Strengths and trade-offs
Our analysisStrengths
Made for humanoids from the start.
Fits neatly with Nvidia's chips and simulators, which many robots already use.
Backed by a company with the money to keep improving it.
Trade-offs
Works best on Nvidia hardware, which deepens reliance on one supplier.
The terms for commercial use of the trained model are not straightforward.
Has to be taught on each specific robot.
Why robot makers choose it
Our readNvidia makes its money selling chips. A free, capable robot model gives every robot maker a reason to build on Nvidia hardware. For the robot maker, supporting it means customers can use tools they already know.
This is our reasoning from the public facts. No maker has confirmed it.
