About Lightwork
There's more AI news than anyone can possibly consume. Lightwork is the filter. Every Monday, Lightspeed's Claire Zau and Josh Machiz break down the one development that mattered most that week — a model release, a funding round, a company structural shift — and work through what changes because of it. They also bring in a guest working at the front of AI to sharpen the picture. By the end of each episode, you'll have a clearer view of where things are going and why it matters to you. New episodes every Monday morning. Have something you want to hear? Email us at lightwork@lsvp.com.

So I think those are sort of the spaces that I've seen it excel in. Another video I saw was on how it could be applied to spatial reasoning, which is really interesting. I think someone fed it a video of someone playing Cornhole, and then it had... I saw that. It was amazing. Yeah, right, a simulation. And this isn't the same as some of the VLAs and... robotics brains that we've talked about previously on the show like this is not skill yes this is different exactly this is not that what it is though is it can now very clearly work as a planner and a simulation builder so it understood what was happening worked out the physics and then wrote a plan and then implemented that.
