Sounds good. Thanks

Would a AWS G4ad.16xlarge instance be sufficient to match their setup? My open source robotics startup is not particularly well funded, but I am extremely interested in seeing someone replicate their results and could potentially help some with compute costs.

I don't have the funds to offer a full time position anyway. It's more that I would like to see reinforcement learning become practical for solving problems such as "get from your current gps position to this one without crashing" and your previous comments about improvements seem to indicate some opposition to that sort of thing due to concerns about where it could lead.

I would be interested in collaboration, but I am trying to solve a immediate real world problem.

If I may ask, has anyone been able to replicate their original results? I've been hesitant to sink many resources into it because it's not clear.

Also, how much compute do you need? Are you that adverse to simple real world applications such as sidewalk delivery robots?
