Ant Lingbo Technology

Ant Lingbo Technology (蚂蚁灵波科技) is Ant Group's embodied-AI arm, working on both robot foundation models and world models. Its chief scientist is Shen Yujun, who has represented the company in recent industry roundtables on embodied AI . On the robotics side, per a 十字路口Crossing piece from January 2026, after open-sourcing the spatial-perception model LingBot-Depth it released LingBot-VLA, a general cross-embodiment VLA model pretrained on roughly 20,000 hours of real-world data across 9 robot configurations — on RoboTwin 2.0's 50-task benchmark it reportedly beat Pi0.5's success rate by 9.92% — with code and the full training toolchain open-sourced as well . On the world-model side, a July 2026 葬AI piece describes a whole LingBot model family — VLA 2.0, Vision 1.0, VA 2.0, Video 1.0, and the open-world generator World 2.0 — which Ant even embedded into its Lingguang consumer app as a text-to-mini-game feature, a move the author treated with some skepticism .
