Today, our data is used for robotics and world modeling, but the broader opportunity is advancing scientific research into intelligence itself.\n\nFounded by Stanford and UC Berkeley researchers, we are lean, deeply technical, and operate at extreme speed, taking on unglamorous and conventionally impossible problems that directly unlock step-function gains in model capability.\n\nThe deployment of capable humanoids at scale will permanently redefine human labor.
