Meet HopeJr, a full humanoid robot lowering the barrier to entry! Capable of walking, manipulating many objects, open-source and costs under $3000 🤯 Designed by Rob Knight and Hugging Face 👇

an open-source humanoid for under $3k open-source is coming to hardware and this is just the beginning

Today, we're unveiling two new open-source AI robots! HopeJR for $3,000 & Reachy Mini for $300. DM me if you want to be added to the waitlist 🤖🤖🤖 Let's go open-source AI robotics!

They vape now? I’m so replaced.

What if the brain is a physical implementation of Schrödinger’s cat? By minimizing prediction error, it shields itself from environmental entropy — preserving coherence just enough to let quantum effects persist and amplify into action. Free will as quantum insulation 😆

The Worldwide LeRobot hackathon is in 2 weeks, and we have been cooking something for you… Introducing SmolVLA, a Vision-Language-Action model with light-weight architecture, pretrained on community datasets, with an asynchronous inference stack, to control robots🧵

If we look at conversational LLMs as agents, where user-typed queries = observations and LLM output responses = actions, then pure next-token prediction is a game in which the LLM generates tokens that make the users more and more predictable, until they all finally shut up.

Smooth!

🎁 We have a surprise for LeRobot worldwide hackathon, with Michel Aractingi we released HIL-SERL on LeRobot! 🚀 > Distributed RL Training > Human in the loop Here’s a slow-mo video of our ‘Zidane-like’ policy, trained with HIL-SERL in just 10 minutes of training! ⚽️

We went for drinks with Hugging Face and LeRobot team earlier today, and realized humanoids don't play video games just yet---we just changed that

“Well yeah there’s a hand in my bag but I can explain”

Today, we're releasing an open-source async inference stack for all models currently hosted on Hugging Face, powering the world's cutest robots, built with love by the team at LeRobot Details in 🧵

We're open-sourcing HopeJR! A 23DOF 3d-printable humanoid arm + controller for only 500€! Available now @ github.com/huggingface/le…
