LLMs on robots jump real-world success from 16.7% to 97.3%

Tri Dao says putting an LLM “brain” on robots delivered a 4× SOTA jump without extra training.
The quoted post reports a simple composition idea: LLMs think, robot policies move, so connect the two. The claimed results are stark:
- Real robot: success rate improves from 16.7% to 97.3%
- Simulation (LIBERO-PRO): 12.8% to 53.3%
He says he was surprised by how well the approach works and argues that agentic robots may arrive sooner than expected.
