Liangyuan Xinchuang has released Light-O1, a whole-body intelligent foundation model that learns human movements from massive amounts of online video and combines language and visual information to enable cross-embodiment transfer to robots, addressing the high cost and lack of diversity associated with teleoperation. Pretraining on human movements has reached 100,000 motion hours. After data scaling, the motion prediction loss for cross-embodiment and viewpoint adaptation declines according to a power law, with pose error decreasing simultaneously. Light-O1-Preview has been open-sourced on the official website, completing the three-stage paradigm of large-scale pretraining, alignment, and deployment.
