Version boundary

The original Helix announcement concerns upper-body control. Helix 02 expands the described control boundary to whole-body behavior; a comparison must say which generation it evaluates.

Reported benchmark results

Context before scores. Results from different benchmarks are not directly comparable. A simulation result does not establish real-world reliability, safety or commercial availability.
No result meets our complete revision and methodology requirements for this record yet. Inspect the original benchmark documentation before comparing published scores.

What this evidence does not establish

  • Exact downloadable model revision and public weight license were not verified.
  • Demonstration outcome does not prove production reliability.

Relationships & deployments

Related reading is an editorial crosslink. Sourced connections describe relationships reported in the cited material. A link to a versioned profile does not establish compatibility with that version unless the connection note explicitly identifies it.
