DeepInsight: A Unified Evaluation Infrastructure Across the Physical AI Stack

arXiv:2606.17574v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating a Physical AI stack spans operators that differ by more than three orders of magnitude -- from a single foundation-model decoding step to thousands of physics ticks of whole-body control -- varying orthogonally in modality, reward semantics, and resource profile. No existing framework spans this range, so the stack is evaluated today by stitching together separate harnesses that share neither runtime nor scoring, preserving each segment's local validity but losing the shared identity needed to diagnose cross-layer regressions. We prese

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing complexity and integration of physical AI systems necessitate a unified evaluation framework to ensure robust and reliable performance across the entire stack.

Why it’s important

A standardized infrastructure for evaluating Physical AI will accelerate development, improve reliability, and enable more effective deployment of complex AI systems, reducing current fragmentation.

What changes

Current fragmented evaluation processes for physical AI will be replaced by a unified system, allowing for comprehensive performance diagnosis and better cross-layer optimization.
