@taiuti and I started tinkering with real-time video in cafes around San Francisco. We’d worked together on Vision Pro at Apple, deep in the real-time systems that power new types of experiences and software.
World models blew us away, but nobody was building infrastructure to run them interactively at scale, so we decided to become that platform. Today we’re announcing Reactor $59M to unlock a future where real-time world models are accessible to every developer.
Today, we’re coming out of stealth with $59M in seed and Series A funding, led by Lightspeed, with Amplify Partners, WndrCo, Sky9, FPV, and incredible angels.
For a long time, pixels have been pre-rendered and played back passively. World Models change that entirely: pixels are generated on the fly, in real time, in response to what you're doing. Every time computing has made a shift from passive to interactive, entire industries appeared that didn't exist before. We're standing in front of such moment again.
Reactor is the platform for building in the World Model era: the infrastructure that lets any developer build with World Models at global scale. With only a few lines of code, and you're streaming pixels from a frontier World Model into your product, in real time, at massively.
Over the last 6 months, we’ve assembled an all-star team from Apple, Meta, Google, Luma AI, Netflix, and Replicate. We're already partnering with some of the biggest companies in the world, and hundreds of developers are already building on Reactor today.
