I spent the past month reimplementing DeepMind’s Genie 3 world model from scratch Ended up making TinyWorlds, a 3M parameter world model capable of generating playable game environments demo below + everything I learned in thread (full repo at the end)👇🏼

I spent the past year building AI for robots at Tesla Optimus and Dyna Now I'm introducing ANDROID DREAMS: an essay of my predictions for the next 20 years of robotics, inspired by Situational Awareness and AI2027. I predict EGI by 2031 and more robots than humans by 2045👇🏼

I trained a 2-arm robot using my Nintendo Switch (+ an action transformer) how I did it + my most interesting takeaways below👇🏼

Over the past 3 months I’ve been interning @tesla_optimus to build AGI for the real world. Robotics is the hardest frontier of AI, but it gives us a clear path to eliminating scarcity. After working on Optimus, I’ve never been more confident that universal abundance is within

I trained a humanoid robot to play famous anime openings on the piano with reinforcement learning (Attack on Titan, Evangelion, SAO, and more) how I did it + surprising discoveries in thread🧵

9/ Finally, here’s tinyworlds: github.com/AlmondGod/tiny… It’s a minimal codebase to help people understand world modeling. Try it out yourself and make a PR, there are many easy + impactful additions to make (such as Mixture of Experts, Muon, and scaling). Thank you to @runpod

Makes you appreciate how cracked the brain is: we're simultaneously running inference and updating our weights at all times

Read the full version below: android-dreams.ai I predict how embodied general intelligence (EGI) will be created, and on the way, how the US will out-manufacture China, endure political upheaval, and produce more robots than humans. (While I used to work at Dyna and Tesla

1/ understanding world models World models are neural networks that simulate physical worlds by generating videos. DeepMind’s Genie 3 proved that, just like LLMs, scaled-up world models exhibit emergent behavior: > Controllability: Pressing the right arrow makes the camera pan

3/ building the space-time transformer Normal transformers in LLMs understand language, which is 1D. TinyWorlds requires a model that understands video, which is 3D (height, width, time). This model also has to train quickly and learn using both actions and video. Space-time

Finally, here’s a run of the autonomous ACT policy (5x speed). Thanks for making it to the end! If you're interested, see this longer blog about the project: rain-argon-1fc.notion.site/ALOHA-Bigym-Jo… and the git repo: github.com/AlmondGod/aloh… Thank you to @JasonMa2020 for inspiring this project!

2/ building the dataset of worlds Before training TinyWorlds, I decided what video game worlds my model should generate by building the dataset. The set of worlds the model sees in training determines what worlds it generates. I created TinyWorlds' dataset by processing

Superintelligence Era, 2045+ AI continuously improves by learning from interactions with the real world. Humans still work in domains where humanness matters, like healthcare, education, resource allocation, and the arts. Humans live more diverse lives. Many new ideologies
