"Decart, the AI research lab building real-time video and world models, announced on Monday it had raised $300m in new funding led by Radical Ventures. The round takes the two-year-old company's total raised past $450m, with Nvidia, Atreides Management, Valor Equity Partners, Adobe Ventures, Toyota Ventures, and eBay Ventures joining as new investors alongside returning backers Sequoia Capital, Benchmark, and Zeev Ventures."
"The angel list is the part that signals how Decart is positioning the company. Andrej Karpathy, the OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI head, is on the cap table alongside former Disney chief executive Michael Eisner, the Nintendo family, and gaming investor Moritz Baier-Lentz. The mix is media, gaming, and infrastructure rather than pure software engineering."
"Decart sells three things on its own framing. DOS is the Decart Optimization Stack, an inference and training platform that the company says runs across Nvidia GPUs, Google TPUs, and Amazon Trainium and delivers 1,600 tokens per second for agentic inference against an industry average it puts at around 200, plus full-HD video inference at up to 100 frames per second."
"Lucy is its 'world model for immersive experiences', responding to user input in under 30 milliseconds and now deployed across virtual try-on, live streaming, and dynamic in-video advertising. Oasis is the parallel product for physical AI, which the company has been pushing toward robotics and autonomous-systems customers since the origin"
