It can fold laundry, scoop coffee, clean tables, and fine-tune on robots it’s never seen before. Now you can make it do more. 🤖 🦾

Excited for the team to share FAST - our new robot action tokenizer - pulling off 5x improvements in VLA training speed. Congrats @KarlPertsch and team @physical_int

There are great tokenizers for text and images, but existing action tokenizers don’t work well for dexterous, high-frequency control. We’re excited to release (and open-source) FAST, an efficient tokenizer for robot actions. With FAST, we can train dexterous generalist policies via simple next token prediction, and get a 5x training speed-up over prior state of the art!

As some of you may know, several months back I transitioned from leading Engineering @anduriltech, to starting a company with a talented team of world experts in robotics with the goal of tackling robot learning at scale at @physical_int Today I'm excited to share our first step toward solving one of the most challenging and impactful problems. Introducing π₀: Our First Generalist Policy

@anduriltech is proving that with the right team and business model, a seven-year-old company can go toe-to-toe with the entrenched primes. I couldn't be more proud of our team and what we've achieved starting from a small hanger next to SNA to building a defense tech company that's transforming the industry!
