Moving Atoms on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Our first model, Atom 1, pre-trained on the internets video, and fine tuned for physics, already tops the Physics IQ benchmark. It has been action conditioned, so you can simulate robot actions within it. This lets Robot Labs train their robots using GPUs instead of relying on human collected manual data that is slow and expensive. In unseen and hard to replicate environments, this is the only path to getting ANY training data. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Moving Atoms builds world models for robot labs: train, evaluate, and simulate robot policies in worlds that obey physics. Atom 1 holds #1 on DeepMind" (source)

Who is behind it

  • Shehryar Saroya, Founder/CEO: Founder at Moving Atoms (YC S26). Previously AI @ TikTok (Core Recomendation Algorithm). Maths @ Oxford. (source)
  • Ahmad Saroya, Founder: Founder @ Moving Atoms Studied Mathematics @ Oxford, British Mathematical Olympiad Gold Medalist. Trained Neural nets for GCHQ (British government) (source)
