Robot models don't have the benefit of internet scale data that LLMs do
Tesla, Google, Meta are all massively ramping up creation of proprietary robot training data
Token incentives could potentially create the largest open source robot training data set
Cool work by @virtuals_io
Robotics strategy is a major long term priority for every major tech CEO in the world right now
Imo maybe only Google will be able to pull off the robot foundation model component because they’ve spent a decade+ working on it with significant resources
None have the DNA for commercializing complex hardware. The innovation and growth on this end will come from new companies like @Apptronik like you see in this video
2 years ago when I invested in @Figure_robot I could not understand why I had access to what seemed to be a generational opportunity as an outsider
After speaking to many tech VCs, it became apparent that most were either not comfortable/bullish with underwriting hardware deals or LPA didn’t allow them
We saw this VC bias as an opportunity to pivot hard into robotics and have since deployed $220m+ into the space
We are on track to deploy billions next year from pre seed to post IPO
If you’re building something exciting in robotics, or are a talented investor (we are expanding), DM me
Tom Lee literally top blasted top of a 4 year range delivering unprecedented amounts of exit liquidity to crypto natives including ETH foundation and ETH cofounders. Similar to Celsius in 21/22
Not surprising that a boomer would back a boomer zombie tech asset

🎯 A major milestone on the road to embodied intelligence.
This week, @GoogleDeepMind's Gemini Robotics VLA reaches an important milestone in our joint mission to bring AGI into the physical world. By introducing agentic capabilities - the ability to reason, plan, actively use
A few strong views on the Robotics Industry:
1 - General Purpose Robotics will be much larger than Specialized Robotics
2 - Vertically integrated (AI + hardware) companies have huge edge
3 - In the short term, the best robot models will be derived from real robot data. In the long term, they will come from simulated data
4 - The biggest companies will be US companies that understand how to bridge the talent and infrastructure from Asia
5 - Early distribution is critical
We’re excited to colead Dyna’s Series A with a $68M investment
Dyna is one of the ONLY companies that have performant physical intelligence models that are ready to be deployed in the real world
Physical AGI is coming!
Make sure to follow @Lindon_Gao @JasonMa2020 @YorkYang5050
Earlier this year, we led an investment consortium that invested $120M into @Apptronik
This is our thesis on Humanoids and Apptronik
StablecoinX Inc. @stablecoin_x has announced an additional $530 million capital raise as part of its $ENA accumulation strategy.
To date, StablecoinX has raised a total of approximately $895M in PIPE financing, which is expected to result in a vehicle with over 3 billion ENA
