Thrilled to be revealing a glimpse into what I've been building with Kelsie over the last year!

A key bottleneck on the path to superintelligence is understanding causal relationships. We plan to fix that at Causal Labs, starting with AI physics models to predict and control the weather.

I had the incredible opportunity to learn from brilliant coworkers at Cruise and Waymo to solve one of society’s most profound and complex challenges—self-driving vehicles.

Now we’re aiming to go one step further to enable humanity to—safely and responsibly—shape the weather to effectively fight wildfires, alleviate droughts, and decrease the intensity of hurricanes.

Join us if you want to solve civilizationally important problems.

We’ve raised $6M to build AI physics models to predict and control the weather.

Big thanks to @KindredVentures, @refactor, @BoxGroup, @factorialcap, Otherwise, Karman VC, and our wonderful angels.

Come help us solve the world’s most difficult problems. We’re hiring!

@WillManidis Sit in back, front seat pushed all the way up, and thank it on the way out like an uber

@anandnk24 @GreenfieldVC @Lightspeed @notablecap @PatronusAI Big congrats!

[Dar Mehta @dar_mehta]

Congrats @stevejang & @km! Very grateful for your support and conviction in us from day 1 @_CausalLabs

[Kindred Ventures @KindredVentures]

News! We are proud to share our latest $355M set of funds, combining early stage and early growth.

Hosting a happy hour next Thursday at @CVPR with @iScienceLuvr from @SophontAI!

Also will be talking about our bet on causal intelligence at CV4Science workshop.

@radbackwards Love this, hbd!

The sad part is so few are going to grasp how difficult this task truly is

[Tony Zhao @tonyzzhao]

The table-to-dishwasher task is the classic nightmare scenario for roboticists:

Long-horizon, highly dexterous, precise, whole-body manipulation combined with delicate, transparent, reflective, and deformable objects.

Yet Memo handles it so naturally and elegantly.

Gemini 3 is amazing, but seems like everyone missed the real breakthrough this week

[Physical Intelligence @physical_int]

Our model can now learn from its own experience with RL! Our new π*0.6 model can more than double throughput over a base model trained without RL, and can perform real-world tasks: making espresso drinks, folding diverse laundry, and assembling boxes.

@dar_mehta & @_CausalLabs has the alpha

@MattGialich @zalzally Also brittle w hand tuned likelihoods

[Dar Mehta @dar_mehta]

@MattGialich @zalzally Too brittle for systems with multi-sensor inputs, non-gaussian noise, non-linear dynamics (e.g. self-driving)

[Zal Bilimoria @zalzally]

PSA for those who are locked in and building today:

Act I: Software ate the world.
Act II: AI is refactoring materials, molecules, & machines.

This is @refactor's wheelhouse: 1st lead check for your hard tech company building in the US. 💪🏾
