We have seen rapid progress in humanoid control — specialist robots can reliably generate agile, acrobatic, but preset motions. Our singular focus this year: putting generalist humanoids to do real work. To progress toward this goal, we developed SONIC (https://t.co/zOZVraFuDV), a Behavior Foundation Model for real-time, whole-body motion generation that supports teleoperation and VLA inference for loco-manipulation. Today, we’re open-sourcing SONIC on GitHub. We are excited to see what the community builds upon SONIC and to collectively push humanoid intelligence toward real-world deployment at scale. 🌐 Paper: https://t.co/DGBP7LAvuT 📃 Code: https://t.co/WAZ1P13072
