Decart Unveils Oasis 3 Driving World Model at $0.02 a Second, Targeting AV Developers
1 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Jun 10
Summary
Oasis 3 is now available via API, letting developers generate photorealistic, multi-camera driving environments in real time for training and testing autonomous systems.
Decart is pitching the model first to autonomous-vehicle companies that need rare edge cases at scale, while using day-one API access to seed a broader developer ecosystem for physical AI.
Pricing starts at $0.02 per second, and Decart says its vertically integrated software stack makes the models more than an order of magnitude cheaper to run than rivals on Nvidia, Amazon and Google hardware.
The launch follows Decart's $300 million funding round at nearly a $4 billion valuation, as competition in world models intensifies with offerings from Google, World Labs, Luma and Runway.
Tests showed strong initial realism but weak long-range consistency and imperfect physics—cars can pass through other vehicles—limitations Decart says stem from memory and data challenges it is still working to solve.
Decart’s new AI world is photorealistic but breaks physics. How can it safely train autonomous cars?
With NVIDIA and billion-dollar rivals, can Decart’s cheaper but flawed model win the physical AI race?

Overview
Decart unveiled Oasis 3 in June 2026, introducing a real-time, photorealistic world model that makes perception, decision, and action instantly visible. This breakthrough provides immediate and detailed insights into complex environments, forming a foundation for advanced AI systems that interact with the physical world. Aimed primarily at autonomous vehicle developers, Oasis 3 offers a robust platform for simulating real-world driving scenarios with high fidelity, while also supporting broader physical AI applications. By enabling instant visibility into critical processes, Oasis 3 helps developers build, test, and refine sophisticated AI agents for diverse real-world tasks.
