On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, OpenAI's latest AI model trained a virtual robot to walk in simulation within hours, a speed that could reshape robotic learning.
The model used OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol, an agentic harness from Nous Research and Nvidia software to guide a virtual robot, then watched video of its actions and suggested training tweaks. It eventually helped the robot walk without toppling over. The approach builds on OpenAI's Astra and a Nvidia-backed framework that turned video clips of real robots into detailed simulations. Real-world robot reliability remains difficult.
