Today, Dream Labs is out of stealth.

In February 2026, while we were at NVIDIA, @scott_e_reed @youliangtan @GeYunhao and I started calling a new kind of robot model a World Action Model, one that learns how the world moves from video, then uses that to decide how to act.

Today, we’re releasing Dream-1 through a public API that anyone in the world can use.

When you rent a car you’ve never driven, you don’t learn to drive all over again. Within a few minutes, it feels like your own. Robots should work the same way: a good model should be able to pick up a new robot and get to work, without being retrained from scratch.

That’s what we’ve spent the last 6 months on, and it’s what Dream-1 does. It controls bimanual robots with parallel grippers it has never seen before, zero-shot, on unseen tasks in unseen environments.

Generalization has been my North Star in robotics: first by distilling video world models into VLAs (DreamGen), then by learning to act from those world models directly (DreamZero), and now by transferring across robots (Dream-1). I’ve come to believe it’s the only direction that lasts. Pushing a narrow model from 90% to 99.9% on a single task is real work, but much of it gets washed away once a model that generalizes arrives.

Since the start of the company we’ve stayed single-minded about generalization.That focus is what got Dream-1 to control robots it was never trained on, on tasks it was never shown. And it’s what makes a public API possible at all: a model that only does one task on one robot can’t serve millions of users.

Dream-1 is still a research beta, and it will make mistakes. But it already drives cars it’s never seen.

Generalization wins in the end, and the end is closer than it looks.

Here’s Dream-1 taking the wheel of a robot it’s never seen. Full details 👇

@elonmusk Well, as the technology on LiDAR has come a long way since Tesla was first introduced, @elonmusk do you see any possible future where Tesla would incorporate some sort of hybrid Camera + LiDAR model?

@CunninghamMarkJ @krishnanrohit Yes, all the native Americans should get the American jobs since all the whites migrated from Europe as immigrants. Totally agree 👍🏻🇺🇸

@MKBHD So you telling me that they are doing this high level of testing and engineering great devices but cannot develop a calculator app for the ipad?
