After metrics kept missing degenerate gaits and LLM-iterated rewards hit the survival cliff, we tried a vision-language model as the fitness scorer. The VLM was harsher than metrics and produced actionable failure descriptions — and it scored a collapsing robot 62/100. The case study in honest fitness, plus the four-layer evaluation stack we landed on.
We ran NVIDIA's Eureka methodology — an LLM iteratively proposing reward functions for an RL agent — on cold-start humanoid bipedal walking. 24 candidates across two rounds, all fell by step 70. The LLM was thoughtful; the survival cliff was state-space coverage, not reward design.
Pure RL, physics priors, single-image poses, adversarial structural rewards, LLM-iterated rewards — five attempts to train a humanoid walker without mocap, five distinct ways the policy cheated. With the v16 'flamingo hopping' retraction the user caught.
