NVIDIA's head of robotics, Jim Fan, gave a public talk, advocating that robots should directly replicate the successful path of large language models. He proposed directions such as World Action Model (WAM), a data revolution based on human first-person video, and neural simulation, and predicted a 95% probability of achieving the endgame of general-purpose physical robots by 2040.
NVIDIA's Jim Fan spoke at Sequoia AI Ascent 2026, declaring the VLA architecture obsolete and proposing World Action Models (WAM) as a new paradigm for robotics. He introduced key technologies including DreamZero, EgoScale, and the neural simulator Dream Dojo.
Jim Fan released 《Robotics: Endgame》as a sequel to his previous speech 《Physical Turing Test》, proposing a roadmap to solve physical AGI by analogy to the success story of LLM.
