Odyssey, an AI lab building general-purpose world models, raised $310M at a $1.45B valuation in a round led by Natural Capital, with Amazon, AMD Ventures, GV, EQT, and CIA-affiliated fund In-Q-Tel participating.
The deal names AWS as Odyssey’s preferred cloud provider and gives it access to Amazon’s Trainium chips, a pointed move four months after Nvidia’s venture arm backed Odyssey’s Series A.
With 55 employees and $27M raised before this round, Odyssey is now one of the most capital-intensive AI bets per head in the market.
Four months ago, Nvidia’s venture arm invested in Odyssey. Today, Odyssey announced it will use Amazon’s chips for its future work.
Odyssey, an AI lab based in Palo Alto that builds world models, has closed a $310 million Series B round at a $1.45 billion valuation. Natural Capital led the round, with Amazon, AMD Ventures, GV, EQT, and the CIA-affiliated fund In-Q-Tel also joining.
