🚀 New Paper! 📄✨ In this paper, we propose a *fast* and *scalable* Robust Model Predictive Control, enabling more safety for (agile) robotics! Indeed, most RMPC are not scalable, requiring a system-specific stabilizing controller.

@lambdaviking @jowenpetty @Ashish_S_AI From a control theory point of view, this result is very natural. Linear state space models may not be able to encode the state of nonlinear systems. Looking forward to seeing more connections!

How do you balance repeat training on high quality data versus adding more low quality data to the mix? And how much do you train on each type? @pratyushmaini and @goyalsachin007 provide scaling laws for such settings. Really excited about the work!

@chris_j_paxton @jxmnop The capability wall is probably caused by the data quality. That’s why OpenAI keeps signing new collaborations with newspapers to access more high-quality data. Financial Times is the last example for OpenAI.

Lots of confusion about what a world model is. Here is my definition: Given: - an observation x(t) - a previous estimate of the state of the world s(t) - an action proposal a(t) - a latent variable proposal z(t) A world model computes: - representation: h(t) = Enc(x(t)) -
