The video allows Neo robots to learn new tasks they weren\u2019t previously trained on, according to 1X.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This release comes as 1X is gearing up to release its Neo humanoids into the home. The company opened up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1x.tech\/neo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">preorders for its humanoids<\/a> in October with plans to ship the bots this year. A 1X spokesperson declined to share a timeline of when these bots were shipping or share any information regarding how many have been ordered beyond saying preorders exceeded expectations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter years of developing our world model and making Neo\u2019s design as close to human as possible, Neo can now learn from internet-scale video and apply that knowledge directly to the physical world,\u201d Bernt B\u00f8rnich, founder and CEO of 1X said in a statement. \u201cWith the ability to transform any prompt into new actions \u2014 even without prior examples \u2014 this marks the starting point of Neo\u2019s ability to teach itself to master nearly anything you could think to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saying that the bot can transform any prompt into a new action is a lofty claim and not entirely accurate; you can\u2019t tell a Neo to drive a car and it will suddenly know how to parallel park, for instance. But there is some learning going on. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1X isn\u2019t saying the world model allows today\u2019s Neo bots to do a new task right away from capturing video and being prompted, a company spokesperson clarified. Instead, the bot takes video data linked to specific prompts and then sends that back into the world model. That model is then fed back into the network of bots to give them a better understanding of the physical world and more know-how. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also gives users insight into how Neo is thinking of behaving or reacting to a certain prompt. That kind of behavioral information could help 1X train these models to a point where robots will be able to react to a prompt of something they\u2019ve never done before.<\/p>\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOctober 13-15, 2026\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The robotics company behind the Neo humanoid robot, 1X, has unveiled a new AI model that it says&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":513852,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[229532,691,738,211250,54263,158,67,132,68,229533],"class_list":{"0":"post-513851","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-1x","9":"tag-ai","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-humanoids","12":"tag-neo","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-world-model"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115889650121061842","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
