@JLopas Who’s building this?

Someone should solve this

Intelligent improvisation might be one of the most critical emergent properties for commercial robotics. Contextually understanding what to do and what not to do when something goes wrong is nontrivial

@GeneralistAI what other emergent properties do you think would be valuable that you haven’t already seen?

Introducing GEN-1. Our latest milestone in scaling robot learning. We believe it to be the first general-purpose AI model to master simple physical tasks. 99% success rates, 3x faster speeds, adapts in real time to unexpected scenarios, w/ only 1 hour of robot data. More🧵👇

@BaslyAsma DMed!

We are back in SF Any robotics builders here? Would love to connect!!

@GeneralistAI Bullish.

You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️

@jefielding Marine / cow hollow for sure

A founder is moving west and asked me to recommend the West Village of SF. Doesn’t really exist really. Maybe Dolores Park is the best comp?

@TheRealAk914 @WillowVoiceAI @elise_ai Was literally about to send this to you

@WillowVoiceAI we’d love to try the API when it’s ready at @elise_ai !!

Introducing Atlas 1. Willow's new frontier speech-to-text model. It outperforms ElevenLabs, Deepgram, OpenAI, and more by a wide margin. Built on the first scalable, human-powered transcription infrastructure ever built for real-time dictation.

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

@_i_am_arya Incredible! Bullish

Today, we're announcing Heaviside, our foundation model for electromagnetism. Trained on tens of millions of designs and over 20 years of proprietary simulation data, Heaviside predicts electromagnetic behavior from geometry in 13ms, which is 800,000x faster than a commercial solver. Heaviside is not a language model, and it’s not a surrogate model. Heaviside marks a new class of foundation model for physics which understands the fundamental relationships between materials, the geometries and the electromagnetic fields they generate. We’re releasing a research preview of Heaviside in Atlas RF Studio, an interactive agentic sandbox where you describe the EM behavior you want and the model generates the physical structure that produces it. @arenaphysica , we believe the implications of this class of model extend well beyond RF, as the frontier of exquisite hardware is electromagnetically-governed: wireless communication, radar, power delivery, high-speed computing, and the interconnects inside every chip on earth. In the months ahead, we’re excited to scale up Heaviside to broader frequency ranges, design spaces, and to support silicon-level designs, and deploy it with our closest partners and collaborators in service of their biggest design challenges. If you’ve read our thesis, this is just Step 2 in our pursuit of electromagnetic superintelligence. Read the full announcement and try Atlas RF Studio…tell us what you think: arenaphysica.com/publications/r…

@comma_ai @sendcutsend Noice

Inspired by @SendCutSend, we’re building out SlackCutSend in this space! Haas CNC, lathe, SLA printers. Feeds + speeds > expedition fees from China Email adeeb@comma.ai if you want to help build and run the internal prototyping shop for all new comma products.

@shiri_shh Who else is building in this space? I’m looking to invest

Why is no one talking about DATA CENTRE in Space? Starcloud just raised $170 million in Series A hitting $1.1 billion valuation in record time. This is the same company that launched a small satellite carrying the first NVIDIA H100 GPU ever into orbit. Now they’ve filed with the FCC for 88,000 satellites to build full-scale orbital data centers. And right before that, Elon Musk’s SpaceX filed for One MILLION satellites aimed at the exact same goal: turning low Earth orbit into giant AI compute farms. SpaceX + Starcloud are racing to make Dyson Swarm real.

@ax_pey now this is the winner right here

@javiercorrea i'll take the "bring me a beer from the other side of the office" for 10k

The winning team imo will give the robot one abstract voice command and walk away No staging, no teleop, no babysitting The robot surveys the space, builds its own task plan, recovers from failure mid-execution, and handles a voice interrupt without derailing If you can predict what the robot does next, you’re not winning

@ax_pey would bet $50k one team says “fold laundry” haha

@javiercorrea let's open a polymarket i have absolutely no idea what the winners are gonna do there's so much possible

The winning team imo will give their robot a command so abstract that even they don’t fully know how it’ll execute “Make the place presentable.” “Set the table for three.” The robot surveys, reasons, plans, and acts. If there’s a wrong cabinet opened and recovered from gracefully, even better. That moment is proof you’re not running a script

Time to build general-purpose robots, on hardware made in SF We are bringing @NASA @GoogleDeepMind @scale_AI and more at @ycombinator for a general-purpose robotics hackathon Each team will have a robot and compete across all Al modalities to make the coolest AI project ⬇️

@hausman_k It’s surreal how quickly VLAs are becoming pervasive

breathe intelligence into everything that moves 🦾 great work from Stanford on using π0 for drone control

Incredible application of VLAs in a non-manipulator embodiment We’ll be seeing autonomy everywhere

@jaskirat Looking to angle 📐

We are raising. Looking for angles and VCs around hardware/neurotech.

@utk7arsh Dm me

@javiercorrea Thanks. Would love to connect and learn more

Robotics startups: what skills are you looking for in interns at this time? Would love to chat :)
