Physical Intelligence (Physical Intelligence) is building a foundation model that can control any robot to do any task — what the team describes as the GPT moment for robotics. The company's cross-embodiment approach trains across many different robot platforms, and recent results show tasks being performed zero-shot that last year required hundreds of hours of data collection. In this episode of the Lightcone Podcast , co-founder Quan Vuong (Quan Vuong) sat down with Garry Tan, Jared Friedman, Diana, and Harj Taggar to talk about why robotics is finally ready for its scaling moment, how PI runs its models in the cloud rather than on-device, and the playbook for what Quan sees as a Cambrian explosion of vertical robotics companies. 00:00 — Robotics just got cheaper 00:41 — The GPT moment for robotics 02:24 — Why robots didn’t work before 05:30 — The breakthrough that changed everything 09:12 — The data problem 13:33 — Robots learning without data 15:05 — Robots folding laundry (for real) 22:18 — From engineering problem → ops problem 29:12 — The startup playbook 38:46 — Thousands of robotics startups are coming

Is it really worth it joining a robotics hackathon? One year ago, thousands of people around the world spent a single weekend building AI robots using the open-source LeRobot stack. Many had never built a robot before. We sat down with the winners to ask what they made and where they are now. For many of them, that weekend changed everything, turning the intimidating field of AI robotics into an accessible hobby or even a full-time career. Here are a few key takeaways from their year-long journey: - You don't need a PhD to start. For many participants, this was their very first robot - One weekend can launch a career. Winning secured internships and full-time jobs - Community lowers the barrier to entry - Learning by doing is exponentially faster. Robotics still requires getting your hands dirty to truly progress Watch the full video to see their projects and hear their advice for taking the first step. clem 🤗, Thomas Wolf

Here we see Gaga, full of energy and passion, conducting a soundcheck in a nightclub 17 years ago for her upcoming performance. This moment is a powerful testament to why she remains one of the most successful female artists in the history of entertainment. Her relentless dedication and commitment to music are truly admirable. In a single night, she often had three to four performances, tirelessly presenting herself to the audience and bringing her art to life. Additionally, she was the opening act for the legendary "New Kids on the Block," which meant that after the shows, she continued to perform in other clubs to build her fame and cultivate a loyal fan base. Each performance was an opportunity for her to express her passion and creativity, and this incredible woman has more than earned her success! Her journey serves as an inspiring example for anyone who believes in their dreams and is willing to work hard for them! ❤️

JUST IN: microagi is opening its Global Robotics Research HQ on Bahnhofstrasse in Zürich, and choosing it over San Francisco. Eight months ago microagi was five people in a Munich hacker house. Today they operate in 15+ countries. The reasoning behind Zürich is compelling: → Highest density of robotics talent in the world, ETH Zürich, EPFL, University of Zürich, IBM Research, Google, NVIDIA, Meta, Apple and Microsoft all run serious ML and robotics teams here → ABB, one of the most important industrial automation companies on earth, is headquartered in the city itself → Within a 6-hour radius: German automotive, Italian manufacturing, French aerospace, Benelux logistics and Swiss machine tools But the line that stuck with me most: "Europe was late to consumer internet. Europe was late to cloud. Europe was late to the foundation-model wave. But Europe is not late to robotics." That is exactly right. The industrial base that physical AI sits on top of has been in Europe for 150 years. Precision mechanics. Machine-tool culture. Safety-critical engineering. Automation-grade manufacturing. The next decade of AI value will be created where bits meet atoms. And Europe is finally in the right position at the right moment. microagi gets it. And they're planting their flag right in the heart of it. 🇨🇭🇪🇺 Bercan, Yoan Iliev, Zeno, Gianni Hodel LFG! 🔥 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

