@divgarg is building a personal AI that runs on your own phone, where you own the model and the data.
In this episode of ODDS, we went inside @the_agi_company in San Francisco, from a new hire's first day on production code to an agent ordering Chipotle on DoorDash hands-free, and hear why Div turned down a million-dollar offer from OpenAI, why frontier labs won't ship AI that runs on your device, and why the team hires slow and fires fast.

They raised $47M by bringing top 1% surgeon skills to doctors everywhere.
Deep vertical expertise, but easy to understand, because our team made the video.
@eo_build@spiralstudio_eo
Surgery is among humanity’s most valuable skills. Yet we don’t quite know how to teach it, transfer it, let alone scale it. That leaves too many patients without access to life-altering or life-saving procedures when and where they need them.
@ilepirox and @alimackanic started Mosaic Intelligence Labs to face surgery’s inherent challenge: scalability. Today we announce our vision, backed with $47M to start building.
This is the beginning of a great journey! Come join us. We’re hiring in SF: https://t.co/65Y553eOfj
walked the sponsor booths at #CoRL2026 and every hot robotics company is literally here
> @DynaRobotics unboxed Taku and it's doing long-horizon mobile manipulation zero-shot. no on-site data collection, no post-training
> @NVIDIARobotics just dropped GR00T 2, an open world action model for humanoids
> @UnitreeRobotics with quadrupeds, humanoids, arms and dexterous hands
> @holidayrobots brought FRIDAY, their wheeled industrial humanoid built from the hands up
> @SharpaRobotics running live dexterous hand demos all week
what's the most impressive demo you've seen so far?
Day 1 morning at #CoRL2026@corl_conf 🤠
Honest take: a lot of the papers feel like they're outdated. Papers are good, but this industry is changing so fast. Has anyone seen papers on agentic robot systems?
Heading somewhere this afternoon that only shows the latest papers. Will report back.
Stanford had no course on Transformers, so @divgarg and two friends pitched one to the dean.
Then he emailed the best person he could invite: Geoffrey Hinton.
"Anyone can email him."
Hinton replied in ten minutes.
Who's one person you'd cold email if you knew they'd reply?

Will robots replace human?
@evanbeard says robots will create more high-paying jobs in America, not fewer.
"Manufacturing is the heart of our middle class here in the United States."
"Robots are the way we earn the right to create high-paying jobs and to build things here in the United States."
Today, we’re launching Clone.
An agent harness that predicts your next prompt.
- Clone Mode keeps prompting your AI agents and never stops till done
- 93.9% prompt prediction accuracy, outperforming Astra and Opus
- You can use your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription
Want to push agent-maxxing to the limit?

Who's in Austin for #CoRL2026?
I’m a producer making a contents for startup founders.
> 1.5M+ subscribers globally
> featured @1x_tech and @Rewkang before
> collaborating with @IndustrialNxtAI and @RLWRLD_ai as a media partner
if you know amazing founders or researchers, you should let me know!
It's insane! #CoRL2026 ✈️
There are no tickets left from SFO to Austin and the prices were ridiculous. We’re flying out of San Jose instead. it’s even at 6am.
Did you all get your flights locked in? How much did yours run you?
Build day energy hits different🔥🔥
Spent the afternoon at #GrokBotBuildDaySF watching builders go from idea to working bot in hours, not months.
One team built an agent that sets up dinner with people you should meet. Another turned a pile of school emails into a parenting to-do list. And yes, someone built an agent that texts your partner back for you (until it hears "we need to talk").
Students, parents, founders, all in one room.
If builders are getting together somewhere, invite us. We'll bring cameras. 🎥 Build Anyway!
