ZimaBlue Evolving Generalizable World Action Models through Scalable Video Pre-training

About the name

Why ZimaBlue?

The name ZimaBlue is inspired by Zima Blue, an episode of Love, Death & Robots about a journey through ever greater scale and complexity that ultimately returns to the simple blue tile where it began. We use the name to express how we see robot learning: robots evolve by learning from broader experience, building richer models of the physical world, and turning that knowledge into increasingly capable behavior. ZimaBlue is one step in this continuing process. The next stage of this evolution is coming soon.
