@jmtang42 and Song Han's team say they trained an open 27B model built on Qwen3.8-27B to control robots purely from its own attempts in simulation, with zero demonstrations. They report it went from 0 to 18 of 30 tests on a real robot it had never touched, runs locally at over 220 tokens a second on an RTX 5090,...
