So how does Mad Max compare against Astra? We put them head to head with identical prompts and inputs. Mad Max came out ahead in the following areas: -Geometric accuracy (proportions, scale) -Subtle geometry details (normal maps) -Cleaner Topology -More detailed PBR materials -Fully functional mechanical joints Want to compare yourself? Mad Max is free to try for the next week at dashboard.palatial.cloud (4/4)

Bring your reference materials and context, Mad Max reasons about the task, does research and synthesizes messy input data into faithful recreations of real world objects across use cases and industries. Each asset is validated against its target simulator, ensuring stability, working joints and photoreal materials. (3/4)

Simulation has an N+1 problem. In order to create accurate simulations, there are hundreds of engineering problems to solve and solving one doesn't always lead to solutions for the millions of other scenarios out there. This engineering gap is the primary reason sim is not ubiquitous in robotics today. By combining frontier models like GPT-6 Astra and our own simulation-in-the-loop verification engine, we’ve created general solutions to many long-standing issues in asset generation, including open ended articulation, using an approach that scales with frontier progress.

In less than 24 hours, we're unlocking a new tier of capability for robotics simulations. Tune in tomorrow 10am PST

Team has been cooking up a huge update for the past couple of months. SimReady assets are about to change forever. Tune in Wednesday.

Most of the teams we work with live in two places: the simulator and the terminal. This week, we're shipping Palatial into both. Download the @nvidia Isaac Sim plugin to generate new or import existing sim-ready assets directly in the stage. Or, use the MCP and ask your coding agent to call Palatial to create complete simulation packages for Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or Newton. try it out here: palatial.cloud/isaac-sim-plu…

Our talk at @siggraph 2026: Building SimReady 3D Worlds for Physical AI, is now live. We cover what sim-ready actually means, common pitfalls, and the key challenges we solved to automate asset generation at the scale needed for robotics development. Check it out if you missed it and thanks to the @nvidia team for inviting us!

At @siggraph 2026 we announced the world’s first SimReady asset agent and today we’re making it publicly available in open beta. You can now generate and iterate on assets through natural language. Just upload your reference data, tell us your use case and the agent will figure out the best settings. Try it out now @ dashboard.palatial.cloud This kicks off shiptember. We've got a full month of releases lined up!

Palatial was just featured in @BusinessInsider's inaugural list of the 25 most promising robotics startups of 2026, alongside pioneering firms like @SkildAI, @GeneralistAI, @fieldai_, @UnitreeRobotics, and @foxglove. Physical AI raised $16.3B in Q1 alone, and simulation is the layer that will unlock scale for all of it. Thanks @hlynakim for the nomination! Tune in later this week to see what the team has been cooking up!

That's the goal! Making city building accessible to everyone 🏙️

We're on a mission to simulate every class of object robotic manipulation can touch, and make it accessible in any simulator. Over the following weeks we’ll be posting demos, examples, and tutorials. Stay tuned. dashboard.palatial.cloud

Over the last couple of months we've generated over 10k assets across homes, warehouses, factories, and construction sites. Our community has been building wild things with it: x.lingyaoai.com/filipbuilds/status/204… linkedin.com/posts/kineticar… linkedin.com/pulse/can-cosmo…

We're also releasing a Palatial integration layer for Newton: solver and asset params wrapped into clean API schemas for rigid body, cloth, and cable types. Drop Palatial assets straight into a Newton simulation with minimal setup. github.com/PalatialSim/palat…

Our first Newton release includes support for soft body cables and clothing, as well as rigid and articulated objects. Generate once, use across NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, and Newton, all Nvidia-approved and validated against the SimReady Foundation standard. @NVIDIARobotics

The pipeline is guided by the Palatial agent: it reads your context, configures the right settings automatically. We accept multimodal inputs: text, images, CAD, or datasheets, just upload and let it do the rest.

The only way to scale robotics is to scale simulation. And sim is bottlenecked by high quality assets. Today we're releasing Palatial V1.0, the first automated pipeline to generate Sim-Ready assets at scale. Agent-guided and multimodal, it supports soft-body, articulation, and is the first and only automated asset generator for Nvidia's Newton simulator. @NVIDIARobotics Start generating: dashboard.palatial.cloud

Scalable sim data is a foundational bottleneck for robotics. and the building blocks are physically accurate 3D assets. Today we're releasing the Palatial Library (library.palatial.cloud), the fastest-growing collection of sim-ready assets for robotics, powered by our automated generation pipeline. Every 60 seconds, a new Palatial asset is created, 24/7. Our goal is 1 asset/second, and 1 million assets generated this year.

Getting there! The dream of truly one-shot training is wild to think about 🚀

Exciting week at #GTC. Physical AI is hitting an inflection point: scaling laws are emerging, but data pipelines are still bottlenecked by human labor. Palatial is the only fully automated SimReady asset generator, create articulated objects ready for robot training in less that 10 minutes. V0.2 is rolling out next week to wave 3 on our waitlist.
