Robot dev claims GPT6 as policy stacks boxes zero-shot at near-100% success
builds_robots · x · 2026-09-21
Robot developer buildsrobots demoed an aggressive approach: using GPT6 directly as a robot policy that outputs end-effector-frame actions from two RGB-D cameras and instructions, with no task-specific training.
Two test tasks:
- "Find a wooden box (can be obscured) and put it on the yellow sign"
- "Stack the wooden boxes on each other"
The author claims amazing performance — near 100% success given unlimited tokens and retries. In follow-up discussion, ChongZzZhang noted the model can deliver individual skills and chain them via prompting, though a single task may take 30 minutes; token costs are very high and more dexterous tasks like folding boxes remain doubtful.
Caveat: this demo is from an individual developer, unverified, and the existence of "GPT6" cannot be confirmed.
