Robots Redefining the Future
October 14th | Superintelligence Newsletter
Hey Superintelligence Fam! 👋
The world of robotics is witnessing rapid advancements, with groundbreaking innovations transforming industries and daily life. From sophisticated automation systems to robots capable of complex decision-making, the future of robotics looks incredibly promising.
The integration of large language models (LLMs) into robotics is opening up new possibilities, enabling machines to better understand and interact with humans, making them more intuitive and efficient. As these technologies evolve, we are on the brink of a robotics revolution that will reshape everything from manufacturing to healthcare, bringing us closer to a future where robots play an integral role in society.

Movie Gen - a set of foundation models to generate high-quality, 1080p HD videos, including different aspect ratios and synchronized audio; the 30B parameter model supports a context length of 73K video tokens, which enables generation of 16-second videos at 16fps; it also presents a 13B parameter video-to-audio generation model and a novel video editing model that’s attained via post-training; achieves state-of-the-art performance on tasks such as text-to-video synthesis, video personalization, video-to-audio generation and more.
Were RNNs All We Needed? - revisits RNNs and shows that by removing the hidden states from input, forget, and update gates RNNs can be efficiently trained in parallel; this is possible because with this change architectures like LSTMs and GRUs no longer require backpropagate through time (BPTT); they introduce minLSTMs and minGRUs that are 175x faster for a 512 sequence length.
LLMs Know More Than They Show - finds that the "truthfulness" information in LLMs is concentrated in specific tokens; this insight can help enhance error detection performance and further mitigate some of these issues; they also claim that internal representations can be used to predict the types of errors the LLMs are likely to make.
