AI-LLM-Challenges
Spatial awareness is an important new research direction.
Thus, physical intelligence appears to be the next chasm for research labs to cross. They want their models to experience the physics of our world so they can better understand the people, animals and objects within it. The initial demos for GPT-4o and Google’s Project Astra certainly signals their plans to move in this direction, but these features have not been publicly released yet.
This is where robotics models come into play. We have previously mentioned how the field of robotics is transitioning away from specialized models and towards general models like Google Deepmind’s RT-X, and a related news story caught our attention.
Stanford’s Fei-Fei Lee raised $100 million USD for her new spatial awareness startup.
