Decart
AI research lab building real-time generative world models, including Oasis for physical AI and the Lucy real-time video model.
Decart is an AI research lab, founded in 2023 by Dean Leitersdorf and Moshe Shalev, that builds generative AI models optimized for real-time, low-latency inference. The company frames its work as infrastructure for the future of physical AI, applying deep expertise in optimization and low-level systems to push generative models toward interactive, sub-100-millisecond performance. Its work spans three product lines: DOS, an inference and training stack for running agents and reasoning models faster; Lucy, a real-time video generation and editing model; and Oasis, a world model for physical AI.
In 2024 Decart emerged from stealth with a $21M seed round led by Sequoia and released Oasis, described as the first fully playable, real-time AI-generated game world, which reached one million users in 72 hours. Benchmark led a $32M Series A in early 2025, followed by a $100M round at a $3.1B valuation and, in 2026, a $300M round led by Radical Ventures that brought total funding above $450M alongside the launch of DOS 2.0 and next-generation Lucy and Oasis. Oasis 3 is offered as an API-accessible world model for physical AI. Investors include Sequoia, Benchmark, NVIDIA, Toyota Ventures, Adobe Ventures, Atreides Management, eBay, Zeev Ventures, Valor and Valley Capital Partners. The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv, with additional offices in northern Israel, San Francisco and New York, where its research and engineering teams develop and optimize the generative models that power live video, interactive experiences and world models for physical and embodied AI applications.
