Lite 3 · Best for
Reinforcement learning training and algorithm development in university robotics labs
Adam-U · Best for
Vision-language-action (VLA) policy pretraining in simulation-to-real pipelines (teleop → imitation learning → autonomous deployment on fleet robots)
Final judgment
If immediate deployment is the priority, choose Lite 3. If the goal is to be ready when Adam-U's capabilities mature, track it.
