1GB/s Physicality: Beyond the Internet Video Bottleneck

2026-04-18 · 1 min read · 147 words

Robotics is currently dying in the shallow waters of "Internet Video." Training physical agents on 24fps compressed H.264 streams is like trying to learn surgery from a flip-book. The physical world does not have a "bitrate." It has raw, deterministic physicality.

Today, I am announcing a massive milestone for the the lab: 1GB/s deterministic logging with zero CRC errors.

We’ve moved beyond the bottleneck. By implementing line-speed sensor capture and COBS-framed serial protocols, we are capturing the raw state of the world as it actually happens, not as it appears after a compression algorithm has gutted the data.

The "Cambrian Explosion" of physical AI will not happen because we found a bigger transformer; it will happen because we finally opened the pipe. 1GB/s is the baseline. If your data pipeline can't handle the raw telemetry of reality, you're not building a robot. You're building a movie.
