We built a robotics data engine with Astra-level performance at 125x lower cost. And we are open-sourcing the weights today! Introducing Flora, a suite of open models to parse the physical world and turn raw footage into rich training signals. Flora already powers our in-house data engine, labeling 200K hours of videos a day on 500 GPUs. We created it to scale the frontier for robot learning. Now you own the weights too. Flora gives you: - High-quality, timestamped captions to curate and filter human egocentric and robot data; - Dense progress rewards for quality control and RL post-training; - Rubrics scoring for real-world benchmarking Try it today, links in thread:

Today, Dream Labs is coming out of stealth with Dream-1, a robot foundation model that controls bimanual robots it has never seen, on tasks it was never shown, in places it has never been, from $3/hour. Dream API is live for everyone, today. 🧵

Announcing the beta release of the Pi API. We’ve partnered with companies across diverse industries to adapt our models to their robots and applications, from harvesting strawberries to assembling servers. Now we’re opening access to more teams.

Introducing Natura-1, our first general foundation model for the physical world. It follows natural-language instructions zero-shot and turns them into action with dexterous hands. Natura-1 is a 50-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model pretrained on one million hours of egocentric human experience. On top of this foundation, we conduct efficient post-training on a limited amount of robot data to adapt pretrained world knowledge to dexterous manipulation, yielding a model that generalizes to a wide range of unseen scenarios. Natura-1 follows complex natural-language instructions zero-shot, reasoning through spatial constraints, multi-object relationships, and negative conditions. It can also autonomously carry out long and continuous workflows to perform long-horizon executions. Natura-1 provides early evidence that generalization—and even emergent behavior—can coexist with the complexity of dexterous hands. Further progress depends on the full stack: infrastructure for faster training and real-time inference, pretraining data at greater scale and coverage, and models that transfer to robots with less adaptation. We expect it to be a long-term research and engineering effort.
