    (pretty big) Life update: after a fantastic time in Paris 🇫🇷, I have moved to the UK 🇬🇧, and started my PhD at @UniofOxford. I will be working on (robot) learning with @j_foerst @FLAIR_Ox and @IngmarPosner @a2i_oxford!

    We went for drinks with @huggingface and @LeRobotHF team earlier today, and realized humanoids don't play video games just yet---we just changed that

    So you want your robot to be super-adaptive, fast and never laggy, right?✨boooring🥱 Truth is you want to mess around with it, or at least that's @RemiCadene and us at @LeRobotHF by @huggingface How we improved runtime performance for *the same neural network*: a thread 🧵

    Robotics models are increasingly bulky and difficult to run directly on robots. With @RemiCadene and the team @LeRobotHF and @huggingface we’re changing that. Introducing SmolVLA, a sub-500M VLA designed for efficient training and inference. A thread 🧵
