About the job
About the lab
The 1X World Model Lab is an embodied AI research organization focused on pretraining the foundation models to accelerate the emergence of embodied intelligence. As the lab grows, researchers contribute where they have the most leverage, and the problems worth solving span every layer of the stack.
The lab is founded on a simple thesis: robotics is not a fine-tuning problem. To build truly general humanoids, we need to pretrain on the most important data from the very beginning.
Your charter
Advance NEO's intelligence by building the AI systems, infrastructure, and data engines that enable the robot to learn from experience and become increasingly capable in real-world environments.
The key pillars of ai are
Model and Data
Build large multi-modal generative world models that learn from robot experience, spanning model architecture, tokenization, and large-scale training and data processing. Advance the robot's ability to predict, plan, and act in unstructured environments. Simply: good tokens in = good tokens out!
Data Infrastructure and Tooling
Design and operate the data engine that enables training on all visual and robot data. From web-scale media, to egocentric and synthetic data, and most importantly, on-policy NEO data, building large-scale data infrastructure that enables annotation and curation at scale, are crucial to scale up World Model training. Simply: more tokens in = more tokens out!
