Hello HN! I'm Sai, the founder of Mitra—an AI assistant designed specifically to handle your personal calls. Mitra makes and answers phone calls on your behalf, uniquely using your…

Sure, go ahead

Actually, here are the full details: - "The Declaratory Ruling limits the use of AI-generated voices in robocalls, but it does not impose a total ban, as some headlines have sugges…

Hi HN! I'm launching Mitra - the first ever consumer grade AI agent designed to talk to people on the phone for you. Voice is clearly the next frontier for consumer applications in…

Virtual avatar generation models can act as world navigators in complex environments. This is a potential new direction for general purpose robotics as well.

Hi everyone. I've published the project page and paper for the AI climbing coach from a while back. Please check it out! Project page: https://virtual-avatar-generation.github.io/ …

We introduce a novel video model simulating human movement in rock climbing environments using a virtual avatar. Our diffusion transformer predicts the sample instead of noise in e…

What do you think are some use cases where an avatar simulation of you can help (if any)?

Correct

To clarify: Of the full distribution of possible video qualities one can take on a modern phone camera, the vast majority of video qualities will be fine for the AI to understand f…

Yes, this will be open source. This is an end-end system that just takes in video frames. Camera parameters are one of the things that is predicted. It gives promising results for …

typo :) thanks

Will post more videos on outdoor rocks soon! I just chose that video for the demo because it was easy to explain the route

Thanks! Still unsure if we will commercially pursue this specific idea or not. This was moreso meant to be a public progress marker from our broader work pursuing virtual avatar si…

It is a new type of biomechanics AI model. More details in our paper which is coming soon!

Ha! That was unintended. "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." - someone somewhere (likely Steve Jobs)

Maybe! Depends on the reception.

Yeah it performs best with indoor bouldering videos with spread out holds and great lighting. I will post examples of it climbing natural walls in the paper. Will send soon.

I will be open sourcing the codebase and model. Due to compute and training dataset size constraints, the model is not exactly "production ready". I have (and am) cherry picking ra…

Note: Will attach more example outputs and make a detailed document about how the model was built and the research behind it. If this is interesting to you, feel free to sign up to…
