Played with a bunch of new robots in China last year - it was clear something big was coming. Stoked to be building in this moment and pushing the robotics revolution forward at Instawork.
I absolutely believe real world RL is the future
We developed an RL method for fine-tuning our models for precise tasks in just a few hours or even minutes. Instead of training the whole model, we add an “RL token” output to π-0.6, our latest model, which is used by a tiny actor and critic to learn quickly with RL.
Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji, I am currently stranded in Dubai due to the ongoing crisis, with flights cancelled and no clear way to return to India. I respectfully seek the Government’s guidance for a safe journey home Grateful for any support extended🙏🏻🇮🇳 @MEAIndia @indiaindubai
I’m glad @instawork has real people
10 years ago, I was in a small town in India, slow internet, found out I just got into MIT. Today, I'm back on campus for the first time since graduating – sponsoring HackMIT with Warp, giving a talk on my journey India → MIT → founder. crazy full-circle moment.
Anyone need labor? Specifically warehouse labor? Maybe warehouse labor on the West Coast? 📦🤔
The 2nd most exciting news in AI you will read this week, I promise 😉 Proud of our team’s great work helping support critical initiatives for the biggest innovators in AI — and finding new ways to create economic opportunity for our Pro community.
🚀 Instawork just revealed a new offering to support companies with AI projects like Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) initiatives and data collection training for robotics. This offering confirms Instawork as the leading staffing marketplace at the forefront of
One of the most useful ways to evaluate people is through their unique insights and the best people observe and discover new unique insights absolutely all the time. They are meaning making machines instead of following mechanistically the beliefs issued to them.
Consumer AI is so back
🛍️@shopencoreapp (YC F24) is your all-in-one shopping assistant, starting with resale. Make browsing fun and uncover unique gems with their conversational search engine, refining results from 100s of platforms in seconds. Congrats on the launch, @parthematics + @alex_ruber!
If you are an early-stage founder in AI, Consumer, EdTech, and HR Tech! RSVP here: lu.ma/o6dkq3hh @sidvent and I are looking forward to meeting you.
Just apply. Don’t overthink. Surround yourself with ambitious folks. YC is where you find them. Nowhere else will you have similar density of ambition. YC changed my life. It has changed lives of 1000s. It will continue to do so. Hop on.
If you’re interested in working on any of these ideas, you should apply to YC. The deadline for the next batch is tomorrow at 8pm PT. ycombinator.com/apply
@shoffr_in if you can’t offer a premium service, don’t offer one. Pre-booked cab for airport, 3 days in advance. Driver calls and denies service. No one picking up phone at CS. Charge 2x but stick to your values. Don’t raise funds to become yet another Uber. 🙏
@jasonlk 💯 Just do it, put yourself out there: sumir at instawork dot com
The best part about being a founder is you get to pick the people that you work with.
Monetisation efforts in a freemium product - should make the UX better, not worse. Either, have the guts to convert free into paid. (PUSH) Or, make add-on stuff so lucrative that one cannot resist. (PULL) But, if you are too scared - you design the latest Healthifyme.
