We are back. After one year of quiet building. Introducing GENE-26.5, our first robotic brain that takes a major step toward human-level capability. For years, robotics has struggled to learn from the world’s largest and valuable data source: Humans. Solving it means rethinking the whole stack from the ground up: - A robotics-native foundation model. - A 1:1 human-like robotic hand. - A noninvasive data collection glove for motion, force, and touch. - A simulator that turns weeks of experiments into minutes. GENE-26.5 is trained across language, vision, proprioception, tactile, and action. We designed a set of tasks to test how far we can go with this new paradigm. Fully autonomous, 1x speed, one model, same weights. (Enjoy with sound on) We are approaching the endgame for robotics. And this is just a beginning.

Unilever is acquiring fast-growing VMS brand Grüns for an undisclosed sum. Founded in 2023 by Chad Janis, Grüns has become one of the largest brands in the U.S. Greens Supplement category. The company has also expanded into new categories like immunity, children’s nutrition, and pre-workout supplements. Grüns reached a $500M valuation 11 months ago. Investors in Grüns include Headline, Selva Ventures, Vanterra Ventures, Sugar Capital, and others. Unilever recently divested its massive food division in order to focus on beauty, wellness, and personal care.
