Odyssey

Odyssey builds multimodal world models: AI systems that construct internal representations of physical environments from combined visual, audio, radar and other sensor streams, enabling autonomous agents to plan actions and predict consequences. That capability is directly applicable to drone control, autonomous vehicles and battlefield awareness systems, sitting at the intersection of commercial autonomous-vehicle technology and military application.

Odyssey's selection alongside Cosine in the Sovereign AI Fund's first cohort tilted that portfolio firmly toward defence and regulated applications, signalling that DSIT views AI sovereignty primarily as a national security question rather than a purely commercial competitiveness one, an approach that echoes the French Ministry of Defence's Mistral framework requiring French-only infrastructure.
