UnifoLM

Architecture

Unitree's open-source unified-large-model series for general-purpose robot learning across multiple embodiments. UnifoLM-WMA-0 (world-model–action): a world model of robot–environment physical interaction, used both as a simulation engine for synthetic data and as a policy-enhancement head that predicts future environmental states (video prediction translated into limb actions). UnifoLM-VLA-0 (vision–language–action): a VLA for general-purpose humanoid manipulation, built on a UnifoLM-VLM base. Open-sourced on Unitree's GitHub (WMA-0 Sept 2025; VLA-0 Jan 2026).

Key facts

Open-source

UnifoLM-WMA-0 (world-model-action) open-sourced Sept 2025; UnifoLM-VLA-0 (vision-language-action, code+weights) Jan 29, 2026, on Unitree's official GitHub.

Powers (verified)

Unitree G1 integrates UnifoLM-WMA-0 (vision+language+action), per Yicai Global (Sept 16, 2025); G1 is the named real-robot platform for UnifoLM-VLA-0.

Series

UnifoLM-WMA-0 (world-model-action) + UnifoLM-VLA-0 (vision-language-action); designed for multiple robotic embodiments / general-purpose robot learning.

Wiring scope

Wired to G1 only. R1 and H1 left unwired, no primary source names them as UnifoLM platforms (honest absence over inferred presence).

DEPLOY maturity rationale

Open-source research release powering research-tier G1; classified research (brain), not commercial.
