.@GoogleDeepMind showed Gemini 4 Argon a video of a human playing cornhole, @Apptronik's Apollo 2 then sank seven consecutive shots on real hardware The model watched the human demo, mapped the environment, built a MuJoCo simulation autonomously, and generated whole-body joint movements, weeks of manual simulation modeling compressed to hours Argon also generated 4,500+ simulated episodes for VLA fine-tuning, raising real-world task success from 56% to 75%
