We're building physical AI for every moving machine. 🎧 Tune into the full @latentspacepod episode: youtube.com/watch?v=rv23_KcH…

“Every automaker is investing in AI and software-defined vehicles, but many are still running on development processes built for a different era.” Live on stage at last week's AWS Summit Japan, engineers demoed Applied Intuition's AI-power Vehicle OS development environment on a Nissan Leaf demo vehicle, making a change to a vehicle welcome sequence and deploying it over-the-air in real time. What used to take months of automotive software development can now happen in minutes. appliedintuition.com/blog/ni…

"The overall ratio I look at is person to magnitude of impact." Our Deputy CTO @malharhar breaks down why fast-growing, mid-sized companies are the sweet spot for engineers looking to maximize their agency and scale. appliedintuition.com/blog/ma…

There are two paths for an immigrant -- either become an engineer or doctor. Now I iz both youtube.com/watch?v=i3yvlz0D…

Autonomous haul trucks operate with no lane lines, no curbs, no signs - just berms, unmaintained haul roads, and obstacles of every size, shape, and material composition. A single sensor isn't enough. Here's how layered sensors help our trucks see in any condition: ➡️ Lidar: 360° coverage in low to no visibility - but some materials absorb rather than reflect, producing returns too weak to register as obstacles ➡️ Cameras: enrich the perception stack beyond what lidar alone can convey, and compensate for each other's blind spots in low light ➡️ Radar: measures the radial velocity of moving objects through the Doppler effect, giving the system the data it needs to assess whether a collision course is developing - something neither lidar nor cameras can do well Our SDS stack is built to a different standard. When the system encounters uncertainty, it doesn't default to a hard stop, instead it plans a path around the obstacle.

World foundation models can generate photorealistic, physically grounded sensor data for scenes that were never driven: any weather, any lighting, any ODD. Applied Intuition has built a complete toolchain around world foundation models that lets autonomy developers turn their fleet data into diverse, validated sensor datasets for production use. We've built a reference implementation around @nvidia Cosmos world foundation models and are excited to share this with developers. The pipeline runs in five stages, end-to-end: ➡️ Curate and auto-label fleet data into conditioning-ready segments ➡️ Extract scenario, map representations, and model sensor geometry to ground the model in the real world ➡️ Generate recipes, conditioning and prompts to guide model response ➡️ Post-train to match sensor configurations and run model inference in batch on cloud ➡️ Validate every batch with autonomy-specific checks and image quality metrics The model is powerful. The pipeline is what makes it usable in production. Read the full pipeline breakdown here: appliedintuition.com/enginee…

The future of autonomous driving is now software-defined and globally standardized. The @UNECE’s new framework reflects the same safety-case methodology powering our autonomy stack. By leveraging billions of simulated miles and rigorous edge-case validation, we enable OEMs to deliver the traceable safety evidence now required for global scale.

Applied Intuition CEO @qasar says the market for physical AI is "way, way bigger" than the market for white-collar AI: "I used to be at Y Combinator. I was the COO, ran the firm, and funded lots of interesting companies. And one of the analogies I used to use to help founders understand market potential and size is: I grew up in Detroit. You're sitting in the Detroit metro airport at a gate, and you look around. How many of those people are using Claude Code? Frankly speaking, not many." "But how many of those people drive? How many people work at construction sites? How many of those people ride in buses? How many of those people serve in our armed forces? The point is: a much, much larger group." "The market for physical AI is way, way bigger. Purely because the surface area is much bigger." From his appearance on the show in March.

Autonomy doesn’t scale when every program builds its own infrastructure. During @SecondFront Offset Symposium, our Head of Federal Growth, Ezra Shapiro spoke about our work with the @CDAODoW on Autonomy Factory to build an enterprise autonomy pipeline that accelerates autonomy development and deployment across the @DeptofWar at mission speed.

Did you catch this week's episode of @LemonadeCast? @DougDougFood and @aidencalvin stopped by HQ to tour our garage and talk all things physical AI.

本日、Applied Intuitionの自動運転システムが正式に日本へ上陸しました。日本の自動車業界は、サプライヤーに対して独自の基準を課しています。 私たちは長年にわたり、日本に拠点を持つチーム、日本でのデータインフラ、日本の企業とのパートナーシップを構築し、その基準を満たす準備を進めてきました。 自動運転を世界中でスケーラブルにするためのこの重要な一歩について、詳しくはこちら：appliedintuition.com/ja/blog… Today, Applied Intuition's Self-Driving System officially comes to Japan. The Japanese automotive industry holds its suppliers to a different standard. We've been building to meet it for years: local teams, local data infrastructure, local partnerships.

It’s no longer about just banging out code. As our co-founder and CTO, Peter Ludwig, said on @latentspacepod, the engineering talent standing out the most today knows how to ask the right questions and integrate AI tools into their workflow effectively.

"We've raised about $1B, and that's basically all on the balance sheet. Very rare for an AI company to have a business model," @AppliedInt's @qasar tells @ReedAlbergotti. "Lots of other models, but the business model seems to be the most elusive type of model."

"The sooner you find a partner you can work with this closely, the faster you move." — Georg Pinkert, Applied Intuition When we kicked off our partnership with @TRATON_GROUP , the work wasn't just about building a vehicle OS platform. It was about building a true partnership that transformed the way our companies worked together and at a Silicon Valley speed. From shared source code access to joint engineering teams, we went from a system demo to prototype trucks on the road in 12 months. appliedintuition.com/blog/ap…
