> We’ve created GEN-1, our latest milestone in scaling robot learning. We believe it to be the first general-purpose AI model that crosses a new performance threshold: mastery of simple physical tasks. It improves average success rates to 99% on tasks where previous models achieve 64%, completes tasks roughly 3x faster than state of the art, and requires only 1 hour of robot data for each of these results.

Taken at face value, this seems like quite an achievement.

As time goes on I watch more and more videos of robots folding laundry faster and faster. Strange to think that one day, maybe not too long from now, people will stop taking videos of robots folding clothes.
