I Watched an AI Drive a Real Car Through San Francisco Using Arrow Keys

From the creator

A small lab just shipped something that might be the most important AI agent demo I've seen this year. Standard Intelligence built FDM-1 — a computer use model trained on 11 million hours of video data that can actually generalize to any software interface. It used Blender to model a gear. It drove a real car through San Francisco using arrow keys. With less than one hour of fine-tuning data. This is what true computer use looks like. Also in today's video: Mercury 2's 1,000 tokens/sec diffusion AI, handcrafted 343-parameter models, Nano Banana 2 impressions, and Nvidia's Sonic robot model. ▼ Link(s) From Today’s Video: SI's Computer Use FDM-1: https://x.com/si_pbc/status/2025978959947784290 Inception Labs Mercury 2: https://www.inceptionlabs.ai/blog/introducing-mercury-2 Codex Hand Crafts Model weights: https://x.com/N8Programs/status/2026318679525163189 Nano banana 2: https://x.com/chetaslua/status/2026355434152685582 Nvidia Robotics Model: https://x.com/DrJimFan/status/2026350142652383587 ► MattVidPro Discord: https://discord.gg/mattvidpro ► Follow Me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattVidPro ► Buy me a Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/mattvidpro ▼ Extra Links of Interest: General AI Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrfI66qWYbW3acrBQ4qltDBsjxaoGSl3I AI I use to edit videos: https://www.descript.com/?lmref=nA4fDg Instagram: instagram.com/mattvidpro Tiktok: tiktok.com/@mattvidpro Gaming & Extras Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattVidProGaming Let's work together! - For brand & sponsorship inquiries: https://tally.so/r/3xdz4E - For all other business inquiries: mattvidpro@smoothmedia.co Thanks for watching Matt Video Productions!
