A month ago @pravsels and I set out to reproduce @physical_intās RL Token paper. Today, I am sharing our research notes from the journey weāve been on.

"RL Token" looks like a great and surprisingly simple post-training methodology for optimising robot models for dexterous tasks in the real world!
Over the next few weeks, me and @pravsels will be attempting to reproduce the results (& open source the code)
Stay tuned š
more companies should do their official statements in spanish

Last week, we announced @Machenta_.
This week, we brought a robot to the middle of London's Kingās Cross station.
Just to see what would happen.
For the first time, we let members of the public walk up with their own objects and teach a robot on the spot.
Instant Robot Learning IRL.
Hereās what we saw.
Looks like super useful work by the @OpenAI team š
I'd love to hear from Linux maintainers how they are managing an increased volume of fixes like these in their testing and release processes
Our security researchers built an autonomous cyber vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and patching pipeline.
In a single run with an upcoming cyber model, it validated and generated patches for 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel at a total API cost of $1.2 million.

my goodness this meme is incredible, i've never seen the idiocy of the Tech Right distilled down so well
>"let's keep telling everyone AI is gonna take all the jobs, let's see how that goes"
>populace hates AI
>"aw shit how did that happen? well at least we're building tons of datacenters to let the AI take everyone's jobs, nice"
>populace bans datacenters

astra, hand-write the weights of a SOTA world-action model
7B more to go, make absolutely no mistakes

In-house for now, we have full time crew to do this for now.
But might open up to more founding partners to join in the future!
here's what happens to SO-101 actuator gearboxes after running real-world RL 24/7 for a few months
Had to stop an SO101 after it was making loud and strange noises.
Turns out one of the motorsā gear had worn off, likely from running 1000s of RL rollouts by one of our partners.
Feetechs are definitely not suitable for constant usage!

has anyone tried running VLAs/WAMs on DGX Spark? lots of memory but is the latency good enough for multiple denoising steps at reasonable latency?

if LLMs can hand-write weights for LLMs, are neural networks with weights even the right abstraction?
if we don't need backprop there's probably an architecture or system design that works far better for this workflow š¤

A reminder that London is the best place in Europe for building cool stuff
could have been a humanoid š
(seriously though, a really impressive robot that does one important task well and reaches payload capacity far in excess of a general purpose robot while being cheaper and less likely to break!)
We're thrilled to announce Stretch Gen 2, the next generation of our autonomous mobile trailer unloading robot!
"Our customers count on Stretch to keep freight moving, and every hour a robot sits idle is an hour of work that piles up on the dock. With Gen 2, we focused on the things that actually took robots offline in the real world. We made it tougher, we made it simpler to service, and we made sure it keeps getting better long after it's deployed." - Brian Donnelly, VP & GM - Logistics Robotics
