Skild AI (CEO Deepak Pathak) launched S1, a robot foundation model that learns previously unseen long-horizon tasks from a single video demonstration via in-context learning—no weight updates or task-specific post-training required.
- Built and trained on NVIDIA infrastructure (Isaac Lab, Cosmos), spanning synthetic data, training, simulation, and real-world deployment; trained on NVIDIA GPUs, then deployed in factories building more GPUs.
- Hit a $100M annual revenue run rate 10 months after first commercial deployment, with 60+ deployment partnerships across manufacturing, logistics, inspection, security, and food prep.
- Pathak: "learning by experience, not preprogramming" is the step change in robotics.
