We trained a robot to play football. How? Self-play for 140 years in a virtual World Cup. Meet the #Messinator:

And this is just the beginning. We haven’t even started scaling yet. One of the main reasons I moved to industry was that too many robotics demos and videos were being presented as breakthroughs. I was tired of racing to publish papers and post impressive videos. I wanted to make robots actually work—and deploy them in the real world. That’s why deployment has been a first-class citizen in Skild’s culture from day one. We’ve always believed that, ultimately, what matters is whether robots actually work in the real world. Today, we’ve reached our first major milestone on that journey: a $100M annual revenue run rate.
We just hit 100M ARR within 10 months of starting deployments. We are in factory lines. On construction sites. In kitchens. In data centers. Cleaning. Welding. Building. Cooking. Deploying.

We just hit 100M ARR, 10 months after our first deployment. One of the fastest growing physical companies in human history. Deeply grateful to our team and partners for making this achievement possible. We're just getting started.

We’re scaling S1 as fast as we can. The curve shows no signs of slowing down, steadily going up. We’ve been working for a while to find this kind of scaling law in robotics.
Scaling laws for in-context learning for robotics, perhaps the most exciting result in robotics

In-context learning for robotics is here. - Long-horizon tasks over 10 minutes long - Never seen during pre-training - Prompted with one video, no fine-tuning We are building intelligence from the foundations up, not from the top down.
Introducing S1, our new foundation model that learns from one example. It can be taught 10-minute long tasks that it has never seen before, from one video prompt without any fine-tuning. Watch S1 operate in real-time via in-context learning:

It’s been awe-inspiring to see the world catch up with this crazy idea called “information markets”. Yet there still remains a long ways to go For those curious about my headspace when starting the company, this thread is a nostalgic artifact.

Half day Thanksgiving brainstorm with the brilliant @shayne_coplan founder and CEO of @Polymarket at their offices. The truth finally has a business model. Going to call it: Shayne and Polymarket will be a decacorn within 24 months. 30 person team, global reach, impact and brand all helped by a super visionary founder. Shout out to my daughter @DPishevar for connecting us years ago.

The biggest mistake I see people make about friendships is that they will just happen. That’s like saying health will just happen. The more you dial up your intentionality as a friend, the more you will dial up the quality of every other part of your life.
"By far the biggest medical surprise of the past decade has been the extraordinary number of studies showing that the single best predictor of health and wellbeing is simply the number and quality of close friendships you have." penguin.co.uk/books/444270/t…

Way to go Shayne and Polymarket team 💪
The Bloomberg Terminal has now integrated Polymarket. Entering mainstream news and finance before our eyes. What once was a fringe, sci-fi idea for transforming the flow of information is now becoming the new normal, as 10s of millions of people build habit around relying on Polymarket forecasts as a source of truth, to make sense of what’s going on in the world. And it’s still early.
