Key takeaways

  • Agora-1 enables multiple participants—human or AI—to share and interact within the same world simulation in real-time
  • World models are powerful tools for generating high-fidelity simulations of arbitrary environments, and until now they've been limited to a single active participant within those simulated worlds.
  • To explore multi-agent world models, we turned to GoldenEye, a game many on the Odyssey team loved growing up.

Agora-1 enables multiple participants—human or AI—to share and interact within the same world simulation in real-time

Today we're excited to release Agora-1, the first in a series of multi-agent world models exploring how world models can enable new and powerful shared experiences across gaming, robotics, defense, education, foundation models, and more. World models are powerful tools for generating high-fidelity simulations of arbitrary environments, and until now they've been limited to a single active participant within those simulated worlds. With Agora-1, we introduce multi-agent world simulations.

To explore multi-agent world models, we turned to GoldenEye, a game many on the Odyssey team loved growing up. Games have long served as a useful environment for AI research, with systems trained in Atari, Minecraft, StarCraft, and now GoldenEye.
