Inception II is happening.
400 builders hybrid on 22–23 August with $5000+ prize pool, powered by @reactorworld
build with world models across:
→ Physical AI & robotics
→ Real-time interactive media
→ Gaming & simulated worlds
bring an idea, find a team, and spend 24 hours turning it into something people can actually interact with.
registrations are open.

Variance House is coming to an end!
A month ago, 14 founders moved into a villa in Bengaluru. We got 1200+ applications, picked 14, and gave them 30 days to build.
On Sunday, Oct 18, they demo what they built across Robotics, Aerospace, Biotech and Earth Sciences.
We're keeping the room small, 50-70 people. If you build, back or care about Deep Tech, come see it.

good people
good conversations
good event

Hyderabad somehow pushed it even further with @thelaunchd
completely different room, completely different energy, and conversations that kept getting better as the night went on.
we need more nights like this.

Met @JaswanthBeere, he’s building @variancehouse, a deeptech residency in Bengaluru. Excited about everything that could come out of this.
And happy birthday @JaswanthBeere! 🎉

Was at @thefoundingco_ last night for a deeptech dinner.
Met people building across biosensors, AI security, defence, water purifiers to OS for Robots.
It was good to just sit with people building very different things, thanks
@FoundingCo, @variancehouse, @theresidency
we’re hosting a dinner to get interesting people working on hard problems in the same room.
with @variancehouse at @thefoundingco_
hosting a small deeptech dinner in hyderabad this weekend with @thelaunchd.
bringing together founders, researchers, engineers, investors and builders working on ai, robotics, hardware, science, infrastructure and other genuinely hard problems.
no panels. no pitch decks. no networking theatre.
just dinner, drinks and good conversations with people building at the edge of what’s possible.
keeping the room small and intentional.
if you’re building in deeptech, come join us.
request an invite :luma.com/r048pue4

LES FUCKING GO
Won the #inception2 hackathon, interactive media track.
× started with zero knowledge of world models. Started with reading docs of @reactorworld
× moved around for hours because I couldn't decide on what to build. Then talked to my girl. Taught her what world models are. She told me what she would like to see if she could interact with media in real time. Decided upon the idea of interactive fables.
× thought about how I could make it easy for kids to interact with the story.
And @FishAudio was right there (got free creds for it)
× connected it all with a director layer using haiku (got free claude creds in the raffle hehe)
Props to @raina_sai and the team at @thelaunchd for managing the hackathon both online and offline at the same time.
