Dream Labs raises $90M to sell robot control through a $3-an-hour API

Dream Labs emerged from stealth on October 19th with a $90 million seed round and Dream-1, a robot-control model offered through a public API at $3 per hour. The startup, co-founded by former NVIDIA researchers Joel Jang and You Liang Tan, says Dream-1 can control unfamiliar bimanual robots without robot-specific training, letting hardware makers buy a general-purpose control layer instead of building a separate policy for each machine. The model's hardware requirements and beta status limit where it can be used.
