Nebius, with NVIDIA Robotics, is running the Physical AI Awards: free to enter and open worldwide, applications close October 25 with winners announced November 18.
The competition spans five categories: Physical AI Models, Perception & Spatial Intelligence, Simulation & Synthetic Data, Systems & Deployment, and Software/Tooling & Orchestration. The author notes that only one of five categories is about models — the rest cover everything required to get a model into the physical world, mirroring this year's funding data where money and hard problems are spread across the stack.
Each category winner receives $150,000 in Nebius AI Cloud credits, executive mentorship, investor introductions, and visibility.
