Computer use models shouldn't learn from screenshots. We built a new foundation model that learns from video like humans do. FDM-1 can construct a gear in Blender, find software bugs, and even drive a real car through San Francisco using arrow keys.

We’ve raised 75m in new funding from Sequoia and Spark Capital—partnering with @sonyatweetybird, @MikowaiA, and @YasminRazavi, all of whom are deeply supportive of our long-term mission. We’ve also brought on angels & advisors including @karpathy, @tszzl, and @_milankovac_.

New from me this morning: standard intelligence has raised $75m @ $500m to develop computer use models Their hypothesis is that video pretraining gives a better action prior than text and screenshots ➡️ continual learning And their training runs are very brat

Back when we were raising our seed round, Lachy was one of the only people in Silicon Valley who saw our idea, immediately got it, and wrote the check that let us train FDM-1. Incredibly grateful to have him as an early supporter.

VPT (openai.com/index/vpt/) blew my mind back in 2022 so I was very excited to see SI scale up the idea with FDM1, but for knowledge work / computer use. Excited and looking forward to more!

There are very few moments in any decade where you come across a team with truly world-historic potential. I remember sitting down with Galen and Devansh and immediately knowing we had to find a way to work together. Partnering with the @si_pbc team has been, and continues to be,

my blog post in ‘22 actually emphasizes the importance of adept (rip) but also just about the utility of being able to prompt a computer use agent - because a prompt is text and can be arbitrarily created, transformed, piped, split, forked, etc

Text became the main way humans commanded computers.
