages - beautiful, but rigid. Today, Wyldvc is thrilled to announce its investment in Odyssey. Odyssey is not just building another AI video generator. They are a visionary AI lab building the engine for Generative Reality: a world where digital environments are not fetched from a server, but imagined in real-time, frame-by-frame. Beyond Video: The Shift to Causal World Models The current AI video landscape is largely dominated by bidirectional models - systems that look at a beginning and an end to "fill in" the middle. While the results are visually stunning, they are inherently "closed." They are clips, not worlds. They cannot scale to infinity because they require a predetermined "ending" before the first frame is even rendered. Odyssey has taken a fundamentally different architectural path. By utilizing causal architecture, Odyssey generates each frame based solely on the historical state of the world.

Odyssey lands NVIDIA and Samsung backing to build AI world simulator

Odyssey, an AI research company developing frontier world models, has secured investment from NVentures, NVIDIA's venture capital arm, and Samsung Next. The funding will support development of a general-purpose world simulator capable of generating infinitely long, interactive simulations from any starting point. Founded two years ago, Odyssey recently released Odyssey-2 Pro, a world model that can be integrated into applications across robotics, gaming, education and defence. The investment adds to backing from GV, EQT, Air Street Capital and notable angel investors including Jeff Dean and Elad Gil. The company will use the capital to improve simulation length, quality and interactivity, whilst scaling infrastructure for training next-generation world models. Odyssey's research team includes talent from DeepMind, OpenAI, Tesla, Waymo and Meta.
