Andrew Hart

I’m making amazing progress on building a new foundation for robot intelligence. I've skipped through a few placeholder names for my frontier research lab, but it deserves a serious name now. Introducing Base Intelligence. If you’re following me today, you’re in at the ground level, and I greatly appreciate that. You might remember my last startup, Hyper, where we solved the indoor GPS problem, and rolled it out with IKEA as the future of their shopping experience. Before that, I pioneered AR navigation (now integrated in Google Maps) and built the largest open source project for Apple’s AR platforms. When it comes to successfully developing new technologies and leading a lab, the number 1 requirement is a clear technical vision. You can’t just follow the status quo, or incrementally improve on what already exists. I’ve been saying that we need a new architecture for intelligence for almost 4 years. And now with Base Intelligence, I’m going to follow my vision and make it happen.

soo i might be losing my Fable access tomorrow 😵 i’m on the $200 max plan too

Just finished my first event —> Touching Grass at Jubilee Park 🌿 I had one of the most productive chats I’ve ever had with @AndrewHart! We talked about our lives, robot intelligence, and running AI sessions in .ipynb for faster code testing 🔥🔥🔥 And we touched grass 👌

@raywongy I can’t wait for the emails. All of Jony’s emails will be like: The aluminium chamfered edges have a level of polish unprecedented in our industry. The loop clicks with a precise finish. Jony, we just asked if we should recruit this guy or not.

Who actually believes Jony Ive and Evans Hankey weren’t aware of what Tang Tan was illegally doing? Sure they’re not named in the lawsuit between Apple and OpenAI but come on

@e1daru I’ll come along!

Here is a meetup to chill with devs and founders this Saturday: luma.com/9q6unys2

y’know, just some “former Apple leaders”

i’m not a great photographer but this room in the lisbon hacker house is amazing this is where the MRR happens 💰

Have you ever witnessed Europeans work past 6pm? This is Hacker House Lisboa and we’re locked in. We’re up in @afonsocrg amazing country house for the week.

Reppin the Portuguese start-up scene in an Ericiera hacker house this week 🙌

The robot looks good and an exciting direction. But fire whoever made this cringe faux-Apple design video. From the extreme close ups of chamfered edges down to the Jony Ive head of design and British voiceover.

Hacker House Lisbon lets goooo we’re going to build so many robots

just seen the news about Anthropic on linkedin! exciting they’ve launched Fable, i hope it goes well for them.

i’m the only person i know who arrives into a new country and first thing i do is go to a coffee shop with my computer at 9pm 👨‍💻

cheguei, amigos! 🇵🇹

@bzamayo can you ask when you’ll need to pickup mom from the airport

Just got into Siri AI ... asked 'when was my flight last month?' and it knew. Good start.

i forgot everyone in apple keynotes have the personality of the hive in Pluribus

It’s obviously intentional that the Siri demos are uncut, including loading times. They want to rebuild trust!

i feel like they have a lot of updates to iOS, macOS etc but they had to squeeze it into a whistlestop tour so they could waste 30 minutes pandering to governments who aren’t even watching. why do developers care about this? #wwdc26

The Boring Bit™️ #wwdc26

June 2024: Apple's Marketing SVP cringes when Gruber says "Let me give you a slogan. Siri: this time, we mean it." Gianandrea (now "retired" to "spend more time with his family") follows up with "The first thing I said to the Siri team: failure is not an option". Everyone laughs. Maybe they'll ship it this year. Maybe.

FAO Claude Code team: this data is incorrect. Here are two screenshots, 18 days apart, and you can see data literally disappearing from the graph. On June 6th I used almost 1m credits within Claude Code, and yet it shows up as 0. Plz fix.
