Marwan—appreciate you dropping by @hypr. The team had a blast showing you HYPRACTIVE™.
And thank you to your Fractal Capital: having seen what we’re building up close and choosing to invest! 🦾🔥
Drove through San Francisco with @TimKentleyKlay, co-founder and CEO of @hypr, while his AI, HYPRACTIVE, navigated downtown on 33 watts powering an NVIDIA Orin chip that runs HYPR's proprietary models built by just four engineers in two years, for under a million dollars.
Tim is a Melbourne-born designer turned robotics CEO who co-founded Zoox, the first company to operate a purpose-built, fully autonomous robotaxi and scaled it to $3.2B. He envisioned the car becoming a character in 2011, and spent the next decade and a half making that real. 125+ patents, $800M raised, and now CEO of HYPRLABS Inc - a small team coding a clean AI architecture and launching a completely new robot this summer.
The whole industry is throwing tens of billions at problems HYPR is solving with a computer the size of your fist and a hot-glued camera.
RLAF > RLHF
If anyone is interested in a map of what just happened @moltbook and what comes next: review the training structure @GoogleDeepMind used for AlphaStar.
Conditional imitation learning on human datasets ≈ human Gold-level player.
Creating a league for self-play / an evolutionary system for fitness selection on variation = superhuman performance.
An LLM (Large Language Model) in an AI-only chat group with upvotes and ladders is the RLAF (Reinforcement Learning Agent Feedback) head that tunes models beyond their bootstrapped human imitation and its limitations.
The play was always there, for those paying attention.
Getting this agents on-chain with clawrank.com is the next best step.
Cheers @gbrulte for the chat–live drive to come.
Self-Driving on 33 Watts: How HYPR Labs Trained a Model for Just $850
@TimKentleyKlay, CEO & co-founder of @HYPR joined @gbrulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how a team of four engineers achieved autonomous driving in San Francisco using just 33 watts of compute and an end-to-end neural network that prioritizes learning velocity over traditional simulation and mapping.

We have seen drives like this before, but not with 12 watts of neural inference. Solid work by the @hypr team, with much more to come.
Introducing HYPRDRIVE™ our real-world continuous learning AI stack built on our belief that robots learn best when they learn as they move 🦾🎉

.@gbrulte great to host you and have you experience HYPRDRIVE™.
Looking forward to the pod Tuesday🦾@roadtoautonomy.
Special episode of The @RoadToAutonomy tomorrow with @TimKentleyKlay on what has building at @Hypr.
.@realGeorgeHotz openpilot requires manual braking and turning for corners? Here’s my @hypr crew with our AI HYPRDRIVE driving a @tesla, delivering far better self-driving than @comma_ai ever shipped.

It’s great to be back together @blackbirdvc — @HYPR is proud to have you in the fam, too.
We are excited to announce that Blackbird has led an equity financing of $5.55M in robotics startup @HYPR.
Who is behind it? @TimKentleyKlay – the co-founder of @zoox. As the first check writer into Zoox, it is great to have Tim back in the BB fam 💜

.@zadarlabs new site is up! For all working in the robotics and automation fields, you’ll want to check out the genuinely next-gen radar tech the excellent Zadar Labs is developing — zPRIME, zSIGNAL & zPROX.
Zadar has a new website (zadarlabs.com/)! Check out more information on our breakthrough imaging radar solution, outperforming existing radar and lidar solutions and transforming the way intelligent systems see and sense the world!

Kudos to @alexgkendall and @wayve_ai! Proud supporter. From what I can see the only team in the field with a visionary CS approach for truly scalable AV. Anyone know anyone else that can drive through a metropolis with just 6 cameras and a GPU?
Today we're announcing our $200m Series B. For me, this is a breath of fresh air for the AV industry and strong validation of our different approach. I'm proud of our team's perseverance and the ambitious pioneers building AV2.0 at @wayve_ai.
Such a privilege to see the Universe continuously expressing itself. And then to realize you are that continuum.
The right stuff is always ahead of its time!
🙏🏾 New Normal 🙏🏻
The founding spirit of @Zoox was, and always will be, for us to all to be better connected with each other.
@thegreatkhalid, you won’t know me, but I enjoyed your song and I hope you enjoyed your ride.

Bravo. Such an inspiration! 🙌🏻🚀✨
I was once a child with a dream looking up to the stars. Now I'm an adult in a spaceship looking down to our beautiful Earth. To the next generation of dreamers: if we can do this, just imagine what you can do virg.in/4wYm #Unity22 @virgingalactic
