NVIDIA's next-generation GR00T N2 VLA model — co-led by Jim Fan as head of NVIDIA's embodied AI research — achieved the #1 ranking on both the MolmoSpaces and RoboArena robot benchmarks with 2x the success rate of leading competitors. Announced alongside the Isaac GR00T reference robot at Computex, this represents NVIDIA's strongest claim yet in the physical AI software stack. For builders in robotics, GR00T N2 is now the model to beat for humanoid manipulation tasks.
