Story

Per a June 17 Reuters report, world-model lab Odyssey raised a $310M Series B at a $1.45B valuation, led by Natural Capital with Amazon, AMD Ventures, GV, EQT, and In-Q-Tel participating. The investor mix is the tell: a cloud buyer, a silicon vendor, and a national-security fund all in one round. Capital is concentrating around world-model and physical-AI labs sitting close to the compute and defense stack. This is the money behind the same surface Epic just opened with the Unreal MCP server, agents that manipulate spatial and physical state.
