China Mobile just open-sourced a bridge between Physical AI models and humanoid robots. China Mobile has released Open-RAIL, an open-source real-time execution layer for VLA and World Action Models . It tackles a practical problem in humanoid robots: The Physical AI model thinks in action chunks, while the robot body needs fast, continuous motion. Open-RAIL sits in between: VLA / WAM<->Open-RAIL <-> Humanoid Robot It handles asynchronous inference, temporal alignment, and trajectory smoothing, turning low-frequency model outputs into smoother, high-frequency motion. The project says it supports 20+ VLA/WAM models and 4 types of humanoid robots(Unitree G1/AgiBot G1/China Mobile Lingxi/NAVIAI-WA2), with tools for real-robot data collection and human intervention. In real-robot testing, Open-RAIL achieved up to 2.09× faster task execution while reducing motion jitter. Think of it as a real-time execution layer connecting robot AI models to humanoid robot bodies, making it easier to move different models across different humanoid robots.

ok but who signed for beijing
we spent another year arguing whether chatgpt is a weapon beijing spent it shipping models into classrooms and factories your kid got a hallway ban. cool trade
