⚽️ 🤝 🤖 @SkildAI is bringing back self-play, this time for physical AI. Inspired by the World Cup this summer, Skild started from S1 to have a humanoid play soccer against increasingly capable versions of itself:
The 💥 moment here is that scaling pretraining makes S1 better at acquiring entirely new physical behaviors at inference time
So well deserved! The AI era is compute-constrained, and chip design is one of the deepest bottlenecks. @annadgoldie & @Azaliamirh are true forces of nature: they saw this early (before this has now become obvious!) and built @RicursiveAI to solve for it
We're still just getting started @linear, defining how real teams (and their agents!) work in an AI era
