Import AI 474: a hypothesis of mind and robot post-training
What happened
On 28 September 2026, issue 474 of Import AI covered several advances in AI research. Michael Levin proposed that minds are patterns originating in Platonic space, interfacing through bodies and machines, and argued that this hypothesis can be studied empirically. Stanford researchers Perry Dong and Chelsea Finn said robot pre-training had already scaled, with the missing element now a stable post-training recipe comparable to language models, mentioning their EXPO(-FT) algorithm. The issue also covered TPUs in space and Zhipu starting an external RSI loop.

- Import AIImport AI 474: Platonic mindspace; TPUs in space; Zhipu starts an outer RSI loop
This issue of Import AI covers several developments: Michael Levin proposes that minds are patterns from Platonic space interfacing through bodies and machines, arguing the hypothesis can be studied empirically. Stanford researchers Perry Dong and Chelsea Finn say robot pre-training has scaled, but a stable post-training recipe like that of language models is missing, mentioning their EXPO(-FT) algorithm.
