@zipengfu congrats!!

Brute force -> brute intelligence

@PinoZlatan @JLCPCB Yes codex checked stock, swapped a few parts for me. It read the spec sheet for the components to review.

As for me, I didn’t review at all😅 I’m a PCB noob so I just asked Astra if it’s confident in the design. Astra said yes, then I paid the cash

[Alan (Jialiang) Zhao @alanz_jl]

Astra helped me:
- designed this telescope star tracker PCB
- created the order for the PCB+assembly on @JLCPCB and checked component stock / optimized for cost along the way
- used OBS to record screen
- rendered and edited this video
Then I paid ~$200😅

I’d prefer if Astra first make $200 somewhere on the internet before creating the order

@Alacritic_Super @JLCPCB I used kistack skill and that’s it

[Alan (Jialiang) Zhao @alanz_jl]

@pequityresearch OpenClaw has done this lol

Beni is live on Kickstarter.

Your first camera robot that follows, jumps, flips, films, reacts, gets back up when he falls, and turns real moments into footage you can keep and share.

Super Early bird from $549. Shipping starts in October https://t.co/sSd6cMMWzK

Here's what Beni can do 🤖

Introducing GPT-Live, a new generation of voice models for natural human-AI interaction.

Rolling out in ChatGPT starting today.

You’ll want to turn the sound on for this one.

Today, we enable AutoResearch in the physical world for the first time! Introducing ENPIRE: we give 8 Codex agents a fleet of robots, an allocation of GPUs, and generous token budget. We set them free with a simple goal: solve the task as quickly as possible, keep the robots busy but stay safe, don't waste precious compute. Make no mistake.

Then humans step aside and our watch begins. The robot fleet starts to come alive: they learn to look for visual clues, reset the scene, practice novel skills, tinker with control stack, read papers online, debate, reflect, get stuck, and try again directly on the hardware. All we did is to give Codex an API to the world of atoms, and the rest is emergence.

ENPIRE is able to solve high-precision tasks like tying zip-ties, organizing fine pins, and installing GPUs all by itself. We also discovered a new type of "physical scaling": 8 robots exploring in parallel improves significantly faster than fewer ones.

A part of our NVIDIA GEAR lab now self-improves tirelessly over night. We just read the reports in the morning.

/goal: we all take a holiday and Jensen wouldn't even notice ;)

We will be open-sourcing everything, so you can host your self-running robot lab at home too! Deep dive in the thread:

@infoxiao San Jose is apparently farther?

[Alan (Jialiang) Zhao @alanz_jl]

Like the design but… they use “N/m” as the unit for torque and the images look a lot like AI generated

I second this

[gabriel @gabriel1]

aditya is one of the most smart and pleasant people you could work with

if you care deeply about physical agi and it's incredible implications for humanity he is a great bet and you should reach out. and his team is incredible

[Alan (Jialiang) Zhao @alanz_jl]

Come build with us and push the new frontier!

OpenAI Robotics is hiring, looking for exceptional full-stack hardware, ops, systems, and ML engineers to help us program and manufacture robots that are useful for society.

AI should be able to help people in the physical world. In the short term, we are focused on robots to support skilled workers to build our future infrastructure; in the long term, we imagine everyone having a personal robot doing anything they need.

Our world simulation research program, led by Aditya Ramesh (@model_mechanic), has evolved over the past year into OpenAI Robotics. Progress is rapid, and based on a foundation of co-design between robotics hardware and ML research.

If you love working hands-on across the robotics stack and want to build the future, please consider joining us. Send an email with your background and evidence of exceptional accomplishment to: [email protected]

@dwarkesh_sp @ericjang11 Hmm interesting but your summary misses an important premise @ericjang11 mentioned in the video “in small data regime”

[Alan (Jialiang) Zhao @alanz_jl]

@jxnlco Yes! Also KiCad and Eagle PCB

This morning on a whim I asked codex to create a real time/location sky atlas for me and deploy on a raspberry pi. Codex basically zero shotted it while I was at work (at OpenAI:). How did it verify progress? I pointed my IP camera on my Pi’s little screen and gave codex its ip😂
