made an unreasonably complicated carrier pigeon w/ @rohankalia_ in the process: called the FAA, circumnavigated the bay area looking for helium, and inhaled too much solder. thanks @neo for having us!

Introducing TRACE: deployment-time compute scaling for robot learning. From a few Tutor demos, frontier LLM agents rebuild a robot's task in sim and train reliable, human-speed policies. Performance becomes a function of compute. TI-0.1 is our first model trained with TRACE.
