In celebration of our Series B announcement today, here's what I observed as the 7th employee @sundayrobotics: 1/ Full-stack is everything. Our Memory Glove took 50+ iterations from hardware to ML. Left: first prototype 2024. Right: latest gen.

I spent a few days alone in the woods to recharge and I had such a great time in a small woodland and mostly reading slowly at one great pizzeria that the local bands play at. I also strolled through some wildflower gardens and sketched on the beach. I walked away from the time alone with two major reflections from 2026 so far: 1/ Giving people the benefit of the doubt is a hard, important, amazing skill that I really need to continue to work on 2/ I find joy in so many things! Which eases fear of failure tremendously, and makes me feel confident and whole. I heard before that confidence is not the result of being high-success but knowing that failures are minor setbacks and necessary for success. While this makes a ton of logical sense, it never really spoke to the “child” in me who insists that life after failure is horrible. I think a more digestible way to think about being confident is knowing you’ll inevitably feel joy again, from many many things, other than the one thing you happen to be fixating on in the present. I love you California! And I’m grateful to my team who was hard at work holding the fort down while I was recharging 🙂‍↕️

I left @A24 to start Osmo, a storytelling studio with a software factory. Today, we’re launching @osmo_studio to the public: an end-to-end editable video platform that turns Figma, code and reference videos into fully editable motion. We also raised a $5M seed to build it.

There’s a reason 99% of robotics demos are pre-recorded: real-time environments leave zero margin for error, and unscripted interruptions usually panic the model. ACT-2 running live, fully autonomously, while adapting to adversarial behavior with human-level performance is one of the rarest feats in robotics
Sunday Robotics' Tony Zhao runs a fully autonomous robot demo live and unscripted, and it corrects itself every time you mess with it: @brexton: "I want to confirm for the audience right now that this is fully autonomous. There's no teleoperation, no one behind the curtain, and this is real time. And we did not prepare this demo before. Why do you think seeing real-time demos is so rare for robotics? What the audience is seeing right now is not that common." @tonyzzhao: "In order for a live demo to work, it's really stressing all parts of the system. From the bottom is the reliability of the hardware, then the software system, then the model. Because we're a full-stack company, we're able to do excellent work across all of them. We have these robots running pretty much every day, and it just keeps getting better as they practice." @brexton: "So kids can bump into Memo, people can drop clothes, and it will correct itself just on the fly." @tonyzzhao: "Act Two is the first robotic policy that can handle the diversity of homes in a way that is this reliable. You can see as I'm twisting it, if I twist it in again, it will keep doing it. So Memo has infinite patience." @sundayrobotics

Today, we’re launching Tau’s humanoid cleaning service in San Francisco at $30 per hour. Access is initially invite-only as we scale operations. If you don’t have an invite yet, join the waitlist at tau-robotics.com. All footage is shown at 1× speed. Each humanoid is jointly controlled by a human operator and AI.

Looking at the first build of the robot we’re deploying to real homes for the upcoming Beta @sundayrobotics, I feel electric with joy It’s more intuitive, more capable, higher quality, and safer. So much can be accomplished in 6 months

In 2018, Sarah Guo became the youngest general partner in Greylock's 60-year history. She was 28. Four years later, she quit to launch Conviction, a firm staked entirely on AI. Before ChatGPT shipped, she seeded Baseten and Harvey; each is now worth over $11 billion. In Conviction's first year, she wrote early checks into Sierra, Cognition, and Mistral; those three companies are now worth, together, $54 billion. Andrej Karpathy worked out of Conviction's office until Anthropic hired him in May. Guo has been close to Jensen Huang for over a decade. Her first two calls after starting the firm were to Sam Altman and Nat Friedman. And yet the investor closest to the AI frontier is betting against its biggest companies. The two big frontier labs, worth close to a trillion dollars apiece, no longer just want to build the models. They also want to build every product and company on top of them, leaving nothing for anyone else. The market is paying as though they might succeed. Of the $300 billion in venture capital deployed in the first quarter of 2026, the biggest quarter in the history of the trade, 65% went to only four companies: Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, and Waymo. Guo is betting the labs can't build everything, and she spends her days making sure of it. She won Harvey its first client. She flew across the country to take a single Baseten candidate to a four-hour lunch. On one wedding anniversary, she spent the whole weekend on back-to-back calls, keeping two founders on the line so they couldn't speak to rival firms. Twice a year, she flies the world's brightest young founders to San Francisco and inducts them into the fight. In the months @domcooke spent reporting this piece, @saranormous had her fourth child, walked the Met Gala in 45 pounds of chainmail, and still answered her founders' texts within minutes. Guo's parents arrived from China in 1987 with $50, built a company, and took it public at $1.2 billion. Then it went bankrupt. Guo grew up inside that startup. She built its first website, did her homework in a cubicle, and slept over for bug bashes. She loved it. If two labs build everything, no one gets to do that again. Welcome to Sarah's Wager. Read it below.

One researcher candidate: “I am more aligned with Sarah on robotics philosophy than with most roboticists.” @saranormous led Sunday’s seed round in March 2024. What’s striking from day one is how deeply she went into understanding robotics from first principles, instead of relying on loose analogies and what “sounds right.” Sarah has been consistently supportive since then, with the highest level of integrity and intellectual honesty. She is always available (yes, I don’t think she sleeps), with the most genuine and helpful opinions. Grateful to be building with her!

The money shot
Replying to @tonyzzhao
Quantitatively, we measure the generalization gap as the difference between in-domain and out-of-domain performance. As we scale up pretraining, the gap falls sharply. This makes in-house performance a reliable predictor of performance in the wild.

putting a burrito on the Brex anytime Memo folds it that way
Replying to @tonyzzhao
We found a general recipe for Solves: scale pretraining, then hill-climb with minimal in-house data. For the first time, one fine-tuning example can teach a new behavior that generalizes. Below: 4 folding strategies, learned from one example each and tested on held-out setups.
