Playing charades with the Tesla Optimus robot last night. This is either the single greatest robotics and LLM demo the world has ever seen, or it's MOSTLY remote operated by a human. No in between.

Humanoids need a single, generalist control policy for all of their physical tasks, not a new one for every new chore or demo. A policy for walking can't dance. A policy for dancing can't support mowing the lawn. We need to scale up humanoid control for diverse behaviors, just like we did with language and video models. Watch this humanoid, supported by a single control policy, to start its day, mow the lawn, jog, dance, and even hold the elevator for a colleague. This is the "System 1" for humanoids—a robust, natural humanoid controller that will support general-purpose autonomy. Project Page: #Robotics #AI #NVIDIA #SONIC #FoundationModel 🤖🔥

VLA-JEPA just dropped in LeRobot 🤖 What makes this model special is that it does not just learn what action to take from a given observation, it also leverages a JEPA world model to learn action-relevant dynamics. During training, the VLA leverages V-JEPA2 by conditioning its predictor. This clever trick adds a world modeling objective to the training, which also allows pretraining on human videos. At inference, the world model is dropped entirely, keeping only a standard VLA architecture: Qwen backbone and action head. The demo here was only fine-tuned on 13 examples, showing great pretraining capability and running in real time on NVIDIA Robotics DGX Spark! VLA-JEPA is the first world model to be ported to LeRobot, and I feel like it won't be the last 🚀 Thomas Wolf clem 🤗

These aquatic robots are more advanced than they look!🐬 Early versions developed by Walt Disney Imagineering started as simple underwater drones, essentially radio-controlled machines, using jet pumps for propulsion and servo motors for control. Functional, but clearly nothing new. Then came the biomimetic stuff. Larger prototypes began mimicking dolphins, using fins instead of propellers to create smooth, organic motion. Servos control vertical and lateral movement, making them move much closer to real animals than traditional underwater drones. The latest invention is autonomous hydrofoils. These platforms use GPS, ultrasonic sensors, and self-balancing control to follow precise trajectories on water, enabling synchronized, repeatable motion for large-scale shows. That's so cool! 😎 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

AI + robotics research is starting to pick up steam. We can now instruct Spot using natural language using Language-guided Skill Coordination (LSC). A user provides a natural language instruction: "Bring me the chocolates box, cereal box, and pill bottle, and put them on the bedroom table" and the robot navigates to the location of the target objects and places them on the room table. Current versions of Spot rely on a fixed-set vocabulary that cannot generalize to diverse instructions. In this demo, the researchers presented a method that uses large language models to receive a free-form natural language instruction for object rearrangement, which it then executes. It combines: -A voice-to-text model that processes the instructions into text -An LLM that converts natural language instruction to call a library of skills -A perception module that provides ground truth locations and visual object detection And what your left with is a glimpse into what our future will hold: robots executing tasks from human voice prompts.

An exciting new course: Fine-tuning and Reinforcement Learning for LLMs: Intro to Post-training, taught by Sharon Zhou, VP of AI at AMD. Available now at Post-training is the key technique used by frontier labs to turn a base LLM--a model trained on massive unlabeled text to predict the next word/token--into a helpful, reliable assistant that can follow instructions. I've also seen many applications where post-training is what turns a demo application that works only 80% of the time into a reliable system that consistently performs. This course will teach you the most important post-training techniques! In this 5 module course, Sharon walks you through the complete post-training pipeline: supervised fine-tuning, reward modeling, RLHF, and techniques like PPO and GRPO. You'll also learn to use LoRA for efficient training, and to design evals that catch problems before and after deployment. Skills you'll gain: - Apply supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning (RLHF, PPO, GRPO) to align models to desired behaviors - Use LoRA for efficient fine-tuning without retraining entire models - Prepare datasets and generate synthetic data for post-training - Understand how to operate LLM production pipelines, with go/no-go decision points and feedback loops These advanced methods aren’t limited to frontier AI labs anymore, and you can now use them in your own applications.

