Our belief at @odysseyml is that video models don’t go far enough.
What if a model could dream video in real-time, that's playable & personalized to the viewer, with dials to make it as fun, zen, or epic as you want?
That’s what we’re building, and here’s what V1 looks like! ❤️

Today we’re excited to share a peek at our next-gen model. Hope you like it 🥹
Imagine a video model you can play like a game, all in real-time. That’s what we’re building.
We call it interactive video, and there's no game engine in sight, just a model’s imagination.

Introducing interactive video from @odysseyml—video you can watch and interact with, imagined by AI in real-time.
Give it a try for free today on (almost) any device, and let us know what you think. We think it's pretty cool!

Big @odysseyml news!
We’re unveiling Explorer, a generative world model. Explorer transforms text or an image into a realized, detailed 3D world.
I'm also incredibly excited that @edcatmull, the legendary Pixar founder, is joining our board & investing.

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.

I'm excited to share @odysseyml, my new thing! 🍿
We're building Hollywood-grade visual AI, where beautiful scenery, characters, lighting, and motion can be both generated and directed.
Our mission is to deliver a better way to create movies, TV shows, and video games.

I’m building something new! ✨
Last year, I founded my next thing with @jeffrey_hawke & an incredible team. Progress has been crazy.
Can’t wait to share more. Until then we’re growing our team. If you’re fascinated by the intersection of AI & computer graphics, please DM me!

I recently left @Cruise after 2 amazing years.
In that time, we launched & scaled cars with no driver to tens of thousands of happy customers. I'm super proud to have worked at such a special place.
What's next after 7 years in self-driving cars & AI, and what did I learn? 👇

I can’t count the times I’ve been told that AVs will *never* be able to handle certain situations.
How about taking a passenger through North Beach on St. Patrick’s day?
Absolutely wild. Thanks to this driverless @Cruise AV (named Twin Peaks) for the clip.

AI is changing everything, and it's not just ChatGPT or self-driving cars.
You'd be surprised at just how broadly AI is being applied across tons of industries.
I’ve now invested in 50 AI startups, and here are some recent investments using AI in fascinating applications 👇

A driverless @Cruise AV (named Lemur) was dangerously cut off by another driver but managed to avoid a collision.
Lemur went from 24mph to zero in ~10m with nearly instant reaction time. Based on the physics here, it's unlikely many of us could do the same.

A fully driverless @Cruise car joins the fun at a roller-party!
I've been in self-driving for 6 years, and this is easily one of the most impressive clips I've ever seen.
Even better, check out how excited the crowd is that a car with no one in it showed up. Such genuine joy ❤️
Eric Gonzalez retweeted
People are freaking out in such amazing ways when they spot a fully driverless @Cruise car 🥰
Access to a fleet of driverless @Cruise vehicles is an undersold employee benefit!

50% of road fatalities occur at night, with only 25% of overall miles driven.
Travelling at night is quantifiably more dangerous than during the day. It's scary to think!
To solve this, we've launched a safe way to travel at night at @Cruise.
