Decart nabs $32M at $500M+ valuation to build AI tech and ‘open world’ apps

AI startup Decart secured $32 million in funding just six weeks after emerging from stealth, pushing its valuation past $500 million.

This AI Warps Live Video in Real Time

Decart has unveiled Mirage, an AI model that warps live video in real time using text prompts - creating surreal, psychedelic transformations like turning a Zoom feed into a gold‑tinged underwater Roman Empire scene.
