Intelligence that fits
The intelligence layer for every robot.
Efficient, on-device, real-time control on existing hardware.
The bet
Intelligence belongs on-device.
The field scaled models up. We think the next unlock is making them fit: putting real-time control on the robot itself, where latency, cost, and reliability decide whether robots work in the real world.
This is what that looks like:
- Runs on a Jetson, or even bare CPU. No GPU per robot, no cloud roundtrip.
- At fleet scale, an order-of-magnitude swing on both cost and latency.
- Shippable on the hardware that 99% of real-world robots actually live on.
What we ship
Our first model: open, compact, and ready to run.
We build in the open. The first model is a compact VLA, served through a hosted API and released for anyone to inspect and run. The benchmarks and findings live in the research. It's the first step toward a broader robotics intelligence stack.
- A compact Vision-Language-Action model, fully open source.
- Served through a simple hosted API.
- Best-performing model in its class on the LIBERO benchmark.
The model is the beginning; the company is the platform around it. The work extends to world models, quantization, and beyond. See the research →
About
A research-first team, building in the open.
Verapulse builds the intelligence layer for embodied AI: efficient models that put real-time control on the robot itself, on the hardware it already runs. We believe intelligence belongs on-device, where latency, cost, and reliability determine whether robots can scale beyond the lab. We're a research-first team building in the open, and we're hiring.
- Open-source research and releases
- Public benchmarks and reproducible results
