Introducing V0.5, Verne’s open-weight world action model for industrial robots. We believe democratizing robotics starts with making frontier foundation models open to everyone. Bringing robots to every industry will take many teams, building on shared progress across many workflows. V0.5 is the leading US-made open-weight model on LIBERO and RoboTwin 2.0 benchmarks. We hope you’ll join us in putting V0.5 to work.

Thank you @pentestduck and the @DreamscaleLabs team for becoming the first inference provider to host @VerneRobotics's models! We are working hard to release additional checkpoints on @DreamscaleLabs beyond the benchmark checkpoints. Really excited for the community to try our models!
Verne V0.5 is now live on Dreamscale! You can now use the V0.5 model in LIBERO and RoboTwin environments through Dreamscale's serverless cloud inference.

Full-body manipulation is essential for industrial work. Robots need to coordinate both arms and a mobile base to reach, pick, and move loads. Many open-weight manipulation models still focus on tabletop tasks. V0.5 handles this full-body grocery handling workflow autonomously, from loading the cart to pulling the cart away.

This embodiment was never seen in pretraining. We collected a small amount of data on this contact-rich assembly task, fine-tuned V0.5, and rolled out the policy in just 1.5 days. V0.5 is an embodiment-agnostic model. If your team is looking to deploy robots, try V0.5! Check out our repo and blog for details: github.com/vernerobotics/v0.… vernerobotics.com/research/v…

Open-weight foundation models are critical for deploying robots. Teams deploying robots need the freedom to adapt models to their own hardware, tasks, and environments. Excited to see @VerneRobotics pushing this forward. Congrats @neil_nie_ on the release!

A team of 11 in San Francisco just released an open-weight world action model with benchmark results beating π0.5, according to Verne. Verne's V0.5 brings that to industrial robots, and the weights are open. That lowers the barrier for every factory and robotics startup out there. Here's what Verne @VerneRobotics just released: • A fine-tuning platform to teach robots new industrial tasks • V0.5, an open-weight world action model • Built for industrial robots • The leading US-made open-weight model on LIBERO and RoboTwin 2.0, according to Verne • Free for research teams to build on Big step for robotics.

We expect in-context learning to improve rapidly in the near future. Today, we believe few-shot adaptation through fine-tuning is still key to delivering value: collect a small set of demonstrations of your task, then adapt the model to the work you need done.

human work generates immense volumes of information. this is the foundation for training the next generation of automated work. our portco @VerneRobotics is building this market, from data ingestion to model to deployed *useful* robots.
The next generation of robots will learn from the physical world. From factory floors to farmers markets, Verne is turning everyday human work into valuable robotics training data. Whether you're looking to automate your operations or monetize the physical data your business generates, we'd love to connect.
