1X Unveils Paradigm Shift In Humanoid AI: NEO’s Starting to Learn On Its Own

 

- Daniel Ho, AI Researcher, 1X

 

Demonstrations in 1X’s latest video showcase NEO's ability to generalize beyond training data. For simple prompts like packing a lunch box, NEO visualizes and executes fluidly, even with unfamiliar objects. More impressively, NEO handles completely novel tasks, such as operating a toilet seat, opening a sliding door, ironing a shirt, brushing a human's hair and more without any prior examples in its dataset. This highlights the transfer of broad human knowledge through the World Model.

 

The Flywheel Toward Self-Teaching Robots

Where traditional AI models for humanoid robots have depended on data collected by human operators, the 1X World Model enables NEO to collect its own data and master new capabilities autonomously. This paradigm shift opens the door for robots to teach themselves anything—accelerating the path to general-purpose humanoids that learn continuously from experience.

 

Humanoid AI Capabilities Scaling Alongside Video Models

Where improvement in AI capabilities for humanoids have long been bottlenecked by the speed in which robot data can be collected by human operators, the 1X World Model doesn’t only self improve from NEO collecting it’s own data but benefits from the improvement of video models given the world model uses a video model at its core.

 

Robust Performance in Dynamic and Unpredictable Environments

Traditional models have historically struggled with changes in lighting, clutter, or chaos that is commonplace in the home. The 1X World Model applies human-like understanding to navigate extreme variability, maintaining composure amid rapid environmental shifts. NEO is now able to generate and execute actions across countless scenarios, a first of its kind development in the humanoid space.
