MTS(@MTSlive):Axiom Math's @nautsimon_ says Astra's ability to drive a real Toyota Corolla reveals something surprising about what happens when you scale AI models: "There's probably not this action-and-results kind of training data inside of Astra for driving a car. This is somewhat of an emerging capability. It's not that it was trained on this task and it can actually just do it out of the box." "In the physical world, you have to be able to make many actions within a single second. In this case, we're getting actions every five seconds, so that's clearly not there yet." "Interesting things happen at scale." @tobiges @a
