## Summary

Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue says the company released LeRobot v0.7.0, adding world action models, interactive robot control, and remote GPU inference. He says LeRobot has been downloaded over 1M times and that the platform now hosts almost 100,000 public robotics datasets and over 30,000 public robotics models.

## Post

Open-source is critical for robotics AI. It means a student, a researcher or a startup can build on years of progress and contribute something the whole community can use rather than concentrating everything in a few companies building a black-box robot. 

That’s why we’re building @huggingface into the platform for open-source robotics AI! Amazing to see the progress we've made in the six months and it's accelerating!

- Almost 100,000 public robotics datasets on http://hf.co/datasets, up 48%
- Over 30,000 public robotics models, up 41%
- Microduck and Reachy mini, our open-source robots became the most popular robot of 2026 (probably ending the year with 50,000+ sold and 20,000+ shipped)
- We’re a founding partner of @RoboColosseum, evaluating robots across 140+ real-world scenes. Every run is published publicly on HF, including failures, so everyone can learn from what actually happens.

And @LeRobotHF got downloaded over 1M times and v0.7.0 just landed with new world action models, interactive robot control and remote GPU inference: https://huggingface.co/blog/lerobot/lerobot-release-v070!

Huge thanks to everyone making this happen 🤗🦾
