We just did World’s first on-stage autonomous demo of long-horizon dexterous VLA 🚨
No training. No setup. Performance out of the box. Live demo is hard and unpredictable, but we felt great about our model’s generalization, and it went pretty well!
💯 Zero-shot. 100% success.

🧠For the first time, a general-purpose foundation model is performing diverse daily tasks at commercial scale, across various environments. All in real life. We're seeing true generalization emerge as our robot enters a new environment, no extra data, it just works - out of box

🦾In year one, we:
• Shipped DYNA-1 (generalized robotics foundation model)
• Ran real-life pilots across laundry, restaurants, hotels, gyms in <90 days
• Observed 99% success in a 24-hour non-stop run

Excited to be doubling down on Alpine Eagle less than two years after leading their pre-seed. Jan & Timo are changing the nature of C-UAS by building a scalable air to air platform. Europe needs to innovate and adapt to protect itself, and it can. techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/al…

We are doubling down on methane mitigation!
Excited to announce that a year after raising their pre-seed round led by HCVC, atmio is announcing a 5.1m round to fight climate change by finding, fixing, and reporting methane leaks.
The startup, which is based in Hamburg, will use the capital to grow its team and work towards going to market. sifted.eu/articles/atmio-met…
