01What it sells and who buys it
Decart began with AI compute efficiency and expanded into real-time generated games and video models. It operates both enterprise technology and public-facing generative experiences.
02How the business makes money
Enterprise compute-efficiency and model agreements provided early revenue. A founder interview describes securing a multimillion-dollar customer in December 2023. Video products and APIs subsequently broadened the offering.
03Marketing and customer acquisition
Decart let people play a free generated world to experience its real-time capability.

Turn compute efficiency into a hands-on experience
SourceStarting from model execution efficiency, Decart released the playable Oasis world. Interaction offered a different evaluation from passively watching a demo video.

How distribution and adoption expanded
SourceOasis gave users a free interactive demonstration of real-time generation. The company reported one million users within 72 hours of its 2024 release. Public experiences introduced the technology alongside direct enterprise sales of the underlying capabilities.

Financing the next stage
SourceDecart raised $300 million at an approximately $4 billion valuation in May 2026. Reported acquisition talks with Anthropic ended in September, so the record does not treat them as a completed sale.
How the growth mechanism works
- Play the free world
- Experience real-time generation
- Share the experience
- Enterprises evaluate the underlying technology
Free users create awareness but are not all buyers. Enterprise infrastructure sales are separate. The failed acquisition talks in 2026 also distinguish technical visibility from a completed company sale.
04Funding and expansion

More about the founding and key events

Its public breakthrough was Oasis in 2024: a free, playable world where AI generates the next scene in response to user input. Decart says it reached one million users in 72 hours. People could experience the technology directly instead of reading a technical pitch. The company subsequently expanded real-time video transformation through Lucy alongside its enterprise infrastructure business. Product timeline
In May 2026, Decart raised $300 million at an estimated $4 billion valuation. Acquisition talks with Anthropic later ended, according to September reporting. It remained an independent company, with founder equity tied to its funded and operating business. Funding, Talks end
