Odyssey-3 is a foundation world model that can power robots, drive cars, train AIs, pilot drones, and even play video games Oliver Cameron Jeff Hawke September 15th, 2026 Jeff and I began working on autonomous vehicles and robotics in the 2010s, at a time when one of the field’s long-term ambitions was general-purpose physical intelligence: a system that understands the extent of the world to operate across many different machines and tasks.
In practice, the field progressed through increasingly specialized systems, each trained for a relatively narrow domain and often requiring enormous amounts of task-specific data.
We founded Odyssey in 2023 around the belief that world models could provide a legitimate technical path toward that broader ambition.
By learning a general, causal model of how the world behaves, a world model could provide a common foundation for many physical and virtual systems, adapting that knowledge to new tasks with relatively little task-specific experience.
