Robotics will not have a clean Llama moment
On a bench not long ago, a small quadruped turned cleanly to the right. The mirrored left turn dragged and lost contact. The legs had landed in different servo regions and loaded the body differently, so the same command did two different things. The code was symmetric; the contact mechanics were not. The Llama analogy works until the model has to move hardware. The original Llama paper gave software teams a reusable starting point. A team that did not pay for the training run could adapt the m
