Ahead of launch, robocurve independently evaluated Dreamlabs' robot control model Dream-1, reporting a new Pareto frontier: 16x cheaper and 1.7x faster than the previous best alternative, with better performance (59 vs 48 on RoboDojo-RC Tier 1).
The thesis: LLMs can plan, but robots still need a cheap, fast, general System 1 to act. Boosters note it is already available to try.
