As embodied systems move from demos to deployment, the central question is becoming more technical & more controversial: can simulation, synthetic data, & world models replace enough real-world data to make Physical AI scale?
We'll discuss what works, what breaks, & what it actually takes to turn simulation into real-world performance.
Join Savant & Nebius for an evening with these guest speakers:
Evan Morikawa, VP, Engineering, Generalist AI
Bryce Schmidtchen, Co-founder & CTO, Reactor
Harry Mellsop, Founder, Antioch
Jonathan Lwowski, Field CTO at Nebius will moderate the panel discussion. We will explore what it actually takes to move Physical AI systems from simulated environments into real-world deployment.
Topics will include:
The emerging simulation + data + VLA + RL training paradigm for Physical AI
Whether world models can learn physics, contact, causality, & proprioception well enough to transfer into the real world
The role of teleoperation, synthetic data, autonomous data collection, & fleet learning in closing the Sim2Real gap
How teams should think about evaluation, failure modes, deployment loops, & real-world robustness
Where enduring value may accrue across data, evals, simulation, deployment tooling, compute, & infrastructure
This event is designed for robotics researchers, embodied AI founders, frontier lab builders, infrastructure teams, & investors actively thinking about the next generation of Physical AI.

6:30 PM - Fireside Chat
7:00 PM - Audience Q&A

About the Host:
Savant is a community of technologists embarking on good quests, ideas that are hard, consequential & civilizational-defining. We help top founders explore & start new companies in Physical AI through a powerful network of peers, a dedicated hardware lab, & founder-led support - often before we ever write a check. Together, let's move civilization forward!
Nebius is a full-stack AI cloud built for teams training, deploying, & scaling advanced AI systems. Its infrastructure supports large-scale GPU workloads across training, inference, synthetic data, & Physical AI - making it especially relevant for builders working on simulation, robotics, & real-world deployment.
Reactor is the platform for building in the World Model era. The infrastructure that lets any developer build with World Models at global scale without becoming an inference company themselves. A few lines of our SDK & you're streaming pixels from a frontier World Model into your product, in real time, at scale.
Rho: Rho is the all-in-one banking platform for startups & the accountants supporting them. With banking setup in minutes, 2% cashback cards, & powerful tools for managing spend, paying bills, & closing the books, Rho helps high-growth startups move fast & stay focused, backed by support that goes to the end of the earth to help you win.
