Robot-Use Agents: Why General-Purpose Models May Win in Robotics

One of the big surprises the last few years has been the generalizability of coding agents across different domains. This led MIT professor Philip Isola to suggest in a recent viral essay that we may be entering the era of robot use agents, where general purpose models could make different robots more capable.

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of like, think, it's, including: And now frontier researchers are showing that this includes controlling robots.
