Helm.ai is building the next generation of AI technology for autonomous driving and robotics.

The AV industry is hitting a "Data Wall." Brute force training on petabytes of data is hitting a dead end. The better the models get, the harder they are to improve. At Helm.ai, we bypassed this wall with Factored Embodied AI—achieving Zero-Shot autonomous steering with just 1,000 hours of driving data. Here is how we broke the barrier: 🧵

4/ Our platform provides two powerful methods for data generation: • VidGen-3 creates entirely synthetic sequences from scratch. • GenSim-3 performs high-fidelity scene transfer by re-stylizing real-world footage. Both models operate at native 2MP resolution per camera.

5/ We achieved this milestone using an optimized cluster of only hundreds of GPUs rather than thousands. This compute efficiency makes high-fidelity simulation commercially viable for global automakers and accelerates the path to safe, scalable autonomy.

Mass-market autonomy is as much an economic challenge as it is a technical one. For an automaker, the "brute-force" approach—requiring massive capital and endless data collection—is no longer a viable path to production. Helm.ai Driver is a production-ready, vision-only software stack now capable of urban autonomy. It allows OEMs to deploy high-end L2+ systems immediately, while using the exact same underlying architecture to unlock Level 3 and Level 4 capabilities as their roadmaps evolve. 🧵

7/8: There is a massive safety dividend, too. Unlike monolithic "Black Box" models, our architecture is interpretable by design. Transparency is built-in, allowing us to trace exactly why a decision was made. This is the bridge to ISO 26262 and SOTIF compliance—delivering the production-grade safety OEMs need.
