Understand this story
On October 25, 2026, Dream Labs released the world action model Dream-1 and opened a public API. According to a report featured on Hacker News, Dream-1 can, through the public API, control previously unseen dual-arm parallel gripper robots to perform unseen tasks without fine-tuning or demonstration data for that robot; the company also announced that it was ending stealth mode with a $90 million seed round. The report also stated that Dream-1 runs at a cost of $3 per hour, and Dream-1-flash at $2 per hour, returning 1.6 seconds of action per call; if zero-shot performance is insufficient, it can be fine-tuned via FaaS using 5 minutes of robot data. The next day, Robotics & Automation News reported that the $90 million seed round was led by B Capital with participation from Kindred Ventures and others, and stated that Dream-1 currently handles tasks such as tabletop pick-and-place and clothes folding, while support for wheeled mobile robots and dexterous hands is still in subsequent plans. There is currently no further evidenced development.
