The best thing we can do for Physical AI is measure it properly

We met at Google and we both worked on Search ranking. Evaluation there is a whole engineering discipline, and we took it for granted for years — until we found that physical AI has nothing like it. So we are building it.

Founders

Founded by two veterans of Google Search ranking

Sergey Arkhangelskiy

Sergey Arkhangelskiy

Co-founder and CEO

Vladimir Yakunin

Vladimir Yakunin

Co-founder and CTO

Twelve years at Google, including Search. Then Snowflake, where he built the platform and performance infrastructure behind it. ICPC silver medallist.

Independence

We train no models and we sell no robots

Nothing of ours is on the leaderboard, so no result of ours is a result about us. We are not owned by a cloud provider, a robot maker or a model lab, and nobody pays us for an outcome.

The robots are in the EU (Cyprus) — fixed stations, each with an operator who resets the scene after every attempt. Every run is recorded, and the scoring is fixed before it runs: the method is in the PhAIL paper, the harness is on GitHub. On the leaderboard those recordings are public. On your eval they are yours.

Backing

Our pre-seed round is led by 33East, with participation from RTP, Davidovs Venture Collective, Orion VC and multiple angels.

Nebius is a founding partner of the leaderboard.
