Orca: What If Next-Token, Next-Frame, and Next-Action Are the Same Task?
Orca (BAAI) replaces next-token, next-frame, and next-action prediction with a single Next-State-Prediction objective. A frozen 4B backbone pre-trained on 12.5K hours of video — with zero action labels — feeds three lightweight readouts, and the action readout, trained on just 200 trajectories per task, beats π0.5 on OOD robot manipulation (32.4 vs 29.4).
MolmoAct2: The First Fully Open Robot Controller That Beats Closed-Source Giants
MolmoAct2 is a fully open vision-language-action model that outperforms π0.5 and matches Gemini Robotics ER, achieving 97.2% on LIBERO and 87.1% real-world success via per-layer KV-cache conditioning and adaptive depth reasoning.
Utonia: One Encoder For All Point Clouds
Utonia trains one 137M encoder for indoor, LiDAR, satellite, CAD and video point clouds. Stripped of color it scores 77.0% mIoU on ScanNet vs Concerto's 36.8%.
Green-VLA: One AI Brain for All Robots
Green-VLA trains one policy for humanoids, mobile manipulators and fixed arms across five stages and 3,000 hours of demos, hitting state of the art on CALVIN ABC-D.
ASkDAgger: How Artificial Intelligence Learns More Effectively by Asking Questions
ASkDAgger lets a robot flag an uncertain plan before acting; adaptive gating and foresight replay cut teacher queries and raise success on CLIPort and a real arm.
