Odyssey-3 pictures what happens next, then acts

Odyssey-3 is a world model. Odyssey says it taught robot arms from tens of hours of demos and drove a real car in India on 20 hours of data.

What it is

On October 8, Odyssey launched Odyssey-3, which it calls its most powerful foundation world model. A world model learns from video how objects move and how situations unfold, the way you can picture a glass tipping over before you bump it. You can use it to generate a world you can move around in, or to train machines to act in the real one.

Robots and a real car

Odyssey says that with only tens of hours of robot demonstrations, Odyssey-3 learned to do manipulation tasks and even recovered in ways the demos never showed, like turning its gripper again after a missed grasp. The robotics company Flexion built humanoid control on top of it. Odyssey also trained it to drive a real car on roads in India using just 20 hours of driving data, without retraining the core model.

The score

Odyssey says Odyssey-3 Pro scored 66.1 on Physics-IQ Verified's video-to-video test, the highest reported score. That's Odyssey's claim, from its own evaluation.

How to try it

A research preview, Odyssey-3 Flash, is open now. Developers building robots, cars or drones can contact Odyssey about building with it.
