Academic collaboration that released Octo, an open-source transformer-based generalist robot policy trained on 800k Open X-Embodiment trajectories.
Octo is an open-source transformer-based generalist robot manipulation policy, released in May 2024 (arXiv 2405.12213) and published at Robotics: Science and Systems 2024. It was trained on 800k trajectories from the Open X-Embodiment dataset, accepts language commands or goal images, and can be fine-tuned to new sensors and action spaces on consumer GPUs. The authors, credited as the Octo Model Team, are affiliated with UC Berkeley, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University and Google DeepMind.

#40 of 104 model companies · score 40.6 / 100 · updated 19 Oct 2026
Each bar shows an input from 0 to 100% before weighting. 1 of 1 listed models have open weights. Most-starred official repository: octo-models/octo (1.8k stars, 19 Oct 2026).
The score (0–100) measures public, checkable evidence about a company's robot models. It does not measure private capability. A company that publishes no benchmark results and no weights can still have strong models. Every input is computed from the data on each company page, and every number there links to its source.
| Input | Weight | How it is measured |
|---|---|---|
| Published benchmarks | 35% | For each scored benchmark, the company's best result divided by the best result any company has published, averaged over the benchmarks it reports. No published results scores 0. Results come only from the model's own paper, model card or the official benchmark leaderboard. Scored: LIBERO (4-suite average success, %); SimplerEnv Google Robot, visual matching (%); SimplerEnv Google Robot, variant aggregation (%); SimplerEnv WidowX / Bridge (%); CALVIN ABC→D (average length, 0–5); RoboArena (pairwise rating). |
| Open weights | 20% | Share of the company's listed models whose weights the public can download. |
| Adoption | 20% | GitHub stars on the company's most-starred official model repository, on a log scale relative to the most-starred repository in the list. Hugging Face downloads are shown on company pages but not scored, because gated repositories report zero. |
| Released models | 15% | Number of publicly announced, named models, capped at 5. |
| Disclosed funding | 10% | The sum of the funding rounds listed on the company's profile that were disclosed in USD, on a log scale from $10M to the largest sum in the list. Rounds reported only in other currencies are listed but not converted or counted. This input applies only to private startups and robot makers. For big-tech divisions, research labs and listed companies it is n/a, and its weight is shared across the other inputs in proportion. |

Updated 19 Oct 2026. Benchmark protocols differ between papers, for example in fine-tuning and number of trials, so small gaps between close scores are not meaningful.
