About Moving Atoms

Moving Atoms is building world models trained on internet scale video: models that accurately predict physical interactions and are conditioned on robot actions. Our first model, Atom 1, already tops the Physics IQ benchmark. An exceptional world model is what makes an exceptional robot model possible, and that's phase two. LLMs were unlocked by the trillions of text tokens sitting free on the internet. We believe robotics gets unlocked a similar way, by the latent physics information in online video content.
