You’ve got 33k followers but only follow 98 people, either you’re training your robots to pick friends for you, or you’re saving follows for when NEO starts tweeting better content than you do.

Launched NEO from concept to product-level buzz: a viral announcement that reached millions, turned humanoid research into shippable product messaging, and drove strong audience engagement and preorders for @1x_tech.

To accelerate a more abundant future by making intelligent, safe humanoid robots a practical part of everyday life, shipping breakthroughs, inspiring adoption, and setting the bar for responsible productization of advanced tech.

Believes that bold product launches move culture and tech forward; that originality and taste matter ('imitation is flattery, taste is hard to fake'); and that robots must learn among humans while being safe and trustworthy. Values speed, responsible engineering, clear messaging, and turning research into real-world utility.

Exceptional at converting research into a compelling product narrative and generating viral launch momentum; authoritative founder presence; strong visuals and concise messaging that attract high engagement and preorders.

Can read as heavily launch- and product-centric (risking perceived hype), follows very few people (echo chamber risk), and posts relatively infrequently, which can limit two‑way community building and ongoing engagement between big announcements.

Grow on X by mixing megareleases with consistent, smaller content: post regular behind‑the‑scenes threads (engineering wins, day-in-the-lab videos), host X Spaces AMAs with engineers, stitch/quote tweets from users testing NEO, reply more directly to top commenters, pin a clear product + roadmap thread, and run occasional polls or short demos to turn curious viewers into repeat engagers and customers.

Fun fact: one of Bernt's launch tweets about NEO reached ~6.86 million views and 18,003 likes. He runs @1x_tech, has 33,728 followers, follows just 98 accounts, and has tweeted 244 times.

We’re going all in on World Models. Today we’re launching the 1X World Model Lab. The bet is simple: You can’t fine-tune your way to AGI. And you definitely can’t fine-tune your way to robots that can operate in the physical world. General-purpose humanoids need models that understand space, motion, objects, causality, affordances, physics, and action before they ever see a specific task. The frontier is not better VLA wrappers. The frontier is embodied world models. The 1X World Model Lab will focus on large-scale embodied world model pretraining: building the most generalizable foundation model for humanoid robots from the ground up. The next frontier in AI requires scaling: web-scale media + egocentric human videos + sim + dexterous remote operated robot data + on-policy NEO data → real-world deployment for robot data collection and RL → abundance of data → physical AI The robot collects data. The model gets better. The robot gets better. Repeat. To lead this, we brought in one of the best for the mission: @_sam_sinha_ , as Head of World Models. Sam was a founding research scientist at Luma AI and has been at the frontier of scaling multimodal generative video models his whole career. If you’re the best in the world at large-scale pretraining, video models, robotics, RL, infra, or data — and you want your models to move atoms, not just pixels — join us. Send background + evidence of exceptional ability to: wmlab@1x.tech We’re building the model that makes autonomous labor real.
