PhysBrain 1.5 sets new open-source SOTA in embodied AI

PhysBrain 1.5 is a new open-source embodied AI model that unifies physical environment understanding, action generation, and future state prediction. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on 28 embodied understanding benchmarks, matching proprietary models like GPT-6-ASTRA and Gemini 3.6 Flash. The model is trained autoregressively on discrete sequences of vision-language, motion, and visual targets, leveraging human interaction videos for pre-training and fine-tuning with demonstrations, robot trajectories, and simulated experience.
