Jim Courier "I'm not saying electronic line calling is perfect but it makes far fewer mistakes than humans. Matches should be decided by the players not by people, not in 2026." Every other tournament uses Hawkeye except Roland Garros.


OpenAI Robotics is hiring, looking for exceptional full-stack hardware, ops, systems, and ML engineers to help us program and manufacture robots that are useful for society. AI should be able to help people in the physical world. In the short term, we are focused on robots to support skilled workers to build our future infrastructure; in the long term, we imagine everyone having a personal robot doing anything they need. Our world simulation research program, led by Aditya Ramesh (@model_mechanic), has evolved over the past year into OpenAI Robotics. Progress is rapid, and based on a foundation of co-design between robotics hardware and ML research. If you love working hands-on across the robotics stack and want to build the future, please consider joining us. Send an email with your background and evidence of exceptional accomplishment to: robotics-recruiting@openai.com

No better way to celebrate Memorial Day than with robots! 🦾🇺🇸 GPUs were spinning thru the night and now I’ve got ACT policy chaining at 100% success after ~50 trials. Watch this: one policy places the orange duck, the next removes it. Clean handoff every time. TLDR: Instead of one giant combined policy, I train small atomic ones (place specific color, remove it, etc.) and stitch them together. The technique: capture an image from the overhead cam, feed it to a multimodal LLM (OpenAI) alongside a few labeled workspace examples + a good prompt. The AI then selects the right policy or flags any error states. Has anyone tried this atomic + LLM-selector approach with VLA models? I'm curious how the performance compares vs using a larger generalized model.


One of my reliable signs that an early-stage company is in trouble: I walk in a few weeks after their seed round closes, and every employee is sitting in a $1,000 Aeron chair behind an automatic standing desk.

𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐬: 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐈 🤖 1. We're in the GPT-2.5 moment for robotics. Capabilities are real, but the gap between lab performance and field deployment remains wide. 2. Scaling laws are emerging. Data is expensive, capital is the moat. World models may be the shortcut. 3. Talent concentration will crown winners quickly. This is not a market where 50 companies win. 4. Near-term value will accrue to full-stack, vertically integrated players, not pure-play foundation model companies. 5. Defense robotics will produce the first $50B+ IPOs in the category. 6. There will be no robotics bubble. In fact, not enough capital is flowing into the industry.