The reasoning behind Zürich is compelling: → Highest density of robotics talent in the world, ETH Zürich, EPFL, University of Zürich, IBM Research, Google, NVIDIA, Meta, Apple and Microsoft all run serious ML and robotics teams here → ABB, one of the most important industrial automation companies on earth, is headquartered in the city itself → Within a 6-hour radius: German automotive, Italian manufacturing, French aerospace, Benelux logistics and Swiss machine tools But the line that stuck with me most: "Europe was late to consumer internet. Europe was late to cloud. Europe was late to the foundation-model wave. But Europe is not late to robotics." That is exactly right. The industrial base that physical AI sits on top of has been in Europe for 150 years. Precision mechanics. Machine-tool culture. Safety-critical engineering. Automation-grade manufacturing. The next decade of AI value will be created where bits meet atoms. And Europe is finally in the right position at the right moment. microagi gets it. And they're planting their flag right in the heart of it. 🇨🇭🇪🇺 Bercan, Yoan Iliev, Zeno, Gianni Hodel LFG! 🔥 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

This week on Founder2Founder, Aaron sits down with Mena Maimone: Founder of Maimone Legal, the immigration firm she built with her mom after moving her own family from Ontario to South Florida nine years ago. Mena lived the process before she practiced it. That's where it started. The complication is that most firms treat immigration like paperwork. Mena treats it like what it actually is for the families going through it. In this episode, they unpack: Going through the immigration process with her own family and turning that into the foundation of the firm Building Maimone Legal from two people to a team of 20+ serving clients worldwide How content and international expos across Canada became the firm's core growth channel If you're a founder building a services business where empathy isn't marketing, this is what it looks like in practice. Live now wherever you get your podcasts.

Took me 2 years to land this one... 🎙️ In this episode, I talk with ⁠Necromancer, Co-Founder and CEO of ⁠Clone⁠: The company is building lifelike, musculoskeletal androids that move like humans and could become the next personal computing platform. Dhanush shares how watching Iron Man at 13 sparked a lifelong obsession with tech, leading him from plasma thrusters and nuclear fusion research to founding a YC-backed robotics company now making headlines with their human-like androids. We talk about why his first startup didn’t work out (and why Plan A to do B never does), how he met his co-founder on the internet, and why moving to Poland turned out to be one of the best decisions for focus and execution. Clone is going against the grain: from hydraulics to neural net control, from soft-body design to building general-purpose robots from scratch. This convo is packed with vision, hard-earned insights, and a founder who’s not afraid to do things differently. Give it a listen. You’ll see why people are paying attention. @builddeeptech #67 "Doing Plan A to Do B Doesn’t Work" With Dhanush Radhakrishnan⁠ 🎥 YouTube: 🎧 Spotify: 🎧 Apple:

On Bloomberg last night, I was asked why Amazon drives more than a third of U.S. e-commerce. It is not because of their storefront. It is not because of their payments. It is not even because of product selection. It is because consumers trust their deliveries. That trust is built on physical infrastructure at scale with intelligence layered on top. And that is what Stord is building for every independent merchant. The most defensible companies in the world combine software intelligence with physical execution. Today, 9 of the 10 largest U.S. companies by revenue operate physical networks at scale. Software alone cannot replicate the outcomes created when you control the movement of physical atoms. That is the physical intelligence layer for commerce. And that is what Stord Labs is built to advance. Deploying AI and robotics against real operational complexity, in the real world, across a vertically integrated network operating at scale. Bloomberg TV

My conversation with Sergey Levine (Sergey Levine). Sergey is the co-founder of Physical Intelligence -- a company building foundation models that can control any robot to do any task in any environment. The company's thesis is that generality is more scalable than specialization, meaning that a model trained across many different robots and tasks will ultimately outperform any system built to do one thing well (eg, just wash dishes). Sergey is a researcher by background, but I think you will appreciate how practical and commercially grounded this conversation is. We discuss: - Why changing a diaper will be the last task a robot masters - The simulation v. real-world data debate - How multimodal LLMs give robots common sense - Moravec's Paradox + Robot Olympics - Why robots can do long-horizon tasks now - A realistic timeline for robots in our homes I should note that I am an investor in Physical Intelligence -- I made the investment because I believe it is one of the most important companies tackling the problem of robotics. Enjoy!
