Odyssey

aid: odyssey
name: Odyssey
description: 'Odyssey is an AI research lab pioneering general-purpose world models — causal, multimodal systems that learn
  to understand and simulate the world beyond language. Its flagship, Odyssey-2 Pro, is a frontier world model that outputs
  continuous, interactive, multi-minute video simulations in real time from text or image prompts. Odyssey exposes this as
  a developer API: three surfaces (interactive streams, viewable/broadcast streams, and asynchronous simulations) delivered
  over WebRTC media plus a WebSocket signaling channel, driven by official JavaScript/ TypeScript and Python SDKs. Auth is
  an `ody_` API key with a client-credentials pattern that mints short-lived session JWTs so browsers can connect without
  exposing the key. Odyssey is backed by a16z, EQT Ventures, General Catalyst, GV, and Union Square Ventures and is based
  in Menlo Park, California.'
