## Summary

Dream Labs announced it has completed a $90 million seed round led by B Capital, with participation from Kindred Ventures and others. The company also launched Dream API, which can convert robot camera footage and natural-language instructions directly into motor commands, and said its flagship model Dream-1 is trained on videos of everyday human tasks and can zero-shot control any robot with a gripper.

## Why it matters

Dream-1's cross-hardware zero-shot control and the open approach of Dream API provide a concrete reference for judging the transferability of general-purpose robot models.
