we usually put robots to the test. today, it’s our logo’s turn @OpenAIDevs

We’re launching Asim (YC F26) to help robotics teams find failures before deployment.

A robot completes a task perfectly. Can it handle an unfamiliar object, reason about how parts fit together, or recover when an interaction goes wrong?

We’re building standardized benchmarks for physical intelligence. We test real robots through repeatable scenarios that probe the capabilities behind successful actions: spatial reasoning, understanding physical interactions, dexterous manipulation and adaptation.

Teams can identify where performance breaks down, get actionable engineering feedback and measure whether the next software update actually improves it.

Asim. Benchmarking physical intelligence.

See you on Thursday 👀

[Tristan Lecourtois @tristanlecourt]

We’re in YC Fall 2026! 🇺🇸

Two months ago: a hackathon in Paris.
Today: co-founders heading to SF

We’re building @asim_group to put safety and alignment at the core of robotics.

Safe Robots. Fewer people harmed!
