San Mateo, California–based Generalist showcases their real-time, end-to-end neural network that controls robots at 100Hz for dexterous manipulation tasks. The model handles fine-motor control, bi-manual coordination, tool use, and generalization across arms and environments.
Excited to be out of stealth! Since graduating from MIT, I’ve been building something incredibly FUN. Every day at work is full of laughter and “wows.” Super proud of the fantastic team making it all happen. Let’s go 🚀

I’m excited to announce @GeneralistAI_ We believe the path to general-purpose robots starts with precise, fast, and resilient manipulation. What you see here are end-to-end AI models, trained from scratch, doing some very hard tasks. This is pixels in, actions out. While I’m…

Nothing will stop @GeneralistAI_ robots from working!
Check out our robots! 🤖

We've been heads-down building. The robots have gotten pretty good. We'll be sharing a brief update soon.
I'm leaving @OpenAI after 3½ yrs. I'll be joining my good friend Andy Barry (Boston Dynamics) + @peteflorence & @andyzeng_ (DeepMind 🤖) on a brand new initiative! I think this will be necessary to fully realize AGI in the world and am excited to share more about it soon
I'll be at @iclr_conf next week! Happy to chat about generative models, compositional models, robot learning and embodied agents. I'll be presenting VLP (video-language-planning.github.io) showing how we can generate long-horizon video plans by combining VLMs + videos + search.

We've been working on ALOHA 2 for several months to scale up the ALOHA platform and create a robot fleet to collect dexterous manipulation data. The new hardware is more robust, user-friendly, and enables a much wider range of tasks. Check out Tony's thread for details!

🤙 Hardware improvements make life much better in unexpected ways. Example: I used to think there was a software bug causing gripper latency… nope, just static friction in the original grippers!! + new sim 💯 👏 team for @tonyzzhao’s Google DeepMind internship!

Always such a joy seeing new Atlas videos :) Looks like a hard task, especially with the contact mode switching into/from sliding, and the constraints involved, on both grabbing and stowing. Also looks like a heavy widget. Interesting new fingers too!

In your head, when you *plan* into the future - how much planning do you do in "language" in your head? - if not using language, do you visualize? If you visualize, is it photoreal from an ego view, or something else? - is there a 3rd, not language or visualizing, way you plan?
Introduction by way of a massively oversimplified Haiku -- VLM problem: Suck at 3D reasoning Generate data :) Actually getting this done, at scale, comes with a very creative pipeline, and lots of analysis. Awesome work lead by @BoyuanChen0 and amazing hosting by @xf1280 !
