PPO has long dominated robot locomotion training in simulation. SAC, despite its sample efficiency, couldn't keep up.
We analyze why:

🔥Integrated into RSL-RL, our approach requires only minimal changes, making SAC a drop-in alternative out of the box.
A year ago, I asked all LLMs back then (claude 3.7 + grok 3 + deepseek v3 + gemini 2.5 + deep research) to predict the next 5 years of progress and partially to assess the plausability of the AI 2027 report.
One thing the report got is that all the labs are focusing on recursive improvement e.g. with Codex 5.3 helping created Chat Gpt 5.4 and so on i.e. "closing the loop".
Anyway, this year, new prompt and new models. Getting more quantitative and then will ask chatgpt 5.4 to summarise all answers and compare. Getting a bit meta to ask multiple AI agents to predict future progress of AI and compare previous forecasts. Grok is supposed to be optimised on forecasting accuracy!
Summary from ChatGPT of below answers from 5.4, gemini, grok and claude 4.6 sonnet:
Software development has changed so rapidly, even over last month... Gonna listen to their book.

omg, we live in the future, claude is taking control of my browser to add my dishwasher and 15 other items as ads in ebay (kleinanzeigen) and facebook marketplace.

The first 100% autonomous coast-to-coast drive on Tesla FSD V14.2! 2 days 20 hours, 2732 miles, zero interventions.
This one is special because the coast-to-coast drive was a major goal for the autopilot team from the start. A lot of hours were spent in marathon clip review sessions late into the night looking over interventions as we attempted legs of the drive over time - triaging, categorizing, planning out all the projects to close the gap and bring the number of interventions to zero.
Amazing to see the system actually get there and huge congrats to the team!
I am proud to announce that I have successfully completed the world’s first USA coast to coast fully autonomous drive!
I left the Tesla Diner in Los Angeles 2 days & 20 hours ago, and now have ended in Myrtle Beach, SC (2,732.4 miles)
This was accomplished with Tesla FSD V14.2 with absolutely 0 disengagements of any kind even for all parking including at Tesla Superchargers.
Somehow missed this. Always love Minecraft/open-ended papers!
Voyager paper blew my mind, but used code-gen on the Mineflayer API! 2022 pixel-to-action papers below are similar but used fine tuning. But this is with only offline data! I think very relevant for robotics.
