@i_ikhatri what do you mean? we've already reorged perception into the alpamayo encoder division, planning into the alpamayo decoder division. sim is alpasim. what else is there?
at CVPR in Denver ✈️ If you're interested in (or working on) foundation models for robotics, reasoning VLAs, or adding novel sensors to VLAs, DM me.

My time at Ai2 / @allen_ai has come to an end.
Ai2 is a wonderful place. The last 2.5+ years building Olmo, Tulu, and other projects will be one of the peaks of my entire career. I'm extremely thankful for my teammates and the open community who made this work possible.
For me, it's time to try something different. I will still be working in the open model & open science spaces (more news on that soon). In the meantime I'll be spending a few months learning, chatting with a broader network, getting married (!!) and most importantly recharging from pouring my soul into this place.
I've attached the note I shared with the team and some fun photos from our time together. I'll keep cheering for Ai2 and am excited to see what you build next.
🎇Thrilled to release VLM^3! Most 3D vision papers nowadays still spend months/years designing complex archs/losses/augmentations for different tasks. Are they necessary? VLM^3 shows that most designs that you think are important for 3D vision are [not] important at all!
