Summary
According to a post on X by @RoboColosseum, the open project has launched with Unitree G1s, LeRobot SO-101s, YAMs and Franka arms across 140+ in-the-wild scenes, with open rollout data. The project says it has already run over 20,000 trials on 6,800+ tasks. The launch also includes 10,000 free evaluation hours from Hugging Face, BitRobot and partners, and academic labs can apply for them. Its first paper reports that the best model out of the box can differ from the best model after fine-tuning.

The open project offers Unitree G1s, LeRobot SO-101s, YAMs and Franka arms across 140+ in-the-wild scenes with open rollout data, and says it has already run over 20,000 trials on 6,800+ tasks.

Why it matters
Robotics teams and researchers get a common public test for robot-policy claims, instead of relying only on each lab's own setup. Academic groups can apply for the free evaluation hours to test their models. The paper's finding suggests that out-of-the-box rankings may not hold after fine-tuning, so results on shared tests are worth checking before choosing a model.
