Hosting a private Diwali evening with A.R. Rahman in SF.
- Only 50 people in the room. Curated group of founders, investors and artists.
- I'll be moderating a panel discussion with ARR and @krandiash (founder, @cartesia) on 'future of creativity in the AI age'
- A surprise release by Rahman and @rajavignesh (cofounders of Secret Mountain)
Diwali can't get bigger than this! Super excited.

🌟 Excited to share that our paper, RoboReason, has been accepted to EMNLP 2026!
🤖 We study how well Vision-Language Models (VLMs) perform on spatiotemporal ordering tasks that use real-world robotics images.
Our key findings: 🔹 Large VLMs often underperform previously reported results when evaluated on spatiotemporal ordering tasks using real-world robotics images. 🔹 Overlaying specialized computer vision model outputs and increasing reasoning effort generally help improve large VLM performance. 🔹 Finetuning smaller models using GRPO and SFT on examples generated by specialized computer vision models often helps them achieve comparable results to much larger VLMs.
📍 Presenting with @sagnikanupam at @emnlpmeeting in Budapest 🇭🇺 tomorrow!
