The honest brief

Sanctuary AI

Carbon's hybrid stack — symbolic reasoning plus LLMs and RL — cuts Phoenix task onboarding to under 24 hours.

  • Highly dexterous hands
  • Hybrid Carbon control system
  • New tasks taught in under a day
  • Explainable reasoning layer
  • Not generally available; enterprise/pilot
  • Narrow deployed task range so far
  • Capital-intensive hardware

Skild AI

One 'omni-bodied' foundation model meant to control any robot it never trained on, via in-context adaptation in the wild.

  • Single model targets many embodiments
  • Pretrains on sim + internet human video
  • In-context learning adapts to new bodies
  • Heavily funded (SoftBank, NVIDIA, Bezos)
  • Foundation model, not a shipping consumer product
  • Generality claims still being validated in-field
  • Closed, enterprise deployment model
  • Early-stage revenue vs huge valuation
