## Summary

The article argues that, limited by onboard compute and heat dissipation in robot bodies, embodied model inference is shifting to the cloud, and embodied AI MaaS is becoming a new direction. In July 2026, Yuanli Lingji released a general embodied MaaS service; in October, Physical Intelligence launched an invitation-only Pi API Beta; and Dream Labs launched Dream API backed by a $90 million seed round.
