The trick: Self-Marked

Google says its new robot brain is the most capable ever.

Google is also the only one keeping score.

Issue 410 August 20263 receipts3 min

Gemini Robotics ER 2 is Google DeepMind's most capable embodied reasoning model, with 91.3% timing accuracy and the highest accuracy across every core capability.

Before you read on. Your call?

read the fine print on 'highest accuracy'. Highest against what? Every benchmark cited traces back to Google's own evaluations, and the tech press repeats the same 91.3% without an independent run.

The twist

the model may well be excellent. Nobody outside Google has confirmed it, and 'most capable' with a single scorer is a press release, not a result.
