- Dream Labs, founded by ex-NVIDIA researchers including Scott Reed, is out of stealth with Dream-1, a "World Action Model" that learns how the world moves from video and uses that to decide how robots act.
- Dream-1 is available today through a public API at $3/hour, and reportedly controls bimanual robots with unseen parallel grippers zero-shot, on unseen tasks in unseen environments — no retraining from scratch.
- Industry figures with NVIDIA ties praised the team and the zero-shot generalization across embodiments.
