Agora-1 turns the N64 classic GoldenEye into a playable AI simulation for four players

Key Points

AI lab Odyssey has released Agora-1, a world model that lets up to four players interact simultaneously in an AI-generated GoldenEye environment.

Agora-1 separates simulation and rendering: one model continuously calculates the shared game state, while a second renders an individual perspective for each player in real time.

Odyssey also introduced the interactive audio-video model Starchild-1. The company sees future uses for both technologies in AI agent training and collaborative robotics.

AI lab Odyssey has released Agora-1, a world model that lets up to four players move through an AI-generated game world at the same time. The test environment is the Nintendo 64 classic GoldenEye.

Agora-1 is one of the first multi-agent world simulations. Until now, world models were mostly limited to a single active player. Agora matches up to four players into a shared deathmatch simulation where everyone interacts with the same generated world. Everything they see is created in real time by Agora-1. The model acts as a learned game engine.

Unlike video generators such as OpenAI's Sora or Google's Veo 3, Agora-1 doesn't spit out a fixed clip. Instead, it continuously simulates a game state and renders a separate perspective for each player. Odyssey splits this into two parts: simulation and rendering. One model learns from the game's internal state how the world changes based on player actions.

A second, diffusion-based model learns to turn that shared state into visuals. Because the state is managed explicitly, Agora-1 can also generate new levels without losing the source game's mechanics.

Earlier multi-agent approaches like Multiverse or Solaris struggled mainly when players lost sight of each other, according to Odyssey. Agora-1 aims to deliver consistent views of the same world from multiple angles.
