Donald Trump ran for President claiming he would be the one to drain the swamp.
Instead, he built a fortress around it, protected it, and fully became king of the swamp.
Lindsey Graham has an F rating for his conservative voting score card and loves war almost as much as Mark Levin.
This is repulsive.
Weโre going all in on World Models.
Today weโre launching the 1X World Model Lab.
The bet is simple:
You canโt fine-tune your way to AGI.
And you definitely canโt fine-tune your way to robots that can operate in the physical world.
General-purpose humanoids need models that understand space, motion, objects, causality, affordances, physics, and action before they ever see a specific task.
The frontier is not better VLA wrappers.
The frontier is embodied world models.
The 1X World Model Lab will focus on large-scale embodied world model pretraining: building the most generalizable foundation model for humanoid robots from the ground up.
The next frontier in AI requires scaling:
web-scale media + egocentric human videos + sim + dexterous remote operated robot data + on-policy NEO data โ real-world deployment for robot data collection and RL โ abundance of data โ physical AI
The robot collects data.
The model gets better.
The robot gets better.
Repeat.
To lead this, we brought in one of the best for the mission: @_sam_sinha_ , as Head of World Models.
Sam was a founding research scientist at Luma AI and has been at the frontier of scaling multimodal generative video models his whole career.
If youโre the best in the world at large-scale pretraining, video models, robotics, RL, infra, or data โ and you want your models to move atoms, not just pixels โ join us.

Weโre building the model that makes autonomous labor real.
