ASPIRE V1.0 agentic robotics framework is being open-sourced

The lab behind ASPIRE announced it is open-sourcing version 1.0 of its agentic robotics framework, with capabilities for discovering and improving real-robot skills. It says its benchmarks reached roughly 99% overnight after it switched the backend model to Astra. On the lab’s robot simulation benchmark, Opus 5.5 slightly outperformed Astra, while Sonnet 5.5 reached what the lab calls the cost-versus-capability Pareto frontier at $12 per task.
