Unseen homes, still imperfect execution

Figure reports 9% task success without Index pretraining and 56% with it across 30 unseen homes, for three trained task types. — Company-reported comparison, not independent validation. Homes and objects were unseen; task training occurred elsewhere. Source: Figure, September 17.

Figure reports 56% task success across 30 unseen homes with Helix 2.5, versus 9% without Index pretraining. Tests covered tidying, towel folding, and bed making; “zero-shot” refers to homes and objects, not untrained tasks.

Faster experiments are not smarter hypotheses

Nathan Lambert argues that agent swarms may make AI research cheaper before they expand peak intelligence. His distinction: automating measurable experiments is easier than generating hypotheses, building intuition, or overcoming compute and resource bottlenecks.
