Decart, an AI startup, announced Oasis 3, its latest interactive world model capable of generating photorealistic driving environments in real time, according to TechCrunch. The model is currently accessible through an API and is aimed at autonomous vehicle companies requiring large-scale simulation of rare driving scenarios. Decart plans to expand its applications into robotics and other physical AI domains. The startup is also focusing on building a developer ecosystem around world models, similar to how OpenAI did with language models. 'It’s going to be the first usable world model that people can actually program on top of,' said Dean Leitersdorf, co-founder and CEO of Decart. 'I think there’s going to be an entire developer community that emerges on top of this.'

Oasis 3 builds on Decart’s foundation model, Lucy, which is already used by over 100,000 developers in e-commerce and live streaming. The new model represents the company’s push into physical AI applications. Decart’s pricing for Oasis 3 is set at $0.02 per second, with enterprise pricing tailored to specific use cases. The startup is entering a competitive market with other companies like Google, World Labs, and video generation startups such as Luma and Runway also developing world models. Decart’s Oasis 3 is designed to generate photorealistic driving scenarios that users can interact with in real time.

Decart’s model offers high photo-realism and infinite generation capabilities, thanks to its efficiency and the use of the DOS software stack, which optimizes model performance on Nvidia, Amazon, and Google hardware. Leitersdorf noted that this vertical integration allows Decart to offer models that are more than an order of magnitude cheaper than competitors. The startup’s models are so efficient that it has spent less than $100 million in its lifetime. Oasis 3 generates multi-camera environments for training and testing systems, and allows developers to generate scenarios infinitely, which is ideal for testing edge cases in autonomous vehicle development.
