How they use Nebius AI Cloud
Ultimate Bots runs its Studio motion-creation tool on Nebius AI Cloud. Studio uses Nebius Object Storage and Serverless jobs to turn uploaded videos into robot motion files, with physical validation and simulation in the workflow. Nebius reports more than 500 creative workflows each month. The league also uses Nebius for robot training, and Nebius is its technology partner.

Ultimate Bots describes Studio running serverless on Nebius AI Cloud, using Nebius Object Storage and jobs for pose extraction, motion retargeting and physical evaluation. It reports retargeting hundreds of videos in the time a dedicated GPU would process one, with lower compute costs, and choreography performed by a robot in the same session. It also describes planned SONIC fine-tuning on Nebius for locomotion controllers tailored to uploaded robot physical parameters. Evidence at 00:40, 01:25, 01:31, 01:48.
