For independent robot builders, NVIDIA paired the model with Isaac Lab 3.0 and shared benchmarks from RLWRLD and UC Berkeley, giving smaller teams such as Nexuni and MicroAGI a common training and evaluation path to test against their own robot brains. Jensen Huang's [NVIDIA](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/about-nvidia/corporate-timeline/?ref=runtimewire) announced GR00T 2 on November 9th in connection with the Conference on Robot Learning in Austin, Texas. NVIDIA describes GR00T 2 as an open frontier world action model for humanoid robots. NVIDIA did not specify when GR00T 2 would be available or how developers could access it.
