Introducing Odyssey-2 Pro—a frontier world model that generates long-running, interactive simulations in 720p!
We're also launching the first world model API, to enable devs to build magical apps.
We're now in the GPT-2 era of world models. Let the explosion of apps commence!
Gradium is out of stealth to solve voice. We raised $70M and after only 3 months we’re releasing our transcription and synthesis products to power the next generation of voice AI.
Introducing Odyssey-2: instant, interactive AI video!
This is a general-purpose model that instantly imagines 20FPS video you can interact with in open-ended ways.
It feels like true sci-fi. Type a few words, and AI instantly imagines a video that feels alive.
Today, we’re launching Parsed. We are incredibly lucky to live in a world where we stand on the shoulders of giants, first in science and now in AI. Our heroes have gotten us to this point, where we have brilliant general intelligence in our pocket. But this is a local minima. We now have an ecosystem of burgeoning tasks where each requires a different kind of intelligence, a different context, a whole host of implicit assumptions and latent knowledge and domain expertise that is very difficult to cram into a system prompt.
The big labs want you renting their $50k/month amnesiac interns that forget everything between conversations. Generic behemoths that get quantised, versioned and deprecated behind the scenes, where the only element of control you have is your messy monolithic user prompt. We want people who need their own intelligence to be able to not only access it, but also control it. And whilst the big general models are unbelievably good chatbots and coding agents and purveyors of the world, specialisation of intelligence is required. Clinical scribes, marketing compliance agents, legal red-lining models, insurance policy recommenders, the list goes on.
And so that’s what Parsed does: deploy your own frontier model that actually learns. We eval your specific task, build a custom evaluation harness, optimise a model just for you, and host it with continual learning. We bake all the context and knowledge of your task into the model itself, from your engineers to your domain experts to customer feedback, all in a tight SFT → RL loop, with useful interpretability made possible by the open-source ecosystem we build on top of. No more 2000-word prompts with seventeen "IMPORTANT: NEVER DO X" clauses. Your model gets better at YOUR job every single day; the amnesiac pseudo-gods have had their run. Your model, your data, your moat. Let's build 🫡
Baked-in Brilliance: Reranking Meets RL 🍞
Meet mxbai-rerank-v2, our second-gen rerankers built on Qwen2.5 (thanks, @Alibaba_Qwen) & refined with GRPO from @deepseek_ai. They outperform open & closed-source models while staying fully open. 👇
Agents are making their way to our browsers, automating research and transactional workflows.
But what if agents could build and optimize software products to eventually run a whole company?
We're about to find out! @airstreet has led a $3M day one round for @Fern_Labs 👀👇
I’m launching Topology, an early-stage venture firm dedicated to frontier technology. We've raised an oversubscribed $75M Fund 1.
Topology backs founders who put everything on the line to bend the arc of human progress.
Meet us at the edge.

The next frontier for visual generative models is to learn from the physical world. We've been pioneering exactly this at @odysseyml.
We're building a vast dataset of real-world places, all captured in incredibly high-fidelity 3D with a custom hardware device.
