Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Strong benchmark leadership and cross-embodiment transfer are compelling, but the controlling action model is partner-gated, real-world success rates are unpublished, the cloud-split adds latency, and the version line is moving fast (ER 1.6 already out).
Next
Prototype against Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 via the Gemini API for spatial-reasoning/pointing tasks; treat the VLA action model as unavailable until partner/GA access opens, and evaluate the on-device variant if cloud latency is a constraint.
