Perceptron released Isaac 0.5, an open-source 36B-parameter sparse embodied foundation model claiming frontier multimodal video understanding, embodied reasoning and robot control. Trained on 35+ embodiments, 100K hours of robot data, 1M hours of video and 3T tokens, it introduces a data-mix scaling law: scaling general video from 1K to 1M hours cut required teleoperation data from 5,900 to 28 hours. Repetitive tasks like box packing fine-tune reliably with 30 episodes. Weights and paper are public.
