Solo project, still early (MVP week 1-2), sharing the first real result instead of a mockup. The idea : an open, standardized arena for evaluating embodied AI / VLA policies on physical reasoning tasks, with a public ELO-based ranking instead of static leaderboards. Motivation is the lack of a shar…
