Note the title isn't clickbait. OpenAI's first physical robot is going to come to you very, very soon. If you take a look at this, we can see here that Norway's 1X raised $23.5 million in an OpenAI led round. Essentially, OpenAI has just invested and led an investment round for a previously owned robotics company that used to focus on security, that is now building a custom robot that is going to be focused on integrating AI technology into, into real physical robots. They recently just announced that very soon, okay, in the top right hand corner you can see that in summer 2023, which is only around three to four months away, that we're going to be getting the first demo slash reveal of this physical robot that will have AI related features. Now this is absolutely insane news because I thought that we were years away from this and you can see that right here, that on the web page it also says AI embodiment. And additionally it says our newest Android iteration, Neo, will explore how artificial intelligence can take form in a human like body. Now if we look further at this web page, you can see that right here there are four companies that are partnered with this new robotics company. There is ADT Commercial, which is a security company. There is Tiger Global, which is an investment firm. There's an Nvidia company, which of course everybody knows is the company that makes the GPUs, the, that runs the software. And of course, last but not least, we have OpenAI, which is the only company on the partner list that makes large language models. So it's clear that when this company does come to choose a robot to which they want to deploy their large language model to, it's clear that OpenAI has clearly chosen this company. Now I might be jumping the gun here by saying this, but I'm pretty sure that this is exactly what OpenAI is going to be doing when they want to deploy their ChatGPT or their large language model, GPT4 or GPT5, into physical robots that can interact with the real world. I have to be honest, I didn't expect that the AI landscape was going to develop this quickly from large language models to physical robots just in summer. That is definitely pretty fast. Can see right here that it says 1x is thrilled to have OpenAI lead this round because we are aligned in our missions, thoughtfully integrating emerging technology into people's daily lives. With the support of our investors, we will continue to make significant strides in the field of robotics and augment the global labor market. That's what the CEO Said the founder of the company. Now, later on in this video, I'm going to show you how their previous robots were. And to be honest, they were pretty good. They also talk about how they need to deploy these androids in the real world. Deploying our wheeled Android Eve at an unprecedented commercial scale gives us a unique understanding of the challenges and opportunities of the robotics community has yet to address. If androids are going to work in our world, they need to experience our world. And we already know that with GPT4, with its multimodal capabilities, this is something that can definitely happen and it can definitely power these robots. Now let's take a look at what these robots could actually look like, based on some of the previous models that they did create, and based on some of the emerging technologies that we've seen from some of the top tech companies working on AI robots. As we take a look at their YouTube channel, you can see that some of the robots that are very, very good at what they do were released and were doing things years ago, two years ago, three years ago, five years ago, these robots were moving very effectively in many different modes, helping people in many different scenarios. And right here, you can see these robots performing their daily functions with very decent amounts of accuracy. And this is actually pretty shocking because as someone that didn't previously look into the AI space that much, we can see what these robots are truly capable of. Now, remember, these robots here are powered by a different system that is unknown to us right now. But I'm guessing that since ChatGPT is so much more powerful, these robots, if they are going to be powered by ChatGPT, are going to be some of the best robots on the planet. I mean, imagine this robot right here that has the ability to precisely move different things in the physical world and interact with certain things. And with the multimodal capabilities of GPT4, where it can literally look at an image and understand exactly what's going on. And it's going to be really interesting to see exactly what these robots can't do. Now, what's going to be interesting is just seeing when this release date is actually going to be. We know that on the landing page they did say that they're going to debut this in summer of 2023. I think this is just going to be a live stage demo where it's going to be on stage and they're going to show this robot off like many other situations have happened before, but it's going to be really interesting to see if it is going to be powered by ChatGPT 3.3.5 or ChatGPT 4. I mean, I couldn't really see any other company that is going to be powering these robots, especially since OpenAI is now looking to deploy that multimodal capability as the AI race heats up. And this is why, guys, you have to understand that other companies are also in this race too. I mean, let's take a look at Tesla's robot. This is the Tesla Bot, which was recently announced at Tesla's AI Day. This is a robot which is definitely functional. And, and apparently it is powered by AI too. So this is some steep competition for the levels of Tesla and OpenAI and also Google, which we are going to be talking about later, because they also have their multimodal AI, which is actually powered by their largest language model to date. And it does stuff that we honestly didn't think