Distillations of what I’m learning & thinking about.

@adamshuaib What’s the psychology here? Do our minds develop a “safe haven” in particular physical environments?

Scientific autoresearch will likely enable some of the largest breakthroughs of our lifetime. MHS looks to be a huge step in the right direction.

Which previously unreachable (physical) domains can benefit from autonomous exploration of their search space? What hardware can/will be designed to be natively controlled by an LLM?

Today, we're kicking off the first phase of the research preview for Model Hardware Standard (MHS): a new standard for AI agents to safely operate physical equipment in scientific research and advanced manufacturing.

We gave our AI system a spec, and in under 2 weeks, it designed, verified, and deployed a chip that beats NVIDIA.

It’s built for low-power physical AI workloads. We’re running live inference on >B+ parameter models like Llama, Qwen, and Kimi, serving at 3.4x better perf/watt than NVIDIA Jetson.

From just a specification, our AI system autonomously generated all of the RTL Design, UVM verification, formal proofs, firmware, drivers, and kernels, co-designing the model, software and silicon as one optimization loop.

Better AI can now design better chips to run AI, leading to a loop of recursive-self improvement towards our path to abundant intelligence.

Robotics platforms will soon be made widely available (financially) and open-source, sparking a wave of innovation in real-world capabilities.

I expect winners in the space will pioneer the “Arduino” moment for personal robotics.

One day, I want my own R2-D2!

Microduck, in action. 🦆

Walks, sits, roller skates, grabs objects with its beak, gets back up on its own. Out of the box.

Asking myself today: do I consistently surround myself with the 10 smartest people I know?

This question is deeper than “yes” or “no.” Take the time to list those 10 people out, and take action today to curate your environment.

The newest @paulg article is addressed to universities. But reading between the lines, I see a roadmap for how aspiring student founders should structure their time (despite the environment you find yourself in!)

The big ideas:

- Contextualize yourself by working hard to develop hard skills.
- Make a persistent effort to get inspired.
- Build. Over and over.

@ArnavAShah AYE lookin good!! 🛠️💪

[Nominal @Nominal_io]

We may be a little biased, but our interns are crushing it this summer. From Hack Week projects that have shaped our products to leading customer demos - thank you for making Nominal a better place. Happy National Intern Day!
