ACE-Brain-0.6

ACE Robotics, founded by SenseTime co-founder Xiaogang Wang, released ACE-Brain-0.6, a spatial grounding model for robots that beat GPT-6 Astra on six of eight grounding benchmarks.

ACE-Brain-0.6 is built by supervised fine-tuning of Qwen3.5-9B on about 1 million spatial-grounding samples. It identifies objects, locates them in images and works out where a robot can interact with them. The company reports an average of 74.53 across seven public benchmarks and 94.13 on RobotGrounding, against 73.68 and 91.10 for GPT-6 Astra.
