In the news
Skild AI introduces S1, a robotics model that learns tasks from a video demonstration
Skild AI introduced S1 on August 18, 2026, describing it as a robotics foundation model built from the ground up as an in-context learner: tasks are specified by a video demonstration rather than by language, with no fine-tuning or post-training. Skild says the same weights produced every example in its post and that S1 is already at work with its commercial partners, and the post invites sign-ups for early access. The post does not say that S1's weights or code are released.

U.S. eligibility
Eligible · basis: U.S. headquarters
Skild AI's July 2025 press release is datelined Pittsburgh, and its boilerplate says the company has offices in Pittsburgh and the San Francisco Bay Area; the April 2026 Zebra acquisition release is datelined Pittsburgh and Lincolnshire, Illinois. Technical.ly describes Skild AI as Pittsburgh-based and East Liberty-based, with offices in San Mateo, California, and Bengaluru. No official page reviewed uses the word "headquarters", and many current listings on its job board are in San Mateo, California, but both main offices are in the United States. Skild describes its February 2026 Bengaluru office as its first expansion beyond the U.S.789105
