Interview with Tashi Intelligence's Chen Yilun: No VLA, no simulation—an embodied AI company's contrarian bets
Linear Capital reposted LatePost's interview with Tashi Intelligence founder Chen Yilun, who laid out a technical path that differs from the mainstream: he rejects the VLA architecture that grows an action head on top of a VLM, and instead develops its own AWE (AI World Engine), aiming to represent physical quantities such as time, space, and force; it has also abandoned teleoperation data collection in favor of a self-developed collection device combining a wearable glove and a first-person-view camera.
