RynnBrain1.1-9B API & Inference Endpoint

News

[2026.07.16] ✨✨ Release RynnBrain 1.1 checkpoints (2B / 9B / 122B-A10B) on Hugging Face & ModelScope!
[2026.07.16] ✨✨ Release the RynnBrain 1.1 Technical Report on arXiv!

Introduction

We present RynnBrain 1.1, a systematic upgrade of RynnBrain for embodied intelligence. RynnBrain 1.1 is released in three scales: 2B, 9B, and 122B-A10B, extending the model family from compact dense models to its first 122B-level sparse-MoE model.

What's New in 1.1 🚀

Unified Embodied Scaling to 122B: Establishes the first embodied brain model at the 122B scale under a unified training recipe shared across 2B, 9B, and 122B-A10B, enabling a systematic study of how embodied cognition, spatial reasoning, grounding, and planning evolve with scale.
Real-robot VLA transfer: Bridges perception and action through RynnBrain-VLA, translating embodied understanding into real-robot control and demonstrating strong cross-platform generalization on Unitree G1, Astribot, and Tianji-Wuji across humanoid, bimanual, and dexterous-hand tasks.
Native 3D and contact point grounding: Introduces explicit 3D-grounded training and a new contact point prediction task, extending RynnBrain from image-plane localization to metric 3D understanding and action-relevant interaction grounding.
