Today we're unveiling SKY 00-1, the first Engineering World Model towards Autonomous Manufacturing. LLMs are great at information retrieval and code, however, the physical world involves geometric and spatial understanding. Designing complex physical objects requires long-horizon planning and latent reasoning, which LLMs weren't built for. We stacked SKY-001 against the top frontier LLMs (GPT-6 Astra, Fable 5.1 etc) and we found that our model is 100x faster and 150x cheaper in CAD and BIM while having higher precision. As a compositional visual world model, SKY-001 lets you "dream" a design before you build it. It explores many designs in parallel, breaks each one down into its smallest components, and reassembles them in 3D, ready to open in CAD tools like Autodesk Fusion. With applications in several industries, SKY-001 is the first step to reimagining engineering firms. 👉 Join the frontier with us and visit our website for early access (link in comments).

SKY-001, the first engineering world model is finally here! - at least 50x faster than the frontier models (got-6 astra etc) - 150x cheaper - higher precision than all the top LLMs Congrats to the team for the hard work! Join our waitlist to hear more 💛

Sam Altman watching a random unknown world model company outperform GPT-6 Astra:

World models are the future for the immense surface areas of the physical world. We are proud to back @spisallyouneed as he builds for the brave new industrial world. Impressive performance vs the frontier models and a lot more news to come.

CAD DESIGN. BUT UP TO 125X FASTER 🤯 and WAY cheaper, too! @skyfallai's new SKY-001 breaks complex objects into components, sketches each part, reconstructs everything in 3D. 18 mths in the making, built by a team from Maluuba's deep learning lab (acq'd by Microsoft Research)

“Sir, the founders of maluuba just dropped an engineering world model that beats gpt-6 astra on cad and bim, runs 125x faster and costs 210x less” we’re cooked.

LLMs are terrible at building real things and everyone in AI knows it. Ask one for a CAD model and you get a pretty 3D blob an engineer can't use. SKY-001 just beat GPT-6 Astra on CAD and BIM: → 51-125x faster → 150-210x cheaper → Higher precision than every frontier model they tested It breaks an object down to the screws, sketches every part, then rebuilds it in order so it opens straight in CAD software. The team behind Maluuba built this. World models are coming for manufacturing next.

Excited to finally share something I’ve been deeply involved in building @skyfallai! Over the past few months, we’ve spent countless hours designing the framework, connecting ideas, and bringing everything together into a working system. It’s been a challenging but incredibly rewarding journey. The result is SKY-001, a world model purpose-built for visual reasoning in engineering. Rather than relying on general-purpose LLMs, we’re exploring a different approach: specialized world models that reason through intermediate visual states, potentially making complex engineering reasoning far more efficient. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished as a team and excited to see where we take it next.

Engineers still spend thousands of hours breaking complex systems into exact CAD parts by hand. A new world model just did it automatically. Prompt or sketch in, a full construction sequence out, with thousands of connected components. 18 months of work from the Maluuba team. Manufacturing is next.

Omg bye bye BIM and autocad and idiotic buildings that suck life out

world models are coming for engineering 👀 @SkyfallAI just released SKY-001, an engineering world model for complex CAD designs. ✓ 100x faster ✓ 150x cheaper than GPT Astra for CAD and BIM ✓ designed for complex, multi-part objects from design to autonomous manufacturing. this is just the beginning. watch the demo 👇🏼

Can’t wait for the next updates! Only getting better from here on out 🚀

Just saw Skyfall’s world model. I can see this opening a lot of doors inside enterprises. LLMs got us this far, but I keep thinking @ylecun might be right about autoregression. At some point, why should agents even need to operate in ways humans can understand?

🚨 Maluuba team's SKY-001 just beat GPT-6 Astra on CAD at 1/150th the cost > 1,000 parts , ~100 build steps each > Astra : 79.1% IoU , 199s , $0.75 a part > SKY-001 : 79.7% IoU , 3.9s , $0.005 most world models make a world to walk around in , this one makes the build plan 🧐

Skyfall AI just introduced SKY-001, what they’re calling the first Engineering World Model and they’re claiming it outperforms GPT-6 Astra on CAD and BIM engineering tasks. their model is 51-125x faster and over 150-210x cheaper than the frontier models they tested, while achieving higher intersection-over-union scores on engineering benchmarks!

Skyfall AI released SKY-001, the first World Model specialized in engineering tasks. > According to Skyfall tests, SKY-001 outperforms GPT-6 Astra and Opus 5.5 on CAD and BIM tasks. > The model sets a new bar for speed and cost per sample, running about 120 times faster and costing about 185 times less per case. “SKY-001 is currently a Compositional Visual World Model, aka designed to provide a visual plan of an engineered object.“ This model breaks physical objects into small parts and rebuilds the whole thing in CAD, as if it were a real factory!

Everyone is racing to build bigger and smarter LLMs. Meanwhile, Skyfall AI is exploring a completely different direction. Meet SKY-001, an engineering world model designed to understand and construct complex physical objects. Instead of relying entirely on token-heavy reasoning, it simulates possible designs, breaks them into smaller parts, and reconstructs complete CAD assemblies. Skyfall reports 100x faster and 150x cheaper performance than GPT Astra on CAD and BIM tasks.

Skyfall AI launches SKY-001, an Engineering World Model for CAD and BIM. It beats GPT-6 Astra and other frontier models by 51-125x in speed and 150-210x in cost, with higher spatial accuracy. Built by the Maluuba team (acquired by Microsoft) for long-horizon physical design. Specialized models like this are the practical path to autonomous manufacturing.

World models have mostly been used to generate games, video and robot training scenes. But SKY-001 released a world model for solving engineering design: it turns 1 photo of an engine or car into a full tree of parts, plus the step-by-step sketches that build each one. Skyfall AI says a specialist world model beats the strongest general LLM on CAD and floor-plan design cost by 150x to 185x while matching its accuracy. It takes an image of a product, unfolds it into a tree of assemblies and parts, then predicts the sketch-and-operation sequence that builds each part. Two models share the work. A Hierarchical Composer decides what the object is made of, one level at a time. A Construction World Model rolls out each leaf part as ordered visual states: the solid after each operation, plus the 2D sketch that turns one state into the next. From a single photo of a VMS-85 engine, the composer produced a five-level part tree, down to sleeves and shafts hidden inside housings.

A big step forward for AI-powered engineering. Congrats to the @skyfallai team on the launch of SKY-001! 🚀
