What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Open-weight (MIT), genuinely SOTA on physical-reasoning/anticipation benchmarks, but the image-goal-only interface, long-horizon error accumulation and camera-pose fragility make it a research substrate, not a production controller, for our use cases.
Next
Run V-JEPA 2-AC zero-shot pick-and-place reproduction on a single Franka-class arm against the published 65-80% band; log camera-pose sensitivity and long-horizon failure modes, and evaluate the V-JEPA 2.1 dense-feature checkpoint, before any platform integration.
