🚗 Pseudo-simulation combines the efficiency of open-loop and robustness of closed-loop evaluation. It uses real data + 3D Gaussian Splatting synthetic views to assess error recovery, achieving strong correlation with closed-loop simulations while requiring 6x less compute. arxiv.org/abs/2506.04218

We’ve successfully automated part of the (neuro)scientific process. Now I may be out of a job. After a lot of iterations, here’s our framework for automatic discovery, built to embrace degeneracy and the realities of underconstrained modeling.
