A month ago @pravsels and I set out to reproduce @physical_int’s RL Token paper. Today, I am sharing our research notes from the journey we’ve 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 👀
a single popular robot like the Microduck will generate demand for ~1m actuators
dear investors, why aren't you funding more startups in the robotics hardware layer?
Wonderful to see the data from ArmnetBench v0.1 being used for interesting applications like this! Great work @josefchen !!
If you like robots, you should listen in on
@zaringleb 's Robot Learning Collective paper club, or come in person in London🇬🇧 if you're around!
I will be presenting the FACTR and FACTR 2 papers along with a live demo 🤖

At least I managed to sneak some time to build a cool robot demo for a Paper Club run by the Robot Learning Collective this evening 👀 after making the slides of course!

not entirely sure when this happened but somehow my job has become making slide decks and proposals
i think I worked on a different slide deck or proposal every day this week 🫠
Exciting new training recipe, if you train robots Paul is someone whose work you should follow :)
Last year I trained the advantage-conditioned VLA for π*0.6 during my internship @physical_int. Now, I have a much improved recipe.

Another takeaway after three years of building a company is that the returns to just "being a good person", and not acting transactionally, are higher than I expected.
There are so many transactional, boring, and at times immoral people in the tech industry that if you act with sustained warmth, authenticity, humor, and integrity, great gifts will be laid before you. White pill.
Always love being welcomed home by the beautiful English weather 🏴😍 California was too hot anyway
SF is awesome but I will make a hot take claim
I think we might have passed peak SF?
Last summer it felt like the only place you could build a successful AI company was SF. Accelerators rushed to relocate their portcos here
But is SF the right place for the age of deployment?
Is this how @sundayrobotics transport the robots? Or is Memo driving the van?
@chichengcc can you confirm 😄
annoying thing about sitting in a cafe next to the window is having the sun move, requiring you to adjust your seat every few mins to stay in the shade of the tree blocking it
