We need world models.
So this is what people like Fei-Fei Li or Yann LeCun are talking about.
They think you need basically the robot to understand the physical rules of the world before it can start to navigate that.
And then there are obviously some other approaches that are emerging, but there's no really a clear consensus.
And I think so much of it really depends on people now trying to do massive data collection.
so that the robots can get smarter by being trained as many contexts as possible.
And in China, this has manifested in these data factories for robots.
And I think Xiaomi's founder, Lei Jun, recently posted one such example of a humanoid doing something like this in his EV factory, where you have humanoids being tested out in different settings.
And then there are also people who are going down the simulation route, which is to simulate a lot of data.
But the quality of that is up for debate.
Yeah, I would say that there are people in the industry like Wang Singxing, who is the founder of Unitree, who basically thinks general purpose humanoids are three to five years away.
But obviously he's a believer.
Some people think the timeline is a lot longer.
Yeah, I mean, distillation definitely happens.
And I've seen, you know, what Anthropic has published.
Some of those are like very small number of instances.
Some are huge, like a more egregious like Minimax.
But I think my personal take is distillation is a very widespread industry practice.
Someone like Elon has said that as well.
XAI distills from OpenAI.
