The obvious answer is "neither". How's a sprinting robot going to react when the wifi goes out, or there's too many people writing code and the models decide to take a nap? You want a local model for a robot, not only for low latency, but reliable safe operation. VLA models as small as 0.4B work fine, up to something like 55B.
A robot is sprinting towards you. Do you want it running on Claude or Grok?

#133Well, if it is running off of Anthropic's infra, then Claude?

#134If the robot appears to be bringing me a taco, it would probably penetrate all of my defenses. Grok is currently more likely than Claude to arrive with the taco without being stopped by an export control directive.
My last thought in life would be “wow they take taco delivery really seriously”

I'm reminded of the Alameda Weehawken burrito tunnel: https://idlewords.com/2007/04/the_alameda_weehawken_burrito_...
The single most implausible idea in that article is that New York City would be able to so completely outbid the SF Bay Area for burritos.
Proper burritos for lunch enables Wall Street finance firms to reach new heights of excellence, propelling a feedback loop that leaves SF bereft.

> maybe we could just not have robots that sprint That would make it less effective in situations that would be better handled if sprinting was a feature.
Thinking about that - seems to me that a lot of situations where sprinting is called for might be better served by a flying robot.
We already have flying drones. And giving ground robots the ability to fly requires the resolution of a set of constraints that'd likely make them far less suitable for their primary task. For example, they'd need to be far lighter, which means less durability and they'd be more bulky with flying equipment, so they wouldn't fit in places that before they had no issue fitting. There's a reason humans didn't evolve wings.

#137Ya know, maybe we could just not have robots that sprint. Seems people would be more willing to accept living amongst robots that are slow and that humans could easily over power.
This is how regulation will look someday.

How do you know this is written by AI? Why does it matter if it is?
If you're outsourcing your writing to AI, I assume you're outsourcing your thinking to it as well. And I don't really care what some weighted average of all human text written on the topic "thinks."
Your argument is basically ad hominem. Ideas should be evaluated on merit.

#139I don't care what model it is, long as its not trespassing on my property, and has been QA'd extensively. I also don't want a model broadcasting my entire house over to some server farm somewhere.

#140meh, first the battle royales destroyed gaming, now they will destroy llms and possibly us too
