## Common questions

### What is GEN-1?

GEN-1 is Generalist AI's general-purpose embodied foundation model for physical AI, released April 2026. It demonstrates cross-embodiment adaptation across different robot platforms and end effectors — from 5-finger hands to specialized tools — with 10-20x improvement in low-level adaptation to new actuators. Target applications include auto-parts kitting, box folding, consumer electronics packing, and appliance servicing for manufacturing, logistics, and industrial operators.

### How much does GEN-1 cost?

GEN-1's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for GEN-1 from Generalist 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 GEN-1 actually deployed in the real world?

DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment of GEN-1 on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.

### Who makes GEN-1?

GEN-1 is made by Generalist AI, based in San Mateo, California, USA, founded in 2024.

### What are alternatives to GEN-1?

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable other robots to GEN-1 include 10Beauty Manicure System, PillPick, Gravis Autonomous Excavator System, Hadrian Autonomous Factory.

### How does GEN-1 compare to 10Beauty Manicure System?

GEN-1 and 10Beauty Manicure System (10Beauty · 6 deployments) are both other robots on the DEPLOY registry. GEN-1 has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

### Is GEN-1 a top other?

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, GEN-1 ranks in roughly the top 86% of other models tracked by the registry.

### Where is GEN-1 deployed?

No verified deployments of GEN-1 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.
