DEPLOY classifies humanoids by how close they are to a real purchase. Phoenix is emerging research: no consumer product, price, or date. For an emerging-manufacturer humanoid, the absence of consumer availability is the honest state, not a gap in our data.
Sanctuary's distinctive bet is a cognitive-architecture approach, pairing symbolic reasoning with learning, rather than the end-to-end foundation-model approach of several peers. It is an approach to watch, not a product to buy.
