# 1X World Model, brain

1X Technologies' generative world model plus VLA stack powering NEO, the consumer-home humanoid shipping via preorder. The world model enables learning by predicting outcomes versus exhaustive pre-programming. Combined with VLA control for action generation. Important verified-vs-claimed flag: NEO home capabilities are teleoperated-assisted; the autonomy-vs-teleoperation distinction is the load-bearing consumer verification point.

## Key facts

- **DEPLOY maturity rationale:** Powers NEO, the consumer-home humanoid shipping via preorder. Early-commercial, not at-scale production
- **VERIFIED-VS-CLAIMED autonomy flag:** NEO home capabilities are teleoperated-assisted; the autonomy-vs-teleoperation distinction is the critical consumer verification point
- **World model announced:** January 2026
- **Funding context:** OpenAI-backed
- **NEO commercial terms:** $20K outright or $499/month, expected approximately Q3 2026
- **Powered-models flagged:** 1X EVE (not in registry as model entity)
