Dream Labs is hiring! Check out our open positions: dreamlabs.ai/careers/
Referrals are very welcome — please share with your amazing friends!
I’ll also be at CoRL (Nov 9–12). If you’re interested, let’s chat in person!

Robot autonomously steered by AI in the cloud.
At the Long Horizon Summit, @Ryan_Resolution showed me an compelling demo of MakerMods arms being controlled by Dream Lab's latest world-action model through a public API.

This is gonna be a really good robotics hackathon. High quality hardware from @makermodsai + Dream-1 from @dreamlabs_ai + voice interface & orchestration with @livekit Agents will be a killer combo.
We're hosting a huge Physical AI hackathon.
We’ve run robotics hackathons before but this one is different:
Bimanual Metal Arm and Maker Arm Stations
Fine Tune Dream-1, this is not another ACT competition
New Hill Climb leaderboard format
Two tracks: push your robot up the live eval leaderboard. Or build the creative, most useful robot application you can think of.
Partnering with @dreamlabs_ai @livekit @huggingface @nvidia @_lightcompany @mirdainsystems
November 7–8. San Francisco.
Co-hosted with Founders Inc @fdotinc
Come build with us: luma.com/pah

Excited for this! Instead of spending hours collecting data and making it work for ACT for a single task, this hackathon focuses on building applications and delivering value thanks to the zero shot capabilities of dream-1. Register y'all!!

At @calhacks, a team we sponsored gave Claude the ability to PinPoint all the issues in your circuit 🔌
an MCP server drives the @makermodsai Maker Arm across the test bench to turn the multimeter, probe pins, and report back

Our @DeftRobo robots have helped build ~20,000 Tesla Model 3/Ys.
Bought one recently? Our robots likely handled its parts.
Production-deployed at a Tier 1, on robot foundation models + our deployment infra:
- 700 parts/day
- 24 hrs/day
- 100% uptime
Next: triple-digit robots

Introducing ZeroShot 🎯
AutoFAB's AI model for Robot Agent Loops
Reasons through new tasks from first principles, right on the robot
Then runs on repeat from memory, faster and cheaper
Available today: autofab.net

Dear algo, please show this tweet only to founders bellow 200 followers building cool shit

Robots are getting better at completing tasks. But what happens when they make a mistake?
We fine-tuned π₀.₅ on two real-world manipulation tasks to showcase whether recovery demonstrations can improve policy reliability more effectively than additional successful demonstrations. 🧵
Ryan Chan retweeted
tired of packing up your tools after using them? just get @dreamlabs_ai dream-1 and the @makermodsai metal arm to do it
Ryan Chan retweeted
Robot metal arms from MakerMods have arrived and assembling them with @willwarren onto our coffee table. Excited to train it and learn a lot!
Ryan Chan retweeted
These guys are really forward forward deployed @makermodsai @IsaacSin12 @Ryan_Resolution 🤯
Thanks for the unboxing experience time to benchmark tf out of you 😊

Humanoid hardware is like iPhone 1 right now. Shitty but usable by enthusiasts
2026-2028 we will get to IPhone 4 level. Usable but lowkey missing ecosystem and software (intelligence) polish
By then low-hanging fruits like overheating on regular use, unreasonable inaccuracies/jitter will be solved. It no longer bottlenecks basic deployment.
From then onwards it’s a loooooong tail of intelligence, hardware, ecosystem improvements. Its going to be a marathon.

We just served 1.5M inference calls across 400 cities and 60 countries in the 4 days since launch! Thank you all for the support!
Let Dream-1 control your robot today ☁️ dreamlabs.ai/
