Dream Labs

San Francisco, United States

Dream Labs is a US company based in San Francisco that develops models for controlling robots. Its first product is Dream-1 — a World Action Model that, given a camera image, the robot's current state and a task description, returns the actions the robot should execute. The model generalizes zero-shot to previously unseen environments, tasks and even new robots, and is offered through a public API (Dream API) and a fine-tuning-as-a-service offering. The technology stems from the DreamZero paper (February 2026), which introduced World Action Models built on a video diffusion backbone. The company came out of stealth in October 2026, announcing $90M in seed funding. Dream Labs provides the robot's 'brain' rather than its 'body' — Dream-1 runs on the bimanual YAM setup and on popular, low-cost arms already available on the market.
