Zero-Shot

A new Apple paper introduces AMP1, a harness that lets general-purpose frontier models such as Claude Opus 5.5 and Gemini 4 Argon control a robot arm in a closed loop using camera views, code execution and direct motion commands, with no demonstrations or task-specific training. It achieves 85.6% zero-shot success on RoboLab-120 versus 49.2% for the best VLA and 42.9% for the best world-action model, and succeeds in 104 of 108 trials on a real Franka arm, though the robot idles much of each episode waiting on model inference.
