burny_tech · x · 2026-09-23
Microsoft released rho-roboeval on Hugging Face, part of its newly formed Rho collection — a family of six physical AI models for robotic manipulation.
The model is MIT-licensed, 5B parameters, in BF16/F32 Safetensors. No inference provider is attached yet and the model card is empty, but the launch signals Microsoft's push into open physical-AI models worth tracking.
