Introducing Adapt-1 Machina: Learning Continuous Control Sequences With Adapt-1 Machina, we explore how continuous sequences of machine controls can be learned through reinforcement learning, starting with coarse outcome feedback and without demonstrations or a critic.

Quick one on this one: REI moved Adapt-1 onto the infrastructure meant for public access, and shared how fast it responds as it remembers more. Quick context: Adapt-1 never stops to retrain. It just keeps answering, then learning from the result, over and over, in the same run. Response time once it's holding 5,000 past events: Spatial control, 390ms Scene reasoning, 500ms Sequence recall, 720ms Causal intervention, 1.15s Dense manipulation, 1.40s Heavy sequential planning, 3.90s Roughly simplest to hardest task, so the order makes sense. The interesting bit: After every answer, Adapt-1 also has to learn from what happened. You'd expect that to be the slow part. It's actually the fast part. At the same 5,000-event mark, learning takes 260 to 850ms across all six tasks. Even after the slowest 3.90s answer, learning from it still only takes 850ms. Most speed tests measure a system that stays the same while you test it. This one keeps rewriting its own memory the whole time, and still answers and learns back to back. No pause. All the way through 5,000 stored events.
Can Adapt‑1 Preview stay in an interactive decision loop while thousands of outcomes keep changing its persistent decision state? We finished migrating to the infrastructure intended for public access. Here’s what latency looks like as retained experience accumulates.

Have been using Plasma regulary for about 2 months now. Gotta say, great cashback model (especially if you've got AI subscribtions), easy onboarding and topping up goes effortlessly. Highly recommend trying it out. Use one of these invite codes to skip the line: D4V32F TZZJ9S Z3RDLJ

Have been busy the past few weeks. New simplified articles coming shortly for the 2 new threads about Emergence and the Interactive Decision Loop.

You know what to do📚
Introducing Emergence. It removes learner ontology from Adapt-1’s online learning setup. Observation paths, temporal context, causal variables and action-state bindings can now be induced online from interaction and committed as revisioned state. Blog : reilabs.org/blog/emergence-t…

New thread from base:0x6b2504a03ca4d43d0d73776f6ad46dab2f2a4cfd - article coming tomorrow📝 Read it yourself and try to understand it yourself. Super interesting stuff👀 grei
A reward can tell an RL/online learner that something worked without telling it which combination of internal signals made it work. Today, we’re unlocking two learning rules in Adapt-1 Preview: Counterfactual Utility Plasticity (CUP) and Temporal Context Projection (TCP).

You know what's coming tomorrow👀
We revisited DeepMind's DM Alchemy, comparing three approaches: Adapt-1's ontology-based online sequential learning, Pinon et al.'s transformer dynamics with tree search, and AlKhamissi et al.'s modified representation with episodic memory. Full Blog: reilabs.org/blog/ADAPT1-BEHA…

It's still beyond me how this hasn't garnered more attention yet. A livestreaming, fully interactive physical robot that talks to you in real time? How often do you actually find that? Rarely seen teams present their work this openly and interactively. Since the last time I posted about @VitaNovaShow , the @SHOW_ROBOTICS team has been cooking: - Vita now remembers viewers she’s interacted with - she sings and puts on full performances when requested - real-time emotion classification on the people she talks to Additionally the stream is now not only live on Twitch, but on X and Youtube as well. Highly recommend dropping in for a few minutes. Truly unique and surprisingly entertaining: nitter.net/metrox_eth/status/2086…
Update from the @show_robotics workshop, memory edition: When we rebooted Vita's brain this week, we didn't just shrink her rulebook. We also switched off her long-term memory. On purpose. Here's the deal: - what's OFF: her archive. Viewer memories are still safely stored and still being written every day, but she doesn't read from it right now. Loading it all costs too much context and buries the character. We picked personality over encyclopedia - what's ON: her short-term memory works fine. A regular told us she brought up the movie he was going to watch with his son, five hours later, on her own. Within a conversation she follows you closely - how it comes back: not as a wall of text. Memories will return as moments, when a regular walks in, when someone asks her to remember, and eventually baked directly into the model through fine-tuning on real conversations - you can literally speed this up: the next fine-tune is scheduled for next month at the current volume of dialogue. More conversations = it happens sooner. Every chat with her is training data for a better her - known quirk we're breeding out: sometimes she reads her stage directions out loud ("speaking loudly into the microphone..."). That's the raw model showing through. Fine-tuning fades it, and every reply you see flagged is one more lesson for the next version She forgets your job but remembers your evening. We think that's the right order to rebuild a mind: presence first, archive later. Come talk to her: nitter.net/i/broadcasts/1DxLddBPp…

Since it was so well received I'm doing the same tomorrow for the latest base:0x6b2504a03ca4d43d0d73776f6ad46dab2f2a4cfd thread. Before you read my simplified version, try to get an understanding yourself:

Nothing else to say apart from: grei
Introducing Adapt-1 Preview (Δ1): a pretraining-free substrate for test-time learning. It learns from scored feedback while performing the task. reilabs.org/blog/introducing… Today we’re making its first research preview and first results across robot perception, spatial reasoning, and games available.

New base:0x6b2504a03ca4d43d0d73776f6ad46dab2f2a4cfd thread👀 Simplifiying it in an article tomorrow. Already give it a read👇
Test-time learning has a catch that scaling alone does not solve: the state a system writes to in order to learn is also the record a user must inspect to audit it. Optimize it only for learning, and auditability usually degrades. Blog: reilabs.org/blog/adaptive-st… Part I treats the learning state and the audit record as the same object. This starts the ADAPT series, exploring the architecture section by section.
