## Summary

SenseTime's Astra reaches 100% on LIBERO-Long++ and 81.9% on RoboDojo; the stronger the general-purpose brain, the more easily a robot body that conforms to standard interfaces can be swapped out as a "peripheral." Using Unitree's real-machine data flywheel, Zhiyuan's 3/4 R&D investment in the large and small brains, and Galaxy General's AstraBrain-WBC 0.5 trained on 2 billion frames of motion-capture data (92.58% zero-shot motion-tracking success rate, 0.39 ms inference latency) as examples, the article proposes three criteria: depth of in-house development at the execution layer, data return rate, and scenario replacement cost.
