This product launch statement is but an example of how LMMs (Large Multimodal Models) are more than simply word salad generators: “We’re Axel & Vig, the founders of Innate (https://innate.bot https://innate.bot). We build general-purpose home robots that you can teach new tasks to simply by demonstrating them. Our system combines a robotic platform (we call the first one Maurice) with an AI agent that understands the environment, plans actions, and executes them using skills you've taught it or programmed within our SDK. If you’ve been building AI agents powered by LLMs before, and in particular Claude Computer use, this is how we intend the experience of building on it to be, but acting on the real world! … The first time we put GPT-4 in a body - after a couple tweaks - we were surprised at how well it worked. The robot started moving around, figuring out when to use a tiny gripper, and we had only written 40 lines of python on a tiny RC car with an arm. We decided to combine that with recent advancements in robot imitation learning such as ALOHA to make the arm quickly teachable to do any task.” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42451707 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42451707
