Image created with gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview with claude-sonnet-4-5. Image prompt: Using the provided reference image, preserve the exact compositional structure with subject dominating left third in close-crop profile, deep blue-purple cinematic lighting, wispy atmospheric smoke bleeding right, and emotional gravity throughout, but replace the human figure with a humanoid industrial robot arm or torso in a downcast, exhausted pose with head slightly bowed, metallic chrome surface catching scattered glitter like factory dust, maintaining the melancholy post-shift stillness and bittersweet mood, with ‘robots’ in thin lowercase white Helvetica Neue Light overlaid on the right two-thirds smoke.
We’re excited to be rolling out two model updates today! Marble 1.1: Improves lighting and contrast, with a major reduction in visual artifacts. Marble 1.1-Plus: Our new model built for scale. Create larger, more complex environments than ever before.

Robotics pre-training *from scratch* has been a heretical idea for the last two years. That “there’s no internet of robotics data” has led to two prevailing conclusions: 1) we need to use pretrained model backbones and 2) we need to scale robotics data. The first conclusion in
