I finally did something I never thought I would: I vibe‑coded my first app.
Turns out you don’t need to be a techie — just an idea and plain language.
Wild to realise how accessible software has become.
PS: Collage below has screenshots :)

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.
