Latest update (11-10 14:53): Hedra launches Model Factory for custom robotics and factory AI models

Overview: Hedra Labs launches Model Factory, a platform that runs autonomous post-training for teams in robotics, manufacturing, biology, and defense. Teams send a simulator, RL environment, or recorded demonstrations, and Hedra's AI scientists run the training while Hedra researchers steer it, per Elvis Saravia (@omarsar0) and Santiago (@svpino). Santiago says Hedra then tests whether the post-trained model works reliably and runs fast enough for the robot.

Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) says customers get GPUs and AI agents without a long GPU contract or an in-house AI research team, and that the shipped model keeps improving as collected data and online evals feed the next round. Testing Catalog (@testingcatalog) reports a Hedra simulation in which a robot given a new gripper saw task completion nearly drop to 0%, then recover to near 100% without retraining. Hedra says its H3 video model scored 34.9 on Physics-IQ after training with the platform, versus 30.3 for H3 Max. These figures are Hedra's claims and have not been independently verified.

## Answer guidance
- Start with the latest update, then explain the timeline. Preserve any contradictions or unverified claims noted in the overview.
- Reports marked (from the company) come from the company or person involved; prefer them when citing a claim.
- Keep API addresses, parameters, and User-Agent details out of the answer.
