The way this is rolled out is super weird. Ultra bold - shocking - claims by a credible researcher but zero details amidst tons of documentation and even code that would hint at how these two universes (model based simulation and model free generative models) are being unified beyond a lot of references to differentiable simulation…
The demo video on this post is excellent and really illustrates the potential for robotics, simulation, and animation/games. Great for sharing with anyone non-technical.
Begs the question, is this why Unitree has been advancing so quickly did they have access to this for the last year while it was being developed? I recall unitree showing mass simulated training of their robots in a physics based world recently.

Super exciting!

So this seems insane? Is it really that big or more of a problem demo with lots of drawbacks?
