GEN-1.5 is an embodied foundation model from Generalist AI, a company building general intelligence for the physical world. Per the vendor, it can learn a new task in-context from as little as 12 seconds of demonstration data, or adapt with 1 to 10 gradient steps on a few minutes of data. These abilities are attributed to pretraining on large-scale physical experience.
A YouTube creator summary reports 59% success across 10 tasks in the one-shot setting, rising to 83% with about 5 minutes of additional data. These figures come from a secondary source and were not verified against a primary paper. The predecessor, GEN-1, is described as supporting a broad range of end effectors, so one model can transfer across different robot hands and grippers.
GEN-1.5 is a research and product model, not a publicly downloadable release. No public API, pricing, weights or documentation were found. Access appears to be through direct engagement with Generalist.
