Ai2’s MolmoAct 2 Is the Open Robot Model Built for the Real World
In the race to build robots that can work reliably in the physical world, proprietary models have held a clear advantage. However, that edge is narrowing. The Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) on Thursday released its next-generation MolmoAct model, which outperforms popular rival, Physical Intelligence’s (PI) π0.5, across simulations, zero-shot real-world tasks, and third-party evaluations. […]
Ai2 Rethinks Robotics Training With a Simulation-First Approach to Physical AI
Researchers at the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) say they’ve achieved a breakthrough in physical AI: zero-shot sim-to-real transfer. This milestone allows robotic models trained entirely in simulation to perform tasks in the real world without requiring any real-world data, making it significantly easier to move knowledge from virtual training to actual robots. To mark […]
Microsoft Launches Agent 365, a Control Plane to Manage and Govern AI Workers at Scale
Microsoft is unveiling a new platform called Agent 365 that will integrate identity and governance into all AI agents, eliminating the need for it to be done as an afterthought. It extends the infrastructure IT departments use to manage employee access to agents. The first agent powered by this product is Microsoft’s new Sales Development […]
