Léo(@LeoKharon):Robotics deep dive: THE GPT MOMENT FOR ROBOTS? Two labs, six days apart, taught a robot a new task from one demonstration. No training, no fine-tuning. You demonstrate, it replicates. Generalist's GEN-1.5 (Aug 19) proved it works: one short robot demo, 3 to 12 seconds, 59% success on the first try. Skild's S1 (Aug 25) proved it scales: 10 minute tasks it had never seen, from one video, and that one video does the work of about 380 recorded training demos. Caveat: no weights, no API, nothing reproduced outside either lab. Two impressive demos, but still private companies' claims. If it truly generalizes, programming a robot becomes prompting one. Hence the "GPT moment for robotics".
