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 retweeted
Run Verne V0.5 today via our API.
Thank you for releasing as open-weights @VerneRobotics !
Verne retweeted
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.
Verne retweeted
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!

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!
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.

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.

Your robot shouldn’t need better Wi-Fi.
Today @VerneRobotics released V0.5, its open-weight robot model.
On Change Order, @neil_nie_ explains why Verne runs inference on the robot—and how real deployment constraints shape the product.

OPEN SOURCE. OPEN WEIGHTS. CAN’T LOSE.
new @VerneRobotics release:
🧠 open weights for V0.5, their top US-made OS robot model
🛠️ a fine-tuning platform to teach tasks in <2 hours
✋ DIY grippers to collect your own data
need a deep seek moment for US robotics!!! 👇
Verne retweeted
exciting moment for physical AI, Verne just dropped an open weight model trained on 1.7M demonstrations
it’s the top performing open weight model on robotics model benchmarks
fine tune with V0.5 OS or let Verne deploy their stack for you 🦾

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.
Verne retweeted
Verne is quietly shipping sensors, models, and robots straight from San Francisco
data collection and autonomy achievable in *hours*

We train our own foundation models at @VerneRobotics, and scaling them like this would have been almost inconceivable for us before the @ycombinator × @togethercompute partnership.
To truly democratize physical AI, we also have to democratize access to compute.
We’ve loved working with @togethercompute and are excited to keep scaling together as we push the frontier of physical AI and build foundation models that deliver real value for our customers.
Compute has always been core to the @VerneRobotics story.
Getting there meant negotiating long, expensive contracts with big neoclouds, and projecting compute needs years into the future. Verne wasn't ready for that.
Then came the @ycombinator cluster, built on Together AI. Verne trained a model 3x larger, on almost 100x more data.
More data in, bigger foundation models out.

1/ QUESTION: what is a century-old industry that out-precisions human laborers by 5x and has reduced manufacturing injuries by >60%?
INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS
today, industrial robotics is a tiny market. we explore why this gap exists, and why it is finally closing.
Verne retweeted
One of the hardest problems in robotics is the deployment gap: the last mile from lab demo to real-world deployment.
Over the past two weeks, the Verne Van has been rolling through SoCal customer sites to close that gap. With just a few hours of onsite data, the robot adapted to the customer’s workflow and began autonomously packing boxes of fabric bolts.
That speed and generalization is made possible because of how we build: vertically integrated physical AI. We own the full autonomy stack: data collection, model training, and deployment with continual learning so we can iterate quickly with customers and turn real-world edge cases into better robot behavior.
This is made possible by the relentless work of the Verne Team.
It’s been an exciting 2026 for @VerneRobotics, and we cannot wait to share more of what we have been building.
If you run a logistics warehouse and are still bottlenecked by manual pick-and-pack, come talk to us. We would love to show how Verne’s dexterous robot arms and powerful mobile bases can help improve your operations!
