Kairos is a 4B-parameter native cross-embodiment world model for unified understanding, generation, and action prediction. Through a progressive Cross-Embodiment Data Curriculum, it learns from general videos, human behavior, and real-robot interaction to build persistent world representations. Powered by a World-Action Model architecture and hybrid linear temporal memory, Kairos jointly predicts future visual states and executable robot actions, enabling long-horizon reasoning, high-quality generation, and real-time edge-side deployment for embodied AI.

Jul 2, 2026: 🛠️ We've open-sourced the Kairos3.1 series, including World-Action Model inference code and three model weights: Kairos3.1-4B-robot-480P, kairos-4B-robot-RoboTwin2.0, and kairos-4B-robot-LIBERO-plus. RoboTwin 2.0 and LIBERO-Plus support executable action prediction.

Jun 16, 2026: 📄 We've released the Kairos technical report on arXiv: Kairos Technical Report.

Feb 26, 2026: 👋 We've released Kairos video world model weights, including kairos-robot-4B-480P, kairos-robot-4B-480P-distilled, and kairos-4B-720P.

Dec 18, 2025: 🎉 Kairos 3.0 was officially introduced, along with the Kairos World Model inference code and kairos-4B-480P-pretrained.

🚀 1. Motivation

Embodied AI is entering the era of Scaling Laws, yet scaling alone cannot overcome the core barriers to reliable real-world interaction. Heterogeneous embodiment data, weak long-horizon reasoning, separated video-and-action modeling, and edge-side compute constraints still limit the practicality of current world models. Kairos addresses these challenges by unifying cross-embodiment pretraining, persistent world-state modeling, future generation, and executable action prediction within an efficient deployment-aware framework.

🌍 Native Pretraining Paradigm with Cross-Embodiment Data Curriculum

Kairos introduces a native world-model pretraining paradigm that learns physical, behavioral, and embodied knowledge from scratch, rather than relying on decoupled post-training adaptation. Through a Cross-Embodiment Data Curriculum (CEDC), the model progressively absorbs knowledge from general videos, human behavior data, and real-robot interaction data. This curriculum enables Kairos to move beyond flat data scaling, building world representations that evolve from passive physical understanding to active task intent and embodied control.

🔗 Unified Understanding–Generation–Prediction Architecture

Kairos is designed as a native end-to-end architecture for understanding, generating, and predicting the world within a unified Mixture-of-Transformers framework. Instead of treating world modeling as simple video continuation, Kairos maintains persistent world states, where understanding provides causal interpretation, generation unfolds plausible futures, and prediction produces executable robot actions. This unified design allows the model to connect perception, reasoning, planning, and action in a single intelligence loop.

⚡ Hybrid Linear Temporal Memory for Efficient Deployment

Kairos introduces a hybrid linear temporal memory mechanism for long-horizon world modeling. By combining Sliding-Window Attention, Dilated Sliding-Window Attention, and Gated Linear Attention, the model captures local dynamics, mid-range interactions, and global causal memory under linear-complexity temporal modeling. Together with deployment-aware system co-design, including efficient kernels, quantization, and token streaming, Kairos supports low-memory, high-throughput inference and lays the foundation for real-time closed-loop deployment.

🧠 Physical–causal consistency

Kairos leverages causal CoT and physical laws to transform multimodal inputs into deep task logic. It enables autonomous planning and feasibility analysis, shifting the system from "executing commands" to "understanding intent" for real-world robotic actions.

🎨 Cross-embodiment generalization

Unified Cross-Embodiment Generation: A single "brain" that generalizes across single-arm, dual-arm, and dexterous-hand platforms. Kairos enables shared, transferable world knowledge with maximal adaptability. Broad Hardware Support: Native compatibility with Agibot G1, Unitree G1, and Songling PIPER, significantly slashing development costs through zero-shot multi-task generalization.

🎯 Accurate Action Prediction

Powered by its World-Action Model, Kairos predicts executable robot action trajectories directly from visual observations and task context. This enables accurate, temporally coherent, and physically grounded action generation for long-horizon embodied manipulation.

🔮 High-efficiency inference

Real-time Edge Performance: Industry-leading inference speed with ultra-low resource consumption. Optimized for low-latency, high-reliability deployment across single or multi-GPU embodied systems.
