## Common questions

### What is GENE-26.5?

AI foundation model purpose-built for robotics, designed to absorb massive amounts of data and enable robots to perform complex, long-horizon tasks with human-level dexterity. Demonstrated cooking, lab experiments, wire harnessing, Rubik's Cube solving, and piano playing.

### How much does GENE-26.5 cost?

GENE-26.5's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for GENE-26.5 from Genesis AI. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.

### Is GENE-26.5 actually deployed in the real world?

GENE-26.5 is at the pilot stage: a trial is reported, but no deployment is yet verified at a named site on the DEPLOY registry. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.

### Who makes GENE-26.5?

GENE-26.5 is made by Genesis AI, based in Paris, France, founded in 2024.

### Can you buy GENE-26.5?

GENE-26.5 is in pilot deployments with named customers and is not yet broadly for sale.

### What are alternatives to GENE-26.5?

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable other robots to GENE-26.5 include TerraFirma Semi-Autonomous Construction Equipment, Clean Water Pathfinder, RecycleOS, August Robotics Drilling Robot.

### How does GENE-26.5 compare to TerraFirma Semi-Autonomous Construction Equipment?

GENE-26.5 and TerraFirma Semi-Autonomous Construction Equipment (TerraFirma · 3 deployments) are both other robots on the DEPLOY registry. GENE-26.5 has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

### What is GENE-26.5's maturity stage?

GENE-26.5 is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified.

### Where is GENE-26.5 deployed?

No verified deployments of GENE-26.5 are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
