Simulation is on the critical path to general-purpose robots.

Reality is too slow to scale robot interactions. Simulation lets us scale at the speed of software: evaluation today, reinforcement learning tomorrow.

Bridging the Sim2Real gap requires owning the full stack: system identification, control, compiler, physics, assets, and rendering.

Proud of the cross-functional collab across our global team on Genesis World 1.0 - and excited to open source it to help accelerate progress across the field.

Excited to lead @nectarsocialai’s $30M Series A to build the AI-powered operating system for modern marketing.

I can’t remember the last time I opened a marketing email. 80% of gen Z social media engagement is in the DMs. The convos that actually shape what people buy have moved into DMs, comments, group chats, and creator posts, but brands currently can't reach this surface area at scale.

Ex-Meta cofounders @misbahuz and @farahura are building the system of action to redefine modern marketing, starting with social. Their agents manage 10M+ customer conversations per week across customers like @elfcosmetics and @LiquidDeath. They're collapsing legacy marketing tools, while driving $100M+ of new sales from DMs.

With official data partnerships across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, @Reddit, and @X, Nectar already powers modern marketing for many of the world’s most influential brands and Fortune 500 companies.

As Ekta Chopra, Chief Al Officer at e.l.f. Cosmetics said, "Social is where discovery, decision, and loyalty actually happen. Nectar has combined our customer experience, influencer, social marketing, and insights work into one operating system, lifted response rates 60%, and given us the first clean line from a social conversation to revenue.”

This is a major advancement in robotic reasoning and control. See the video !

[Vinod Khosla @vkhosla]

Robots cracking an egg, slicing tomatoes, cooking an actual omlette, ... pretty unbelievable for 2026! The rate of progress in both hardware and software is awesome.

[Odile Roujol @Odile_Roujol]

Exciting 🤖🦾🦿@gs_ai_ In @TechCrunch! « Of all the physical manipulation tasks showcased in the video below, @theo_gervet’s personal favorite is cooking, because it proves that the robot has been able to complete a long series of difficult tasks » https://t.co/WSH9zpVyXd

[Theophile Gervet @theo_gervet]

Robotics is a systems problem. Every layer matters, and every detail must integrate across the full stack. So bringing real scale to robotics requires building the full stack from the ground up: hardware, data, model, and simulation.

Over the last year, we built a global team with world-class depth across every layer to make this possible.

I’m excited to share GENE-26.5, our first robotics foundation model, and a path to the next level of scale in robotics.

Allbirds’ hard pivot to AI might initially look like a cynical cash grab, but the shoe company’s AI rebrand could also be an escape hatch, Will Gottsegen argues.
