cool but I think expected - these models are conditioned on wrist cameras so swapping grippers mid rollout immediately shifts action predictions towards episodes in the training distribution with the new grippers feels like just another milestone in scaling data. I imagine https://t.co/tPeCs7TREz

tl;dr of "claude plays robotics" is that this is a coupled systems problem today to be competitive they'd need to find or buy a system 1 harness for their system 2 brain aka purchase Pi https://t.co/KWblpkiXso

Corollary to @polynoamial's post (https://t.co/yiLPIu51hk) as robotics models become more capable, benchmark performance will also increasingly be a function of test-time compute. Today though we can think about model capabilities on relatively short time horizons: seconds to https://t.co/f9Mdbyb9T9

Intro paths
Cody went through Y Combinator (Fall 2025) β any YC alum in your network can reach them through the YC community.
Their group partner at YC was Gustaf Alstromer β the partner who ran Parametric's batch and knows the company first-hand. YC profile β
In turn, Cody can intro founders to Parametric's investors below.
