š„ What happened
Berkeley researchers dropped RPG, a framework that teaches robots new manipulation skills without touching model weights. It reconstructs practice tasks in simulation, diagnoses failures, and rewrites its own skill library and system prompt.
š” Why it matters
Success rate on 22 held-out tasks jumps from 28.6% to 95.0% after 15 practice rounds ā crushing GPT-6-powered baselines stuck at 60%. All 30 physical trials passed. Robot skills now scale without expensive finetuning.
ā” Our take
If you're still training weights, you're already behind. The future belongs to systems that debug themselves ā just like good engineers do.
