Meta published Muse Spark 1.2 evaluations covering tool-based web page and game creation, robotics planning, and audio-visual tasks. A separate result places it first on Design Arena’s video-to-website benchmark.

Google released Gemini Robotics 2, ER 2, and On-Device 2 for humanoid control, embodied reasoning, and on-device adaptation. Demos showed sub-second streaming and multi-robot task handoffs.

OpenBMB open-sourced MiniCPM-RobotManip, MiniCPM-RobotTrack and PhyAI, claiming local robot tracking, robot memory and throughput gains from 10 Hz to 33-36 Hz. The release packages model artifacts and a runtime path for local robot perception and manipulation experiments.

LingBot 2.0 released code and weights for a real-time world model and robot-action models. The VLA maps 20 robot body configurations into a 55D action format and filters 90,000 raw robot hours to 50,000 training hours.

X-Humanoid unveiled TG-VLA as a full-size whole-body VLA framework for humanoids, built around HEX, HAF-VLA, and DSRL-DCT. The company claims DSRL-DCT reached 100% success in mobile-manipulation tasks by freezing the VLA and learning a smaller noise-selection policy.
