Thrilled to lead a $300M round in @DecartAI and partner with founders @DLeitersdorf, @MosheSshalev and @OLeitersdorf. Decart SOTA real-time video world models chip optimization stack unlock real-time video applications at scale for low cost.

Excited to share that we’ve raised $300M in our Series B round, led by @radicalvcfund, bringing our total funding to more than $450M, with leading technology companies joining as both customers and investors. We continue accelerating the path to AGI through our two core pillars: ultra-optimized infrastructure for AI workloads, and realtime world models built on top of it. Today, we’re also launching DOS (Decart Optimization Stack) 2.0 – our next-generation inference and training platform, delivering over 1,600 tokens per second for agentic inference and over 100 FPS for world models across major hardware platforms. Alongside DOS, we will launch new versions of our world models in the coming weeks: Lucy, for immersive realtime experiences, and Oasis, for physical AI. Grateful to our partners, customers, and backers across media & entertainment, Physical AI, chips, hyperscalers, and the broader AI ecosystem. @radicalvcfund, @Adobe, @alphaptrs, @amazon and @awscloud, @Atreidesmgmt, @benchmark, @eBay, @nvidia, @sequoia, @Toyota, @valor, @orenzeev; Andrej Karpathy, Michael Eisner, Yamauchi-No.10 Family Office, Moritz Baier-Lentz and more. We made a film for this moment with Decart CEO @DLeitersdorf and Moritz Baier-Lentz - a look at the company, the technology, and what comes next.

Since launching @radicalvcfund we’ve met 10,000 AI companies (invested in 73). @DecartAI are among the very few best technical teams we’ve ever seen. Excited to have them join our family of incredible founders & teams, & to join their board alongside @sequoia & @benchmark.

A very special talk @NeurIPS: @JeffDean and @GeoffreyHinton in conversation with Radical Ventures Managing Partner @JordanJacobs10. The story of Geoff and Jeff’s collaboration and friendship is the story of modern AI itself: the fusion of a powerful idea with the infrastructure needed to realize its potential. “We’ve always got along very well… ” – Geoff Hinton. #NeurIPS2025

Why our Scientific Partner and @theworldlabs CEO, @drfeifei, believes spatial intelligence is the next frontier of AI…
10 Nov 2025
AI’s next frontier is Spatial Intelligence, a technology that will turn seeing into reasoning, perception into action, and imagination into creation. But what is it? Why does it matter? How do we build it? And how can we use it? Today, I want to share with you my thoughts on building and using world models to unlock spatial intelligence in this essay below. 1/n

A Canadian success story, @Cohere, is expanding its business in the United Kingdom and working with our government to ensure AI is developed safely and responsibly.    A pleasure to welcome its CEO, Aidan Gomez, and Prime Minister Starmer to Parliament Hill today. Together we’re creating more opportunities in AI on both sides of the pond.

Today we're sharing our first research update @theworldlabs -- a generative model of 3D worlds! I'm super proud of what the team has achieved so far, and can't wait to see what comes next. Lifting GenAI to 3D will change the way we make media, from movies to games and more!

Very excited to share with you what our team @theworldlabs has been up to! No matter how one theorizes the idea, it's hard to use words to describe the experience of interacting with 3D scenes generated by a photo or a sentence. Hope you enjoy this blog! 🤩❤️‍🔥

Amazing recognition of my friend and inspiration, the brilliant (and very funny) @geoffreyhinton, winner of the @NobelPrize in Physics! Congratulations Geoff!!

One of the most exciting startups in the world has just come out of stealth. I’m so excited to be an investor and have @radicalvcfund be a partner to my great friend @drfeifei and her fantastic cofounders and team in the @theworldlabs journey.

What is a really really hard problem to work on in #AI? My own answer is Spatial Intelligence - a technology that could empower and enable countless possible use cases in creation, design, learning, AR/VR, robotics, and beyond. It’s a real honor that my cofounders @jcjohnss @chlassner @BenMildenhall and I are joined by a formidable team of world class pixel talents to start World Labs to work on this super hard problem that took Mother Nature half a billion years to solve. 🤩