New short course: Attention in Transformers: Concepts and Code in PyTorch. Last week we released a course on how LLM transformers work. This week, go deeper and learn about the technical ideas behind the attention mechanism, and see how to code it in PyTorch. This course is built with Joshua Starmer, Founder and CEO of StatQuest. The attention mechanism was a breakthrough that led to transformers, the architecture powering large language models like ChatGPT. Transformers, introduced in the 2017 paper: "Attention is All You Need" by Viswani and others, took off because of its highly scalable design. In this course, you’ll learn how the attention mechanism, a key element of transformer-based LLMs, works and implement it in PyTorch. You'll develop deep intuition about building reliable, functional, and scalable AI applications. What you will do: - Understand the evolution of the attention mechanism, a key breakthrough that led to transformers. - Learn the relationships between word embeddings, positional embeddings, and attention. - Learn about the Query, Key, and Value matrices, and how to produce and use them in attention. - Walk through the math required to calculate self-attention and masked self-attention to learn why and how they work. - Understand the difference between self-attention and masked self-attention and how one is used in the encoder to build context-aware embeddings and the other is used in the decoder for generative outputs. - Learn the details of the encoder-decoder architecture, cross-attention, and multi-head attention and how they are all incorporated into a transformer. - Use PyTorch to code a class that implements self-attention, masked self-attention, and multi-head attention. There're lots of exciting technical details in this course. Please sign up here:

Sharing a super simple, user-owned memory module we've been playing around: nanomem The basic idea is to treat memory as a pure intelligence problem: ingestion, structuring, and (selective) retrieval are all just LLM calls & agent loops on a on-device markdown file tree. Each file lists a set of facts w/ metadata (timestamp, confidence, source, etc.); no embeddings/RAG/training of any kind. For example: - `nanomem add ` starts an agent loop to walk the tree, read relevant files, and edit. - `nanomem retrieve ` walks the tree and returns a single summary string (possibly assembled from many subtrees) related to the query. What’s nice about this approach is that the memory system is, by construction: 1. partitionable (human/agents can easily separate `hobbies/snowboard.md` from `tax/residency.md` for data minimization + relevance) 2. portable and user-owned (it’s just text files) 3. interpretable (you know exactly what’s written and you can manually edit) 4. forward-compatible (future models can read memory files just the same, and memory quality/speed improves as models get better) 5. modularized (you can optimize ingestion/retrieval/compaction prompts separately) Privacy & utility. I'm most excited about the ability to partition + selectively disclose memory at inference-time. Selective disclosure helps with both privacy (principle of least privilege & “need-to-know”) and utility (as too much context for a query can harm answer quality). Composability. An inference-time memory module means: (1) you can run such a module with confidential inference (LLMs on TEEs) for provable privacy, and (2) you can selectively disclose context over unlinkable inference of remote models (demo below). We built nanomem as part of the Open Anonymity project ( but it’s meant to be a standalone module for humans and agents (e.g., you can write a SKILL for using the CLI tool). Still polishing the rough edges! - GitHub (MIT): - Blog: - Beta implementation in chat client soon: Work done with amazing project co-leads Amelia Kuang Coco Xu Erik Chi !!

