@Charles_Y_Wu What's the use case? Any practical examples of this model?

[Narendiran Chembu @cgnarendiran]

⬇️ The real street, upside down: Alpamayo slows for "the narrow pass under the overhead clearance bar."

[Narendiran Chembu @cgnarendiran]

This is exactly why you cannot trust the explanations from end-to-end models (VLAs).

🍓 A bowl of strawberry ice cream: Alpamayo yields to "a person standing in front blocking the way." XD

🏃‍➡️ A person pasted into our lane, 12 m ahead: both models say they see the person, and both plan a path straight through them.

[Narendiran Chembu @cgnarendiran]

◼️ A black screen: "Keep lane since the lane is clear ahead."

📜 A page about beekeeping: Qwen-Drive steers around "the beehive on the right." Alpamayo keeps its distance from a lead vehicle that isn't there.

[Narendiran Chembu @cgnarendiran]

😸 A kitten: Qwen-Drive stops for "the stationary cat directly ahead in the path."

@SanjaySuriya6 was a physics student who wanted to get into ML.
He went through every professor at IISc working on deep learning and wrote to all of them.
@Arjunjain was one. The video tells you how that went.

He's now a partner at FastCode AI, a research scientist who also runs our forward-deployed engineering, the team that stays with a client until the model works in production.

He's in San Francisco with Naren and @siddesh_239.

It's the same cold email, just on camera.

P.S. - Sent from the FastCode AI account or he'd have undersold himself.

@Fried_rice Just looked through the codebase. Visual summary of the Claude-Code harness loop:
