Visko launches Orbis live model and closes pre-seed funding round
https://www.therobotreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/orbis-720p.webm To generate video with artificial intelligence, a user typically submits a prompt, waits, and then receives a finished clip that cannot be altered. Visko Platform Inc. today opened public access to Orbis, a foundation model that streams worlds in real time with persistent memory, interactivity, and physics-grounded generation for unlimited duration. The company has also raised $10 million in pre-seed funding led by Llama V
A startup has launched Orbis, a foundation model that generates video continuously in real time rather than producing finished clips, with the ability to change prompts mid-generation while the video keeps streaming. Unlike conventional video generation systems that process entire clips at once, Orbis generates video frame-by-frame in a streaming fashion similar to how large language models predict tokens one at a time, delivering 4K video at 24 frames per second while maintaining physical consistency for hour-long durations. The company raised $10 million in pre-seed funding and claims this technology could enable applications in robotic training, simulation, and generating test footage for autonomous systems. The capability represents a shift toward AI systems that run continuously and respond interactively rather than simply processing requests and returning finished outputs.

Runway’s Praxis-1 world action model for robotics is now available
Praxis-1 builds on Runway’s work as a founding member of the Cosmos Coalition, advancing open world models for physical AI. | Source: Runway Runway AI Inc. yesterday released Praxis-1, its world action model for robotics. The model is now available to developers with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. Runway first announced Praxis-1 in September with launch partners including Noble Machines, Standard Bots, and Ultra. Since then, these companies have been running the model on their own ha
Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI. Google says Gemini 4 Carbon "pushes the frontier even further" than Argon, referring to the company's other frontier model that launched only last month. The company said Argon will likely
Gemini 4 Carbon is now available
The latest version aims to deliver improved performance while reducing the computational resources and energy required for AI operations.
Google Launches Gemini Decisions API With Gemini Decision 1 at $0.10/M Tokens
Google has launched the Gemini Decisions API, powered by a new model, Gemini Decision 1 (gemini-decision-1). The Gemini Decisions API does not generate text. It scores up to 1,000 typed questions against one shared input and returns calibrated probabilities. For developers, this targets the small branching calls inside agents: routing, policy checks, tool selection and grading. Google prices it at $0.10 per 1M input tokens, with zero output tokens billed. TL;DR Size: Context is 262,144 t
