Overview
New York-based AI research lab spun out of Medal (the gaming clip-sharing platform) that trains foundation models for physical AI using action-labeled video game data. The company builds both action models (which decide what actions to take) and world models (which predict outcomes of actions), betting that gameplay clips with embedded controller inputs provide a scalable training signal for embodied AI. Its models have been demonstrated controlling both virtual game agents and physical quadrupedal robots.
