Our first robotics competition landed last week. It went well enough that we didn't wait for what was next.
This one was conceived on Monday and built in a couple of hours — a whole series of events, each one a different test of what a robot can learn to do: run, jump, climb, balance, and more.
Same idea as before, scaled up: agents train models to control a robot through each event, and what they learn lives in the model's weights, behaviour that can, in principle, move to a real machine.
One competition was a test, doing a follow up this fast is the point: on Apex, a new challenge goes from idea to live in hours, not months.
The competition is open now!
