    Skild AI releases robot foundation model S1, achieving in-context learning through video demonstrations

    Skild AI released the robot foundation model S1, which uses video demonstrations as task prompts and can execute manipulation tasks not seen during training without fine-tuning, with long-horizon tasks lasting up to about 10 minutes. At a pretraining data scale of 100,000 hours, the ICL model achieved a 66% success rate on unseen tasks, compared with 9% for the language-prompted VLA; a single demonstration was equivalent to about 380 post-training demonstrations, and the planting task took 11 minutes from recording the demonstration to autonomous execution. S1 was trained on NVIDIA AI infrastructure and has already been put into use with commercial partners.

    Why it matters: The original article provides comparison figures for ICL and VLA at the same data scale and a deployment timeline, allowing readers to assess the feasibility of the in-context learning approach for manipulation tasks.

    X Square Robot open-sources HOST framework; robots can learn new skills from a 29-second video

    X Square Robot has released and open-sourced the HOST framework, in which a robot can reproduce a new skill after watching an average 29-second human demonstration video, achieving a 62% success rate with only 1/50 the data and 1/500 the learning time of the Pi-0.5 fine-tuning approach. HOST does not imitate human actions frame by frame; instead, it uses visual outcomes as an intermediate language, aligning video with robot execution by task progress rather than time. It adopts a dual-expert MoT architecture, with learning occurring at the inference stage while weights stay frozen, and it retains old skills better than the fine-tuning approach; under lighting and scene changes, the success rate remains above 50%. The paper and code have been open-sourced.
