    FLUX 3 Action is an open-source 7B parameter world action model that achieves first place on the RoboLab benchmark. It outperforms previous models by 6.1 percentage points with 56% fewer parameters and runs 3.95x faster. The model supports fine-tuning for specific robots and tasks and is integrated into LeRobot with deployment on NVIDIA Jetson.

    Introducing FLUX 3 Action. An open weights 7B World Action Model that achieves first place on the RoboLab benchmark. It outperforms the previous best open model by 6.1 percentage points while using 56% fewer parameters and running up to 3.95x faster.⁠⁠ FLUX 3 Action removes the usual trade-off between world action model performance and VLA speed: it still predicts video and actions together, but plans more than twice as far ahead and runs faster per second of robot motion than the strongest open VLA. Teams can fine-tune FLUX 3 Action on their own demonstrations to create policies for a particular robot and task. Together with @nvidia, we also integrated FLUX 3 Action natively into @huggingface's LeRobot, with fine-tuning recipes included and edge deployment on NVIDIA Jetson. Beyond robotics, we’re also seeing promising results training task-specific policies for acting in simulated environments like gaming, controlling a vehicle, computer use, and wherever else a model needs to understand a visual environment and then choose what to do next. FLUX 3 Action builds on the same image, video, and audio pretraining as FLUX 3, but uses a smaller architecture designed for practical deployment. In midtraining, we trained the model to predict actions and future frames together. We’re releasing the weights, code, fine-tuning recipe, benchmarks, and reproducible examples so researchers and developers can build on the model with their own robots, environments, and tasks (see below).

    NVIDIA Cosmos-H-Dreams: Bringing Real-Time Generative Simulation to Surgical Robotics

    NVIDIA introduces Cosmos-H-Dreams, a real-time, action-conditioned generative simulator for surgical robotics. It distills the capabilities of Cosmos-H-Surgical-Simulator into a causal, few-step student model, enabling interactive environments for policy evaluation and synthetic data generation. The system runs on a single NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPU and supports integration with surgical platforms like Versius.

    1X World Model Lab | Established 2026

    1X has launched the 1X World Model Lab, a new research organization dedicated to accelerating the development of fully autonomous humanoids through large-scale embodied world model pretraining. The lab is led by Sam Sinha, a former research scientist at Luma AI, and focuses on integrating diverse data sources to build robust and generalizable models. The initiative aims to close the full learning loop from data curation to real-world deployment.

    Introducing Foresight

    Dexterity introduces Foresight, a world model that enables robots to reason about the physical world, predict outcomes, and act confidently in real environments. Trained on over 100 million autonomous actions in production, Foresight is designed for interpretability, safety, and performance, with capabilities like predictive branching and pragmatic decision-making. It addresses complex tasks like spatial packing and includes a game and API challenge for further exploration.

    Transactable World Models

    Dexterity introduces 'Transactable World Models' as a foundational component for Physical AI, emphasizing interpretability, physics integration, and real-time consistency. The approach treats world models as operators rather than data stores, enabling multi-agent coordination and robust manipulation in complex environments. This contrasts with traditional world models that focus on data compression and replay, lacking causal reasoning and physical grounding.
