Qasar Younis was COO of Y Combinator when Sam Altman was its president. Peter Ludwig was an early engineer on Android Automotive at Google. Both are Detroit guys with family roots at General Motors. In 2017, they started Applied Intuition to make a billion machines intelligent. Putting intelligence into a machine is one of the hardest problems in technology. A car, a tractor, and a mining vehicle each have different hardware, different sensors, and lives on the line if the software fails. So instead of building one machine, they built the technology that goes into all of them. Cars, trucks, defense vehicles, mining equipment, combines, robots. Like Nvidia sells chips into everyone else's machines, Applied Intuition sells intelligence. They are the only company in the world that does this across all of these industries. They have raised about a billion dollars. They have never spent any of it. Qasar believes that when we look back 25 years from now, the most important companies in the world will all be physical AI companies. Last week they launched Dana, an agent platform built to get there faster. Enjoy!

.Applied Intuition wants to make robotics as easy as building an iPhone app: "Dana is our new agentic platform for physical AI. This really is the culmination of pretty much everything we've worked on now over the last decade." "Building physical AI is extremely complicated... We know how to make the chips. We know how to make the hardware for these systems. It's more so actually developing all of this technology and getting it to work that is very, very difficult." "With modern AI and with this new Dana platform, we're really drastically reducing the barrier to entry to building physical AI and deploying it in the real world." "If you're building an app for an iPhone, high school kids can do that now because there's all of these things that exist and that make it easy... It's very hard to do that in terms of robotics." "The thing that Peter's really emphasizing and thing that we really wanna do is just lower the bar. So anybody really out there, starting with engineers, but ultimately really anybody can develop robots." Applied Intuition Co-founders Peter Ludwig and Qasar Younis on Business Breakdowns

.Applied Intuition CEO Qasar Younis says physical AI can't arrive fast enough: "By putting self-driving and intelligence on machines, we're really making some of the worst jobs on the planet honestly easier." "In the physical AI world, it's very, very different. The AI can't get there fast enough." "If you look at farming, the average American farmer is 58 years old. We have record shortages in long-haul trucking. Mining is 1% of the world's workforce, but accounts for 8% of work-related fatalities." "These are difficult jobs, and people are just choosing they don't wanna be away from family in unsafe circumstances." "The impact can be very, very quick and very, very significant in areas where there's a lot of demand." Qasar Younis on Business Breakdowns

Amjad Masad and Marc Andreessen on AI agents, AGI, Creativity, and Reasoning Agents are getting better, fast. Replit Agent v1 could do only 2 minutes of coherent work. v2 could do 20 minutes. Today’s v3? 200 minutes. As agents get more and more reliable, we can make huge progress in coding without ever achieving “true” AGI. In this episode, Marc Andreessen and Erik Torenberg sit down with Replit ⠕ co-founder and CEO Amjad Masad to discuss the upward trajectory of agents, how RL unlocked reasoning for modern models, why verification loops changed everything, and whether LLMs are hitting diminishing returns. 00:00 Intro 03:00 The vision behind Replit 07:00 Building apps with AI agents 09:30 When the agent becomes the programmer 13:45 Reinforcement learning and problem solving 17:30 The verification loop and multi-agent systems 26:00 Why coding is advancing faster than other Fields 33:45 AGI debate 41:15 Functional AGI and automating labor 53:10 Creativity, reasoning, and finding truth in AI 57:30 The origins of Replit 01:03:00 Hacking his university and getting caught Amjad Masad Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 Erik Torenberg

Applied Intuition CEO Qasar Younis on choosing between being a founder and a VC: “[Being a VC is] a cerebral job. And fundamentally what a VC does is you buy and sell stock.” “As a founder, you have to love product and you have to love team building.” “You have to figure out if you’re trying to make this decision, 'should I be a VC or should I be a founder?' Which one of those things resonates with you more?” Applied Intuition CEO Qasar Younis at Slush
