You need to plan an accessible evaluation
Inspect each release’s current access terms before designing an experiment. A paper, demo or model-family name is not a guarantee of checkpoint availability.
Both releases address robot behavior, but partner access and published policy resources impose different evaluation paths. Keep exact revisions, tasks and robot embodiments attached to any result.

These are evaluation paths, not a ranking. Verify the current terms and run a task-specific trial before committing.
Inspect each release’s current access terms before designing an experiment. A paper, demo or model-family name is not a guarantee of checkpoint availability.
Use the same task distribution, observation inputs and embodiment, or clearly report the mismatch. No cross-benchmark total score is meaningful here.
