Brilliant work from @rmn and @alanyguo solving the “picks and shovels” data quality infra that robotics needs
Introducing Munari: data and operator quality scoring for robotics.
Robotics teams need training data, but collection operations often lack a consistent measure of the quality of their demonstrations. Thousands of paid operator hours, with limited feedback on how to make the next hour better.
We’re changing that with operator and episode quality scoring. Munari lets you:
➤ Evaluate every human demonstration against your definition of good
➤ Turn those scores into actionable feedback that improves how operators collect data
➤ Measure progress across sessions and track quality fluctuations over time
This creates a feedback loop that compounds: collect, score, coach, and measure what improves. Operators learn from each session, teams refine their collection process, and the same human hours produce more usable training data.
This measurement layer is the first step toward training models for reliable deployment. Making sure data teams understand what good looks like and how to consistently produce it.
Our longer-term vision is to help teams benchmark and collect the right data for a specific job, environment, and robot. Knowing what you want to deploy can guide what you collect and how you evaluate it.
Better data collection. Better robots.
We’re already live with early partners and now opening a few more spots for pilot customers.
If you’re collecting data or deploying robots, we’d love to chat!

Over the past 6 months we've maniacally prepped our repos to be coding agent friendly. Here are some things that worked.
1. Make CI blazing fast. Use every Rust, Zig, or Go ported tool that lets agents verify their work. This means UV, oxfmt, Typescript 7. Move integration tests to post merge hooks.
2. Trigger coding agents automatically based on triage labels. A coding agent should setup a proof of concept or repro steps automatically so an engineer can pick up the issue seamlessly.
3. Setup crons for things devs hate doing. Setup agents to fill SDK gaps, skill tuning, filling in critical regression checks.
4. Give agents ways to prove their work. Add screenshotting skills, agent-browswer, cloud storage for storing assets.
5. Make it possible to hermetically deploy your app, preferably multiple at a time. If a coding agent can deploy the app locally, the faster it can work.
6. Give the agents realistic production "simulation" data. Agents will work much better when they are working against data that looks like how your users use the product.

I just stepped on the gas pedal. Double the velocity of the closest competitor. @ProductHunt

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.
The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.
This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .
You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.
Going to have to learn some new tools.
...Among others!
Feel free to share your thoughts as well on tying launches into overall business goals, whether on #ProductHunt or other channels for GTM.
And while you're here, I recommend connecting with these folks in the PH community:
@tela, @FabianMaume, @jaketital
Some other folks involved in our collective (to varying degrees): @Cory_Warfield, @coreyhainesco, @tela, @trevorhatfield, @DanielCTuttle, @FJCopywriter, @ElassadHashem, @jaketital.
X isn’t the best channel to reach everyone, though. (And yes, ensuring more diversity soon! 💕)

In hindsight, I believe one of the best things an entrepreneur can do is to find a mentor, coach, or friend who believes in them even more than they believe in themselves. Of course, entrepreneurs are often confident and visionary, but even with that, there is always a need for help and mentorship. Finding a person who genuinely cares and believes makes all the difference.

this seems like an unusually big deal.
the team at sakana AI figured out a way to take a set of open source models, and use evolutionary methods to automatically "merge" them, and achieve state of the art performance.
you can in principle take the 500K open source models on huggingface and basically "evolve" and merge them to achieve state of art performance beyond any single one of those models, with orders of magnitude less compute than gradient descent.

Excited to release an update to Pongo that includes lower latency, higher throughput, and most importantly increased accuracy.
With our latest update we outperformed Cohere Rerank, the current SOTA offering, by 43% on an english split of the MIRACL Benchmark.
This unlocks countless possibilities for AI apps and agent workflows that need accurate data to operate effectively in high stakes production environments.

I wanna make this kid famous on tech twitter.
Read this post...this is baller stuff.
I was on a run and this kid @marvy_101 stopped me. Was on his bike, chased me down, and was out of breath, ha!!
He wanted to show me a new app he built.
Its called One Click Apply and lets students apply to lots of jobs at once.
He posted about it on his Linkedin. Went viral with 1,700 comments.
He's from Nigeria. Been here for 2 years for school.
Said he interned at Tesla last summer and has an internship at @Dell this summer.
Told me: "I wanna work on my One Click app this summer instead of an internship, but can't afford it."
Check out his twitter and blog. I'll share it in the next tweet, along with the cool app he made.
Looks like he's tinkering and making really cool apps + sharing with his tiny audience.
1. What a baller
2. These attributes (willingness to run me down to show me this, already make cool products) are what future ballers look like when young.
If you wanna work with him, fund him, whatever...DM this kid. Seems very promising.
His name is Oluwapelumi Dada.
Hey @MichaelDell, you should talk to Oluwapelumi.

There is no better example of distribution’s necessity than the newspaper industry. Remember when you'd get your morning news delivered to your front step?
Now, content goes straight into our pockets.
Distribution is always changing. How will you show up?
