## Summary

Zhizhi Pingfang released NeuroVLA, a brain-inspired embodied intelligence system designed with a three-layer structure of cortex, cerebellum, and spinal cord; the spinal cord layer is driven by a spiking neural network, consumes 0.4 watts, and completes a reflex within 20 milliseconds after a collision. Qianxun Intelligence's Spirit v1.6 ranked first overall in the RoboArena evaluation, surpassing NVIDIA Cosmos3 and Physical Intelligence's π0.5. Leading companies have formed four routes—world-model-native, VLA and world model fusion, brain-inspired architecture, and unified model—but there is still no unified classification standard.
