    We got a robot to clean up homes that were never seen in its training data! Our new model, π-0.5, aims to tackle open-world generalization. We took our robot into homes that were not in the training data and asked it to clean kitchens and bedrooms. More below⤵️

    Many of you asked for code & weights for π₀, we are happy to announce that we are releasing π₀ and pre-trained checkpoints in our new openpi repository! We tested the model on a few public robots, and we include code for you to fine-tune it yourself.

    🚨 Big news 🚨 Together with a set of amazing folks we decided to start a company that tackles one of the hardest and most impactful problems - Physical Intelligence In fact, we even named our company after that: physicalintelligence.company or Pi (π) for short 🧵

    Optimistic Actor Critic, with the principle of optimism in the face of uncertainty, obtains an exploration policy by using the upper bound instead of the lower bound. Learn how OAC increases sample efficiency compared to other methods: aka.ms/AA6pk3q #NeurIPS2019

    Co-training with static data improves perf on mobile tasks. Signs of generalist policies to come : )

    Mind-blown from reading this paper: meta-gradient reinforcement learning (arxiv.org/abs/1805.09801). A learning algorithm which learns to edit itself online during the training process at no extra data cost. Online cross-validation is so cool 🤯🤯🤯

    Meta-Gradient Reinforcement Learning
    The goal of reinforcement learning algorithms is to estimate and/or optimise the value function. However, unlike supervised learning, no teacher or oracle is available to provide the true value...

    1. Optimistic Actor Critic (neurips 2019 spotlight) Existing tricks to stabilize training leads to pessimistic exploration. We introduce optimistic exploration and obtain sample efficiency gains! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/1910.12807
