JUST IN: Palmer Luckey's genetically modified military dog startup, Warhound, comes out of stealth, aiming to create enhanced canines for the U.S. military.

This is NOT Palmer's company at all, his company Anduril is only supplying the tech for the dogs, and this is a wholly owed Collosal entiity

(1/6) From @GoogleDeepMind’s AlphaGo to AlphaZero, we saw machines find moves that reached beyond what we’d imagined for them. No one taught them those strategies. They emerged from reinforcement learning: playing, failing, and trying again under a single binary task reward for
This robot has never seen a real-life gear, but assembles one with a 94% success rate! It can also thread an M16 nut and insert a 16mm peg. All trained with RL and transferred zero-shot sim2real from RGB. 🔈
Our method, Success-Guided Sampling (SGS), makes a small change to how
Today, we're introducing SimFoundry, our real2sim2real framework at NVIDIA GEAR that automatically turns real-world scenes into simulation-ready worlds from a single image or video.
