    Xingyuan Intelligence Releases Cross-Embodiment Data Engine Chorus, Untangling the Challenges of the Embodied Data Pipeline

    Xingyuan Intelligence has released Chorus (Zhongxing), a cross-embodiment data engine for robot pre-training, which can convert human manipulation data collected by devices such as smart glasses, chest-mounted cameras, wrist cameras, and UMI into training data adapted to different robot embodiments. Xingyuan claims that the average usable data conversion rate has risen to 85%, that it adapts to 16 robot embodiments under the current test configuration, and that the processing cost per hour of effective robot trajectories has dropped to 15 yuan; combined with 3x instruction augmentation, this can achieve roughly 40x expansion of effective training data. The article also outlines the difficulties in the five stages of embodied data—filtering, annotation, motion conversion, validation, and feedback iteration—as well as the respective shortcomings of four types of data sources: real robots, simulation, UMI, and human first-person videos.

    The Efficient-Large-Model team, composed of researchers from NVIDIA and MIT, has released the model weights for the video enhancement project Open-H3-Regenerate-2K on Hugging Face, with the accompanying inference code now available in the NVlabs/Sana repository. Based on MiniMax H3, the solution regenerates low-resolution video drafts into high-resolution video, supports 2K output at 2560×1440, and can achieve native 4K regeneration at up to 3840×2160. The team kept the H3 Transformer backbone and video VAE parameters unchanged, training only the newly added refinement LoRA; at inference time it is merged with community adapters such as LightX2V FL2VA Turbo and LMS Sharp, regenerating image details through three-step denoising. On a single NVIDIA B200 GPU, the combined time for latent-space upscaling, three-step refinement, and 2K decoding of an approximately 5-second video dropped from 87.26 seconds to 22.45 seconds, about 3.9 times faster than before; on RefinerBench-150, UniPercept averaged 60.0, compared with 53.4 for the official H3-Regenerate-2K API.
