[Chris Yoo @pentestduck]

Today we're incredibly excited to announce @DreamscaleLabs (YC F26)! We're an applied research company putting robot brains in the cloud.

Robot AI models are growing larger and on-board compute is getting increasingly inaccessible due to cost. We're taking a contrarian bet that the future is moving inference off the robot and into the cloud, while still meeting real-time deadlines required by robot motion.

We're building the real-time inference infrastructure that enables frontier physical AI models to run smoothly on your robot. We optimize for low latency across the full stack: from the model, down to the GPU kernels, and over the network.

Our mission is to unlock a future of safe and intelligent robots doing meaningful work, and we think this is only possible by letting you deploy and run robot models in the cloud.

Reach out to us at [email protected] or visit our website at https://t.co/AFAJApNM2H to learn more.

@StartupArchive_ beyond the 'sound symbolism' of the name (eg PayPal sounding 'friendly', or 'Airbnb' sounding 'innocent'), the point missing from this is that great names occupy a space in shared language.

don't have money? i'll 'paypal' you, don't have somewhere to stay? you can 'airbnb' it

@davidchalmers42 Australian thinkers are consistently exceptional

[lauren @poteto]

everyone spent ten years learning to code and it turns out the terminal skill was english composition. the machine will do anything you tell it. the only thing left between you and what you want is whether you can form a clear thought and put it into words

@finn_hulse Yes to reference checks but no to entirely deferring your judgment as an investor to a random

@jaiyagill ‘Technical’ vs ‘non-technical’ is a false dichotomy, technicality is a broad spectrum, best time to be a builder for anyone on that spectrum

@thaiscbranco_ @CRV @AmplifyPartners The mission of ending AI slop is not likely to be solved by a new AI layer. It is a circular solution, akin to saying crime is solved by getting more criminals to kill the existing criminals.
