Excited to share what we’ve been working on at Skyfall AI! We just launched our first world model for engineering, along with a technical blog explaining our approach. Would love to hear your thoughts!
Introducing SKY-001, the first Engineering World Model. On CAD and BIM tasks, it beats GPT-6 Astra and every frontier model we tested: -> 51-125x faster - > 150-210x cheaper -> Higher IOU than all frontier models SKY-001 lets you dream a physical object before you build it. 18 months of work. Built by the team out of Maluuba's deep learning lab (acq. by @MSRResearch). The first ‘AI General Engineer’ will be the backbone for Autonomous Manufacturing.

Can’t wait for the next updates! Only getting better from here on out 🚀
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 is way cheaper than any frontier models by a huge margin as well. Here is the cost for CAD:

The @skyfallai team has been working on world models for a while, and now has released SKY-001 an engineering world model. Very exciting times for AI design of physical things.

Yesterday, we came out of stealth at @skyfallAI in Forbes and today we're excited to announce that Skyfall AI is featured in the @WSJ's newsletter. We believe in a utopian world that will be achieved over the next decade, where humans will work in their own creative interests in space exploration, sports, arts or philosophy while machines will do all the mundane operational tasks. We want to free humanity from all the monotonous boring operational tasks that they spend their daily lives doing. The only way to achieve this vision is via creating autonomous enterprises, i.e., companies that can run by themselves with minimal human intervention. After 15 years of building in the AI space, one thing is certain. LLMs are static systems that fail at - Long horizon planning tasks - High consequential decision-making - Sample efficiency - Dynamic environment adaptation These skills are required by a business to survive and grow. Unfortunately, LLMs are not designed for the real world constraints of running an organization. Our solution is Enterprise World Models grounded in Continual Learning and World Modeling. We're taking a fundamentally different approach because we have always believed in 0 to 1 research, and not incremental n+1 RL fine tuning. We are acquiring SaaS businesses to prove our thesis for creating AI systems for the post scarcity world. This is a call to all SaaS founders to submit your company if you’re interested (🔗 in comments) Thank you Sarah @sarahklearman for covering our story on @WSJ

Around 15 years ago, Kaheer Suleman and I started Maluuba with the vision of building Universal Turing Machines. Back then, we were one of the pioneer research labs building foundational modules of deep learning and Reinforcement learning with Turing award winners @Yoshua_Bengio and @RichardSSutton. There was no AI hype then, as there is now. Those were the good old days of doing pure scientific research unlike the n+1 research that we see today. Maluuba was later acquired by Microsoft and became @MSFTResearch Canada. Grounded in that same mission, we're finally ready to introduce @skyfallai to the world after a lot of experimentation in stealth over the last year. We're a frontier neo lab building the first Autonomous Enterprise by moving beyond the current LLM paradigm. For the last 5 years, the foundational model market has relied on a single paradigm: scaling laws for LLMs - more data, more compute, bigger models. However, the real world is messy and much more complicated. In order to achieve our long term vision, the next generation of AI models requires a different approach. Skyfall is solving the hardest open problems in frontier AI: long-horizon planning, data inefficiency, and brittle performance in dynamic real-world environments. To achieve the team's vision of a completely autonomous enterprise, the team is developing a next-generation frontier model (Enterprise World Models) using Continual Learning and World Modeling. Enterprise World Models can simulate the multi-layered consequences of strategic business actions. Our approach unlocks a new category in the foundation model market. To prove it, we're introducing Morpheus, a Continual Reinforcement Learning platform for AI researchers. I'm building this company with the people I trust the most: my longtime friend Kaheer Suleman (prev. Co-Founder of Maluuba) and my brother @omgiamgod (prev. YC founder). Sumit and Kaheer are the first principles thinkers I can trust to go to the end of the world with to achieve the mission impossible together. Together with a stellar team of 25 researchers and engineers, we're pushing a new frontier in AI forward. We unpacked our long term vision in today’s Forbes feature 🔗- read it to see what we’re building toward. Thank you so much Victor Dey for the interview. To achieve our goal of enterprise world models, we are soliciting bids to acquire small SaaS startups (up to $1M) and fully automate them. If you’re interested, submit your business here: skyfall.ai/acquisition Finally, thank you to our investors and advisors for believing in our vision since day one: @Fidelity , @sk121 (@touringcapital), @karam_n and @chrisarsenault (@inovia), @morgan_blumberg (@M13Company ), @stephpalmeri (@NextViewVC ), and @michaellitt and @mmccauley (@GarageCapital ), @jennydhe, @fchollet @NaveenGRao and so many others for supporting us in this journey.

Today we present Morpheus, a persistent enterprise simulation platform designed to make Continual Learning a reality. Morpheus is the world’s first real world Reinforcement Learning environment. Every Reinforcement Learning environment operates in the game world. Benchmarks like Atari, OpenAI Gym, MuJoCo, and Procgen are all small, game-like worlds that reset every few minutes. But the real world never resets. A business keeps running and evolving everyday. We tested how frontier LLMs would perform in realistic and dynamic business environments 🧬on Morpheus. The main conclusion was that LLMs are not continual learners. 🧵Here’s how we did it and what we learned:
