Nature Will launches Natura-1, a 50-billion-parameter model for robot hands

Nature Will positions Natura-1 as its first physical foundation model capable of general-purpose dexterous manipulation using real hardware. The company says the model is built on a 50-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts architecture trained jointly on language, images, video, and action, and that it operates at a 100-millisecond control loop. According to CEO Ning Ding, general models that can handle every task must exist and must utilize dexterous hands, and Natura-1 is described as a first step toward models that scale from human experience. The body presents the model as applicable to any field requiring fine or delicate manipulation, though no specific deployment partners or timelines are mentioned.
