Physical Intelligence demonstrated "physical prompt steerability" in its S1 robot: four different video prompts induce four distinct behaviors in the same kitchen, including out-of-distribution tasks like putting a plate in a toaster. Sequoia notes this points to robots that learn from a single demonstration and reason from context — key to real-world usefulness.
