Verne builds general‑purpose physical AI. We deploy robots to expand the productive capacity of the physical world.

Introducing V0.5, Verne’s open-weight world action model for industrial robots.

We believe democratizing robotics starts with making frontier foundation models open to everyone.

Bringing robots to every industry will take many teams, building on shared progress across many workflows.

V0.5 is the leading US-made open-weight model on LIBERO and RoboTwin 2.0 benchmarks.

We hope you’ll join us in putting V0.5 to work.

LLMs like the newly released Claude Fable 5.2 are making tremendous progress on robotics tasks.

There’s a powerful synergy between System II reasoning and planning, and System I fast, responsive execution. V0.5 is designed to work alongside VLMs and LLMs.

In this demo for one of our customers, GPT-6 Astra plans how to pack a makeup bag, and V0.5 executes the skills: picking the products, packing them, and zipping the bag closed.

As foundation models become better planners, we’re building V0.5 to turn that intelligence into fast, reactive action.

Thank you @pentestduck and the @DreamscaleLabs team for becoming the first inference provider to host @VerneRobotics's models!

We are working hard to release additional checkpoints on @DreamscaleLabs beyond the benchmark checkpoints. Really excited for the community to try our models!

[Dreamscale Labs (YC F26) @DreamscaleLabs]

Run Verne V0.5 today via our API.

Thank you for releasing as open-weights @VerneRobotics !

Full-body manipulation is essential for industrial work. Robots need to coordinate both arms and a mobile base to reach, pick, and move loads.

Many open-weight manipulation models still focus on tabletop tasks.

V0.5 handles this full-body grocery handling workflow autonomously, from loading the cart to pulling the cart away.

[Neil Nie @neil_nie_]

This embodiment was never seen in pretraining. We collected a small amount of data on this contact-rich assembly task, fine-tuned V0.5, and rolled out the policy in just 1.5 days.

V0.5 is an embodiment-agnostic model. If your team is looking to deploy robots, try V0.5!

Open-weight foundation models are critical for deploying robots. Teams deploying robots need the freedom to adapt models to their own hardware, tasks, and environments. Excited to see @VerneRobotics pushing this forward.
Congrats @neil_nie_ on the release!

A team of 11 in San Francisco just released an open-weight world action model with benchmark results beating π0.5, according to Verne.

Verne's V0.5 brings that to industrial robots, and the weights are open.

That lowers the barrier for every factory and robotics startup out there.

Here's what Verne @VerneRobotics just released:

• A fine-tuning platform to teach robots new industrial tasks
• V0.5, an open-weight world action model
• Built for industrial robots
• The leading US-made open-weight model on LIBERO and RoboTwin 2.0, according to Verne
• Free for research teams to build on

Big step for robotics.

Your robot shouldn’t need better Wi-Fi.

Today @VerneRobotics released V0.5, its open-weight robot model.

On Change Order, @neil_nie_ explains why Verne runs inference on the robot—and how real deployment constraints shape the product.

OPEN SOURCE. OPEN WEIGHTS. CAN’T LOSE.

new @VerneRobotics release:
🧠 open weights for V0.5, their top US-made OS robot model

🛠️ a fine-tuning platform to teach tasks in <2 hours

✋ DIY grippers to collect your own data

need a deep seek moment for US robotics!!! 👇

[Kelly Greer @kellyjgreer]

exciting moment for physical AI, Verne just dropped an open weight model trained on 1.7M demonstrations

it’s the top performing open weight model on robotics model benchmarks

fine tune with V0.5 OS or let Verne deploy their stack for you 🦾

[Verne @VerneRobotics]

What will you teach V0.5?

Bring us the work you want robots to do. Verne helps you finetune V0.5 on your own demonstrations, and deploy with our team to get it running in production.

We expect in-context learning to improve rapidly in the near future.

Today, we believe few-shot adaptation through fine-tuning is still key to delivering value: collect a small set of demonstrations of your task, then adapt the model to the work you need done.

[Verne @VerneRobotics]

Our robots have been learning. Can't wait to share what we've been building soon!

[Verne @VerneRobotics]

@IlirAliu_ Thank you @IlirAliu_!
