What was interesting to me was how expensive this thing was, I wonder how much of that cost came from the software. Elon mentioned how they're trying to create a "world model" for their Tesla FSD, which has enabled them to use the same software for Optimus.

I'd imagine the future will be large "ready to go" Ai packages, which companies would tweak to their liking.

Seems to me that smaller, more focused models would be more practical. Why would the tulip machine need to know the rules of canasta or the history of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? I wonder if there's going to be a persistent monolith/microservices cycle.

well world model in the context of the tulip fields, so models could be finetuned+sheared to drop size and remain effective

Wasn't it 180.000 EUR? Once you start buying equipment for the industry you will discover that consumer price levels do not apply here. Perhaps it is the lower scale, or it is the burden of compliance.

Isn't cost typically a function of the value a product provides the purchaser, rather than a function of the inputs required to create it?