we'd see for many different years. What's also very, very interesting is you can see the uncanny resemblances between, between these AI models. Let's take a look at this model right here. You can see that this model also looks very, very similar. And this is another walking robot that is actually also powered by AI. Now, this robot is powered by Nvidia's Jetson Xavier AI, which actually has multiple different sensors and GPS models to interact with the environment. And this is really interesting because it just shows us exactly what we could expect when OpenAI does finally release this robot with this company called One X. Now, I'm not sure if they're going to do this in summer. Maybe there might be some delays based on the reports we're hearing, where there's so many people calling for the slowdown of AI. But it definitely could be interesting to see GPT5 in its first physical robot. And it does look so much similar to the One X and to the Tesla bot. I mean, they all pretty much share the same head shape. And it's definitely interesting to see how, how these companies are going to out compete one another. And it seems like this AI race is not slowing down, despite the recent reports and despite the recent AI petition. Now, what's interesting is that I did honestly think that OpenAI would actually take the same route that Google did. You can see right here that this is a Google robot that is interacting with the environment. Now, if you're wondering what this is powered by, this is powered by Google's unreleased Palm E large language model, which interacts with the environment in a very interesting way. It, it actually understands exactly what's going on, can do multiple different tasks and can respond even if the given task is interrupted by a different person, which would actually happen in real life. So this is a really, really smart language model that can do many different tasks. Now what was really cool about this large language model by Google is that it could even do tasks that it wasn't even trained on before. And these were visual tasks that it had never seen before, and it could still perform these tasks with a very high degree of accuracy. Now, the task that it was doing in the video was just simply getting the person a bag of chips. Know that these robots are capable of much more because right here you can see that Palm E is able to perform many different tasks. Now, like I said, this is what I thought OpenAI was actually going to do, but they've actually shocked me this time because they are not going down the route of Google. They don't just want these kind of one armed robots that can perform specific functions. Functions. It seems as if they really want to be able to deploy real robots in the real world that can interact with real people. And it seems like they want it to be powered by GPT5 or GPT4, considering that it's the only company on the partnership area that has a large language model. So if this does release in summer of 2023, this could be one of the biggest game changers in the entire AI industry because it will not only be the world's largest language model, the most powerful language model, it is arguably going to be one of the fastest, best, most agile robots we've ever seen. Now, you've seen what the robots look like a couple years ago. Just imagine the kind of technology that they could be working on now, especially with the development from OpenAI, Nvidia and Tiger Global. This is going to be absolutely huge. Remember, these are robots that are doing stuff that isn't powered by ChatGPT's multimodal input. So. So while you're watching this, just understand that this was most likely powered by a less powerful model. And if we have something more powerful, it's going to be interesting to see exactly how precise it is and how accurate it does. Now, there could be some fails, but I highly doubt that with OpenAI's track record of just absolutely destroying the competition in recent months, this is going to truly shake up the industry because not only will they have the smartest robot, they might have the most agile one on the market too. So it seems like a market leader is, is being emerged and placed at the top right here. And it seems that OpenAI might just become one of the most powerful companies in the next couple of years. Now, did you expect AI to go this quick, this fast? I know that I certainly didn't expect it to transform this quickly. I mean, people were scared when they did see Boston Dynamics perform many different crazy tasks. But it wasn't powered by such a powerful large language model. And Boston Dynamics had to be trained on that specific tasks for many different times, and many different times it would consistently fail. Whereas with this large language model I.e. chat, GPT and GPT4, it actually does excel far more consistently. So it's going to be interesting to see in summer 2023 exactly how they demo this and what it's going to be powered by. Maybe it won't be powered by ChatGPT, maybe it will be powered by a different version, but I just can't think that they wouldn't use the multimodal output that they've been developing for so long on anything else other than this robot. There is one thing that I did forget to add on their Twitter account, which they don't even have much followers. Only 2000 followers and they barely get any retweets. They did actually retweet this tweet right here where someone said lots of great type about the large multimodal models right now, but do we get to trillions of tokens for embodied actions? And this basically just means when do we get actions that are embodied in the real physical world world? And they actually retweeted this talking about multimodal models, which is of course referencing Chachi BT's new multimodal model. So of course this is definitely a hint towards what we could be seeing in the summer of2023, which was teased by them on their official web page.
