16 seconds of someone unloading a dishwasher.
A THOR miner turns that footage into a structured record: eight actions, each with a start and end time.
At scale, labels like these become training and evaluation data for robots.
Action labelling is THOR’s first task type. Every THOR task is built to the customer’s brief, and work is checked before delivery.

“Model training is not hard. But I need a lot of data… to train my robots.”
We hear this from robotics labs constantly.
Software AI learned from the internet. Robots must learn from the real world, where usable data is still scarce.
That’s why THOR starts with data.

October was THOR’s first month live on Bittensor SN112.
• First robotics labelling contracts signed
• 3 annotation firms onboarded
• Invite-only orderbook
• talorobotics.ai launched
November is about delivery: signed contracts → accepted work → subnet revenue.

THOR Signals · Capital
@Figure_robot tried to buy robot training data. Vendors couldn’t hit the throughput, diversity or quality it needed.
So it built its own pipeline, and in August committed $1B+ to data and compute over 12 months.
Meanwhile, data suppliers are raising:
→ @MeckaAI: $60M Series B led by Sequoia, with Nvidia and M12 joining.
→ @MaxinsightsAI: $30M seed led by Peak XV. 2M+ hours of human activity video captured, with 1.5M rated “model-ready” under its internal scoring system.
As more capital flows into collection, more data needs verifying, and that’s where things slip.
Pantheon audited 3,546 episodes across nine open robotics datasets and found 27% had at least one medium or high severity issue. That's open data, not these suppliers’, but it shows how easily problems get through.
Figure’s answer: keep filtering, fraud review and deduplication in-house.
Our view: an open market for robotics data needs verification buyers trust enough to cut back their own checking.
THOR’s pilot is testing whether independent verification can match buyers’ own quality calls, and cut the time they spend checking.

Per Scale’s paper, FineART’s subtask training raised success from 32% to 100% on one spatial task. Building that dataset took three teams: one to collect, one to annotate, one to verify.
Many labs can’t staff three teams. They need open infrastructure that can do that work. twitter.com/1982820353622884352/status/21158377…
Quoted post
In collaboration with @HuggingFace, we’ve released the largest open robot dataset, alongside their first open System 1-System 2 model that can reason over step-by-step actions.
FineART is built with 40K+ demonstrations across 151 tasks and 500K subtask labels.
Together, the dataset and model were designed for each other, and both are available on @LeRobotHF where robotics developers work today.

“The main lesson of thirty-five years of AI research is that the hard problems are easy and the easy problems are hard.”
Steven Pinker, 1994
Robots still struggle with what a toddler does without thinking.
THOR is building the data network to help them learn.

If everyone has access to better AI models, what do contributors compete on?
How well they use them.
Models like GPT-6 Astra and NVIDIA’s Flora are getting much better at labelling robotics video. NVIDIA estimates inference compute costs below $1 per hour of footage for Flora.
But customer-ready data has to meet timing, description and quality requirements. Verification and rework carry costs too.
On Bittensor Subnet 112, THOR is designed to tie rewards to verified output, giving contributors an incentive to improve their models, tools and workflows. A better workflow raises the bar for everyone.
The test for THOR is whether that competition delivers reliable robotics training data at a lower total cost.
Better AI expands what’s possible. Competition makes it count.

Robotics will scale one deployment at a time: one robot, one task, one environment.
And each can expose edge cases the training data never covered.
THOR is building an open marketplace for annotation and verification to cover them, so training keeps pace with deployment.
