When maximally ambitious builders meet a moving frontier, just 18 months is all it takes.
To change everything.
Coming soon.

I had a fun conversation with @adityaag at SPC a few weeks ago.
“The universe is really big, and almost none of it is inside computers.”
When a problem is hard, make it bigger. @svlevine put a room full of robots in a repurposed Google conference room and had them grasp objects all day.
It worked. Then it hit a wall: lots of experience, no prior knowledge.
That wall became @physical_int.
This conversation at @spc was awesome. I learned a lot!

With open models, we can build safety tooling directly into the inference layer.
Our CEO and co-founder @tuhinone sat down with @kr00ney at @cnbc to discuss Project Beacon, and our work with @GoodfireAI to make safety the default for open intelligence.
SPC alum @ScottWu46 has always been a math savant.
Here's his take on the moneyball-ization of startups:

Some of the biggest advances in AI have come from solving many problems together, rather than training specialized systems for individual tasks.
@svlevine (@physical_int) talks about the same principle for robotics. Make the problem bigger.

Robotics is going through the same shift LLMs did: from fine-tuning, to prompting, to just telling the model what you want.
@svlevine talked about how π0.7 learns new skills from plain-language coaching.

A PhD from a top university doesn't necessarily make someone a great robotics researcher.

We’re betting our $5.5M seed round that the next leap in AI coding won’t come from OpenAI or Anthropic.
It’ll come from a new feedback loop that learns from you.
Introducing Beacon: open-source, self-improving memory for coding agents.
Your sessions capture how you debug and solve problems. Today, that context gets lost and you have to re-explain things every time you switch tools.
Beacon continuously distills your sessions into reusable skills across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 20+ harnesses, so your next agent can learn from the last.
Beacon is free and OSS 🌟 github.com/Asymptote-Labs/ag…
Why should the frontier labs be the only ones winning with your sessions?
You already did the work. Now let your coding agents learn from you.
