Today we’re launching @vorelios (YC F26)!

We’re a research lab building AI that can engineer anything. Models that predict a design’s behavior in seconds and use those predictions to invent and improve designs autonomously. 🧵

BREAKING: the EU says there is currently "no evidence of Chinese spies targeting Europe’s AI sector".

Officials say this is largely because European AI industry does not exist.

"the bitter lesson comes for robotics" and it's literally a hand-designed architecture with its every component and hyperparameter painstakingly ablated against human-specified performance metrics that is then initialized by standing on the shoulders of humans as it consumes digitized civilizational knowledge of immense scale before it gets slow-cooked during an extended phase of further distilling human knowledge from pristine resources only to then be relentlessly beaten against the well-tuned reward functions of a million partly crowd-sourced and partly prompted-into-existence environments that humans decided were worth hillclimbing in the current quarterly iteration of the human-orchestrated cycle of intelligence creation

@henrijsdan @polemos_inc amazing work man

[Kush Agarwal @KushHansAgarwal]

This will be incredibly huge

[Satyam @KlausCodes]

bullish on this team!

[Krish Kapadia @krish_k07]

so excited to share what we've been working on!

[Ram Vinjamuri @RamV2003]

check this out, their mission is to solve all of engineering. some real star trek ts

We want to turn humanity’s hardest moonshots into tractable engineering problems. If years of engineering can happen in a fraction of the time, projects that are too complex or expensive today become practical to pursue.

Research focuses on three problems:

Generating physics data at a scale and breadth that has never existed
Architectures that make reliable predictions on completely new designs
One model that handles interacting physics instead of separate tools for each

@simantic amazing video congrats

[Daniel McNeil @danielmcneil_]

@alymoursy on god im reporting you

[Daniel McNeil @danielmcneil_]

@KlausCodes thats the scariest costume of them all

[Daniel McNeil @danielmcneil_]

@juliver @dydema finally i can prompt claude with my mind

[Aaron Epstein @aaron_epstein]

Many of the best ideas come from Making Something You Want

@KushHansAgarwal @aaron_epstein @ycombinator goated team

[Daniel McNeil @danielmcneil_]

@alymoursy product so good it broke the duo
