Qapha is an ambitious, ongoing project to build AI that understands the physical world well enough to act in it, which robots, drones and machines on factory floors need. The full vision includes “what if?” reasoning and choosing its own experiments, and that is still in development. The core loop is built and working today.

Qapha watches ordinary phone video, uses Meta’s SAM 3.1 to track an object in every frame, and predicts where it will be next. Each prediction is sealed with a fingerprint before the frame is revealed, then scored honestly, including how sure the model claimed to be. Qapha also learns about its scene: after seeing one bounce, it remembers where the floor is and weighs two competing hypotheses, “keeps falling” and “bounces”, to anticipate the next one. Muse Spark reasons over the measured evidence.

All experiments were pre-registered on fresh clips and checked by about 300 automated tests. The results, including failures, are shown in a live replay lab.
