  1. Odyssey Raises $310M Series B at $1.45B to Build AI World ModelsOdyssey, founded by self-driving veterans Oliver Cameron and Jeff Hawke, raised a $310 million Series B at a $1.45 billion valuation to build AI world models that simulate real-world physics and causality. Natural Capital led, with Amazon, AMD Ventures and GV joining -- and a strategic AWS Trainium compute deal pointed pointedly away from Nvidia.
  2. World-Model Startup Odyssey Raises $310M at a $1.45B Valuation, Backed by AmazonOdyssey, the AI lab building interactive 'world models' founded by self-driving veterans Oliver Cameron and Jeff Hawke, raised a $310 million Series B at a $1.45 billion valuation led by Natural Capital, with Amazon, GV, AMD Ventures, EQT and In-Q-Tel participating. AWS becomes its preferred cloud provider, marking one of the largest bets yet on generative, explorable environments.
  3. Odyssey Raises $310M at $1.45B -- Amazon and AMD Bet on World Models for Physical AIOdyssey, the Los Angeles startup founded by self-driving veterans Oliver Cameron and Jeff Hawke, raised a $310 million Series B at a $1.45 billion valuation to build 'world models' -- AI systems that simulate physical environments with real-world physics for robotics, autonomy, and interactive media. The round was led by Natural Capital, with Amazon, AMD Ventures, GV, Jeff Dean, Elad Gil, Garry Tan, Guillermo Rauch, and Kyle Vogt participating, and notably routes the company onto AWS Trainium after it had earlier taken Nvidia's money.
  4. Odyssey Raises $310M Series B for AI Infrastructure -- Amazon and AMD InAI infrastructure startup Odyssey raised a $310M Series B from a syndicate including Natural Capital, Amazon, AMD Ventures, GV, and EQT. Strategic backers across the compute stack signal a bet that the AI build-out still needs new infrastructure layers, not just more GPUs.
