Pilot R-CI robotics index shows Gemini outscoring GPT and Claude at equal general capability
keerthanpg · x · 2026-10-16
Building on Epoch's Capabilities Index (E-CI), drewtnguyen piloted a small Robotics Capabilities Index (R-CI) using robot-arm tasks like "Stack Bowls" and "Cap Pen" to evaluate frontier models.
Early finding: at equal general AI capability, Gemini models outperform GPT and Claude on robotics — a gap that existed even before Astra. The author also notes one existing eval tracks R-CI better; details in the thread.
