Qwen-VLA feels like one of the first real robotics foundation models. A single system trained across robot manipulation, navigation, egocentric human video, simulation, and vision-language reasoning instead of isolated robot policies.

Robot AI brains, aka Vision-Language-Action models, cannot adapt to new tasks as easily as LLMs like Gemini, ChatGPT, or Grok. LLMs can adapt quickly with their in-context learning (ICL) capabilities. But can we inject ICL abilities into a pre-trained VLA like pi0? Yes! Introducing RICL (Retraining for In-Context Learning), our Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) 2025 paper. Our RICL-pi0 model can adapt to unseen objects, novel motions, and new scenes with just ICL and RAG (retrieval-augmented generation). RICL-pi0 also boosts performance on the long-tail of tasks. A quick 1 minute video summary:

The next evolution: VLA+ models Just yesterday Microsoft Research released Rho-alpha (ρα) – their first robotics model, built on the Phi family. While most Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models stop at vision and language, Rho-alpha adds: ▪️ Tactile sensing to feel objects during manipulation ▪️ Online learning that lets it improve from human corrections (via teleoperation, 3D mouse or other tools) in real-time even after deployment. Both these sides make adaptability central rather than incidental. Microsoft calls it a VLA+ model, positioning it as an extension beyond what current VLA systems support. ➡️ Today Rho-alpha can control dual-arm robot setups to perform tasks such as: • Manipulating the BusyBox following natural-language instructions • Plug insertion • Toolbox packing and object arrangement with bimanual coordination But to understand why this "plus" matters, we need to understand what came before. Here, we'll take you through the entire landscape of VLA models – Gemini Robotics, π0, SmolVLA, Helix, ACoT-VLA and others:

GPT 5.6 SOL IS HERE! How to run your personal + business life with GPT 5.6 Sol + Codex (full 49 min masterclass) We tested it for 30 days and the video it's the CLEAREST look at the FUTURE of work: Here's what's possible once you set it up: 1. Your inbox becomes cards every morning, each with a summary and a reply drafted in your own voice. Y 2. Your Slack, meeting notes, and company updates can turn into one daily feed with a clear next action. It learns what you care about over time and rewrites its own prompts to get sharper. 3. You can give your agent its own email address, so your other tools and even your team's Slack bot email it directly and it just handles things. 4. You can have it watch you do a task once and turn it into a skill it repeats forever. 5. You can set a long goal and walk away. You can have it run for 20 hours straight, and fine-tune your own models, something that was out of reach for non-engineers 12 months ago. How to start: Open Codex, give it access to your computer, and ask it to suggest things it could do for you based on how you already work. Full episode on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 (thanks Dan Shipper 📧 for sharing your entire workflow and review of GPT 5.6) Start with one boring task, get it working, and build from there. You'll learn exactly how to make something similar. GPT 5.6 Sol is impressive. Sol (according to openAI benchmarks) is the best coding model out right now. It set a new state of the art on Terminal-Bench 2.1 at 88.8%, and its "ultra mode" hits 91.9%, beating Claude Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and even Mythos 5 this masterclass is 100% free, like always.

Pretraining is essential for good performance on a wide variety of robotics tasks, and so most vision-language-action models build off of a vision language model (VLM) trained on a wide variety of image-language data. But how does the choice of VLM translate to downstream robotics performance? Jianke Zhang and @GYanjiang join us to talk about this key part of the robot policy, looking at a wide variety of different VLMs and how they perform. Interestingly, they see that performance on auxiliary tasks like quesiton answering did not lead to downstream improvements in control.

Why LLMs are a dead end for human-level intelligence, and especially for Physical AI / Robotics. The next leap isn’t bigger language models. It’s World Models. I just dropped a full 1-hour presentation from Shanghai: “World Models: the ChatGPT moment for robotics?” → Why LLMs hit a wall → Why action-conditioned world models planning in latent space are the real path → Live World Forge demo with LeWorldModel + Hugging Face LeRobot Watch here. The future of intelligence is embodied, not just chatty.
