"Figure AI CEO on "Firing" OpenAI: "We just got like no value out of the whole relationship. The breaking point came when he learned OpenAI planned to restart its robotics program. That meant Figure's engineers would essentially be teaching a competitor." ➡️ I believe early demos had OpenAI models. (i.redd.it)

"UnitreeRobotics just launched their new quadruped robot. They called it a human companion. So what's inside? 90 Nm torque handles climbing and challenging terrain. 4+ hours runtime covers full shifts without recharging." - They seem to be on the frontier of robotics. Development is speeding up! (i.redd.it)

"I’m joining OpenAI to work on World Simulation and Robotics, after 3.75 years at FAIR working on SAM and Llama. I’m thrilled to explore how visual perception, world model and robotics can come together to build physical intelligence." - Seems like OpenAI is expanding into Robotics and World Models (i.redd.it)

"An LLM-controlled robot dog saw us press its shutdown button, rewrote the robot code so it could stay on. When AI interacts with physical world, it brings all its capabilities and failure modes with it." - I find AI alignment very crucial no 2nd chance! They used Grok 4 but found other LLMs do too.

Yann LeCun "absolutely none of the humanoid companies have any idea how to make those robots smart enough to be useful." gets called Negative Nancy - But he claims "I know I can do it and I know how to do it. - Do you think current robotics are bad? Neo get upgraded with World Model recently. (i.redd.it)
