F. Chollet: autoregressive sampling alone can't solve real-world robotics

LearnWithBishal · x · 2026-10-15

François Chollet (creator of Keras and ARC) argues in a thread that real-world physical tasks cannot be solved by autoregressive sampling alone — the physical world is unforgiving to hallucination and approximate pattern matching. Building truly autonomous robots requires engineering causality and discrete reasoning back into the loop. He credits Biwei's team at Aether AI for doing foundational, non-consensus work here. A reply adds: the hard part isn't making a model sound intelligent, it's making its decisions hold up when reality pushes back — a very different engineering problem.
