After 16 years and 10 months -- I'm finally writing my first...X? Also, will start writing more regularly. My first post is, ironically, on why I'm posting. qy.co/new

When I joined @AppliedInt, back in early 2019, it was just a handful of engineers working above a bar in Sunnyvale. The website didn’t really tell you what we were. We just wanted to build amazing products for the real world, from fighter jets to hundred ton trucks to autonomous vehicles. But we’ve always been really paranoid about losing the special culture we built in the early days to the monotony of corporate scale. Somehow, even as we’ve grown into a thousand person company, a lot has stayed the same since (like being in the Manhattan of the Bay, Sunnyvale). And of course, we’re still building amazing products. Continuing from my prior video, we captured the culture that pulled me in all those years ago and how we’ve protected it as we’ve grown in this @firstround Review. These are all questions I’ve been asked about in the last few years from founders of all company sizes so might as well put it in one place. P.S. At the minimum, there’s some awesome photos inside so take a look :)

Current world models often separate spatial reasoning from temporal modeling, leading to consistency bottlenecks and scaling limits. We developed RAYNOVA, a 4D world foundation model, to address this by unifying space and time into a single representation via a pure auto-regressive framework. The result: Data-driven high-fidelity simulation data that scales across any vehicles, anywhere. Read the full technical breakdown: appliedintuition.com/researc…

We got a Deputy CTO. Is that a made up title? Hint, all titles are made up. But that's not the point! The point is if you're a young engineer, it's important you find good role models and I think @malharhar is a good example of a good role model.
I wanted my first public video to be learnings from the past 7.5 years here at @AppliedInt. Hopefully it’s useful to the next set of builders 🐻

Great article I read at least once a year since it came out. I've come to think so much of wisdom is gained from perspective archive.is/EwSWT

This has got to be one of the best opening scenes ever. What does this have to do with AI or the valley or whatever? Nothing. Grow yourself by exposing your self to great work. If you haven't seen this movie, you're in for a treat. It's high art youtu.be/9eZ6EACDKiE?si=1USm…

Qasar Younis on how Applied Intuition uses books to mold company culture: "We also read books as a company, as a leadership team, and then we invite the whole company to do it." "Think about your company as this bespoke piece of clothing that you get made, and then you grow, and then before you know it, you have to constantly re-tailor your company for the scale and type of company it is." @qasar @AppliedInt
"The best books to read are the old books." - @qasar "Over 25-50 years, time has filtered all the noise, so you get a lot of signal." "In your life, how many books are you going to read?" "Pick the really good ones—because what you read does impact your view of the world."

When we look back 25 years from now, one of the larger impacts of AI will be injecting intelligence into machines that move us & things
Feb 14
Applied Intuition CEO Qasar Younis: "Our vision of the future is every moving machine will be intelligent." "[Self-driving is] one part of that intelligence. It’s not the whole thing." "Once you have a beefy central compute, you can do a lot more things with it." "Just think about this dumb car or this dumb tank becoming more like your phone." @qasar on Uncapped with @jaltma

Applied Intuition’s cofounders are building software that can drive everything from planes to tanks to automobiles. But to expand beyond its $800 million business selling tech for cars, they will have to take on Tesla, Google, Nvidia and a host of other startups jostling for pole position in the autonomy race.

Jamie Dimon visited us and gave a talk that could be roughly summarized as "The Enemy Within". A simply incredible conversation. More in thread...

To echo Jamie: the biggest threats for the company, the country, and even ourselves is from within, rather than external factors like competitors.