New short course: Vibe Coding 101 with Replit! Learn to build and host applications with an AI agent in this course, built in partnership with Replit ⠕ and taught by its President Michele Catasta and Head of Developer Relations . Coding agents are changing how we write code. "Vibe coding" refers to a growing practice where you might barely look at the generated code, and instead focus on the architecture and features of your application. However, contrary to popular belief, effectively coding this way isn't done by just prompting, accepting all recommendations, and hoping for the best. It requires structuring your work, refining your prompts, and having a systematic process that lead to a more efficient and effective workflow. I code frequently using LLMs, and asking an LLM to do everything in one shot usually does not work. I'll typically take a problem, partition it into manageable modules, spend time creating prompts to specify each module, and use the model to produce the code one module at a time, and test/debug each module before moving on. A process like this is making me and many other developers faster and more efficient. In this video-only course, you’ll learn how to use Replit’s cloud environment--with an integrated code editor, package manager, and deployment tools--to build and deploy web applications. Along the way, you’ll learn strategies for working effectively with agents and improve your development skills. In detail, you’ll: - Understand principles of agentic code development such as being precise, giving agents one task at a time, making prompts specific, keeping projects tidy, starting with fresh sessions for each new feature, and how to approach debugging. - Learn how to get started with Replit, and key skills for vibe coding: Thinking, using frameworks, checkpoints, debugging, and providing context. - Create a product requirement document (PRD) and wireframe for your agent to build a prototype of a website performance analyzer. - See how to use an agent to make your prototype more visually appealing, and deploy it application others to access . - Learn to build a head-to-head national park ranking app, from a sample dataset, with voting capabilities and persistent data storage, and refine further ask the assistant to recap and explain what it built to find room for improvement and reinforce your learning. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid foundation in building with coding agents, and a process you can use to keep vibe coding effectively. Please sign up here:

AI models boost robots’ responsiveness Seamless integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into the humanoid robots can help them process and interpret complex data from human interactions, enabling the robot to learn and adapt in real-time, achieving human-level understanding and responsiveness. AheadForm uses Brushless Motors that deliver ultra-quiet operation and high responsiveness, specifically designed for precision facial movements in humanoid robots. With its compact size, lightweight design, and energy efficiency, this motor is the ideal choice for next-generation robots that require precise, subtle facial control to create a truly human-like experience. Previously, the company unveiled the Lan Series that features realistic humanoid robots with soft skin and 10 degrees of freedom, offering a lifelike appearance and intuitive movements. This series is designed for cost-efficiency, for applications prioritizing mobility and manipulation.

🚨Meet IRON: China’s Humanoid Robot. So Real People Thought It Was Human 🇨🇳🔥 Meet IRON, XPeng’s next-gen humanoid, unveiled at AI Day in Guangzhou. So lifelike that people swore it was a person in a suit. It wasn’t. That illusion? Brilliant marketing. It forced the world to pay attention. Here’s what makes IRON a game-changer 👇 • 82 degrees of freedom, synthetic muscle system and bionic skin so realistic it moves like flesh. • Runs on XPeng’s in-house AI chips with over 2,000 TOPS computing power. • Solid-state battery, self-balancing gait and a neural control system modelled on the human spine. • Aiming for mass production in 2026, not a fantasy, a roadmap. While others like Tesla’s Optimus still struggle to pick up a box, China’s IRON walks, gestures and interacts naturally, powered by real-time embodied AI. Western media called it “too real,” “creepy,” even “fake.” But in reality, it’s China’s physical AI frontier, bridging robotics, neural networks and mobility tech in a way the West hasn’t caught up to yet. China is not just in the AI race anymore. It’s building the finish line. 🏁🇨🇳

Our first short course with Anthropic! Building Towards Computer Use with Anthropic. This teaches you to build an LLM-based agent that uses a computer interface by generating mouse clicks and keystrokes. Computer Use is an important, emerging capability for LLMs that will let AI agents do many more tasks than were possible before, since it lets them interact with interfaces designed for humans to use, rather than only tools that provide explicit API access. I hope you will enjoy learning about it! This course is taught by Anthropic's Head of Curriculum, Colt_Steele. You'll learn to apply image reasoning and tool use to "use" a computer as follows: a model processes an image of the screen, analyzes it to understand what's going on, and navigates the computer via mouse clicks and keystrokes. This course goes through the key building blocks, and culminates in a demo of an AI assistant that uses a web browser to search for a research paper, downloads the PDF, and finally summarizes the paper for you. In detail, you’ll: - Learn about Anthropic's family of models, when to use which one, and make API requests to Claude - Use multi-modal prompts that combine text and image content blocks, and also work with streaming responses - Improve your prompting by using prompt templates, using XML to structure prompts, and providing examples - Implement prompt caching to reduce cost and latency - Apply tool-use to build a chatbot that can call different tools to respond to queries - See all these building blocks come together in Computer Use demo Please sign up here:
