@MarioChan2002We put GPT-6 Astra in the RoboDojo. 🥋🤖 The RoboDojo Team conducted a comprehensive evaluation of GPT-6 Astra as an embodied agent, including: • RoboDojo Sim & Real, compared with GPT-5.5 and DeepSeek-Flash • Humanoid high-level control • Dexterous piano playing with RoboPianist 🎹 • A systematic study of in-context learning (ICL) Our key takeaway: GPT-6 Astra demonstrates remarkably strong semantic and spatial understanding, together with impressive in-context adaptation. At the same time, physical commonsense remains a clear bottleneck — revealing an important gap between understanding the world and truly reasoning about its physics.

@Lingjun_Maowow!! GPT-6 Astra can rapidly adapt to a new robot embodiment and a new task 🤯🤖 We asked it to put a cake into an air fryer in the benchmark we’re building, using simple tool APIs including CuRobo-based motion planning. Its first attempts were chaotic. After repeated interaction, it accumulated environment-specific experience and learned to reliably complete the task end to end. 🍰➡️🔥 This is generalization far beyond VLAs and WAMs.21d

@npewFunny if the GPT moment for robotics is just another GPT.21d

@AndrewMayne@npew The more I think about how transformers have taken on more complex multi-modal tasks the more I wonder if you can just build all the way to world models with tokens.21d

@jianglong_yeEvolving dexterity with GPT-6 Astra 🖐️ Been trying Astra recently. Its zero-shot dexterous manipulation is already quite surprising. More interesting is seeing it learn and improve through simulation training, from pen spinning and Rubik's Cube to hammer use. The real goal would be to evolve this dexterity in the real world. https://github.com/jianglongye/dexterous-astra20d
