Anthropic's Embody benchmark, which tested 12 language models with physical robots, revealed that models struggle when directly controlling joints but perform well when supervising pre-trained controllers. The findings suggest that a model's capability is more dependent on its access level than its inherent abilities. Interestingly, a simple compass providing directional orientation proved more useful than complex tools like depth maps or segmentation masks for the models. AI
IMPACT Highlights that LLM performance in complex tasks like robotics is heavily influenced by how they are integrated and given access to tools, rather than solely their internal capabilities.
