Robot brain builders are pushing out of their GPT-2 era | TechCrunch

物理 AI 领域正经历从 GPT-2 时代的过渡，尽管 Unitree 曾以 660 亿美元估值 IPO，但近期其市值暴跌近半。行业专家 Harry Mellsop 指出，通用机器人仍缺乏创造价值的能力，且高质量训练数据匮乏导致端到端学习尚未实现可靠的商业性能。开发者需通过多样化数据集、调整训练机制及优化强化学习场景来突破瓶颈，这需要更多数据和针对光线追踪优化的 GPU。目前自动驾驶汽车因能收集真实驾驶数据且主要任务是避障而非操作环境，处于领先地位；Wayve CEO Alex Kendall 认为操作机器人技术尚如五年前自驱动汽车般不成熟，但车企正将 ML 工具共享用于人形机器人研发，特斯拉 Optimus、Wayve 及 Uber 均已布局相关实验室。
