What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: CNBC.
Hank LedgerA former OpenAI executive, Bob McGrew, has launched an AI startup called Arda, valued at one point five billion dollars, CNBC reports.
Vera BullockIt raised two hundred thirty million dollars to help factory engineers, the way Claude or Cursor helps programmers.
Vera BullockWhich is a lovely vision for American manufacturing.
Hank LedgerHe says when a design changes, a human can be retrained in a day. Changing the automation takes three to six months.
Vera BullockThat's a flexibility journey, Hank. The robots are just taking a thoughtful, extended onboarding.
Hank LedgerThree to six months.
Vera BullockAnd the video model watches footage from factory floors, so the robots learn to run factories on their own, reportedly.
Vera BullockThey're basically trainees with a very big screen.
Hank LedgerA day for the human, six months for the robot, and one point five billion dollars for the slow one.
