Chinese team open-sources a 15B-parameter humanoid robot foundation model
lmoroney · x · 2026-11-11
A Chinese research team released an open-source Humanoid Foundation Model with roughly 15B parameters, with weights downloadable on Hugging Face. Positioned as a general-purpose base model for humanoid robots, it targets transfer to a variety of downstream tasks. Open weights significantly lower the entry barrier for humanoid robotics research, allowing the community to fine-tune and deploy directly—a notable open-source move in the embodied AI space.
