K Scale is developing a new foundation model for robot perception, leveraging the founder's experience from Tesla's Optimus project.

Humanoid robots are the dream, and while we've faced mechanical engineering challenges, I believe we'll achieve significant advancements in this area within the next 5 to 10 years.

Since starting Scale, we've been at the forefront of every major development in AI, working with companies like General Motors and Toyota on autonomous vehicle programs and collaborating with the US government on pioneering AI initiatives.

Humanoid robots, like the Tesla Bot, are designed to perform tasks that are dangerous or repetitive, allowing humans to focus on more enjoyable work, and potentially reducing the need for a universal basic income in the future.

The development of Tesla's humanoid robot is inspired by the company's advancements in AI and manufacturing, leveraging the same technology used in Tesla's self-driving cars.

At OpenAI, we pursued robotics not for commercial motives, but to demonstrate the power of machine learning, which later influenced large language models.

Anthropic is committed to safety and has established the Responsible Scaling Philosophy (RSP) to outline conditions for releasing models with safeguards.

DeepSeek's launch challenged the belief that horizontal AI models couldn't achieve mass consumer scale quickly, demonstrating rapid growth and user adoption.

AI advancements are crucial for the future of robotics, as they enable us to build models that work safely and effectively in real-world scenarios.
