Nvidia's open-source ASPIRE system taught a robot to solve a Rubik's Cube

Nvidia has open-sourced ASPIRE, a system that uses large language models to write and debug Python code for robot control, achieving 99% success on complex tasks including solving a Rubik's Cube without trial-and-error training. This approach marks a shift from reinforcement learning toward code-as-policy robotics, making robot intelligence dependent on the reasoning power of AI models rather than hardware.
