Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Genuinely state-of-the-art and very active, now with real zero-shot sim-to-real benchmarks reported, but hardware-narrow (G1), training is GPU-prohibitive, and distribution is informal; no pragma.vision robotics workload depends on it.
Next
Monitor for broader embodiment support and a head-to-head comparative eval; treat as a reference research controller, deployable in practice mainly on G1.
