The releases include LingBot-VLA 2.0, a universal vision-language-action model trained on 60,000 hours of data from 20 robot types that claims to outperform Nvidia's GR00T and runs under 130ms latency on a consumer GPU; LingBot-Depth 2.0, which addresses the long-standing problem of robots failing to perceive glass and reflective surfaces; and LingBot-World 2.0, a world model that generates interactive 3D environments at 720p/60fps for up to an hour without quality degradation. The strategic rationale is to become the dominant software brain layer in China's crowded 100+ humanoid robot maker market, following a broader Chinese pattern of open-sourcing capable models to win developer adoption and set standards ahead of rivals like Nvidia. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
