tendon-driven 3D-printed hand from Irmak Guzey and team at the Lerrel Pinto lab. * costs $1300 to build, compact human-profile. * the tendons are actually off-the-shelf fish-line, super strong and never break. the plastic parts break before the tendons ever do. * mountable on

With first Claude and now Gemini playing Pokemon, I was thinking of doing my own game-playing experiment over the weekend. However, I quickly learned that it's very far from the VLA-style "pixels->plan" that I naively thought it was, and wanted to do myself. It's like 90%

the PyTorch Foundation is becoming an umbrella for great AI open-source projects. vLLM and DeepSpeed are joining PyTorch as the first two projects! Super excited to be able to bring together multiple like-minded, high-quality projects into the foundation. Props to

This is a proper Vibe-coding setup for GPU programmers, and can result in getting surprisingly far! I honestly think that if this authoring experience is v1, then v10 might become the normal way GPU experts start writing serious custom kernels! Great work Anne Ouyang! (finally

considering Muon is so popular and validated at scale, we've just decided to welcome a PR for it in PyTorch core by default. If anyone wants to take a crack at it... github.com/pytorch/pytorc…

About a dozen people sent me the Unitree announcement today. Makes sense, since I guess since K-Scale is the only American humanoid robot company with a product that you can actually buy. If you are American and you care about the future of robotics in this country, you should

People who run lots of small training jobs for your day job, what is one thing about experiment management / hygiene that you wish you knew when you started out?

torchtitan has built it HSDP + diloco support, it's probably the best place right now to start doing decentralized learning research. It also come with support for many arch (llama3,llama4, deepseekv3...) as well as all possible parallelism (6d?). Pytorch team cooked here
