Digit walks upright on goatlike legs and grabs bins off a shelf with muscular arms made from aerospace-grade aluminum. It places the boxes on an assembly line and walks back to the shelf to search for more. nyti.ms/3OahM1L

For me, this clinches it. LLMs are a general purpose technology.

For five years I've been studying top AI x Robotics startups as they struggled with 'out of distribution' tasks (w objects and actions not in the training data).

Striking progress in just months, enabled by LLMs:

Turns out that vision-language models can control robots too. The secret is to just finetune them to print out the actions (literally, as text). Really excited about our new result, the successor to RT-1. RT-2 is a pre-trained VLM: deepmind.com/blog/rt-2-new-…

Robotics will be the last moat we conquer in AI. What would a RobotGPT's API look like?

Introducing VIMA, an LLM with a robot arm attached 🦾. It takes in multimodal prompt: text, images, videos, or mixture of them.
