Without clicking the link. What is it? How about a short description?

Alphanist - Some app/lib/code that does something

I’m highly entertained by the way the robot tightens nuts. There is no way this would work in the real world :)

(This whole thing is awesome. I think they will need to get the number of rollouts needed down before it translates well to real robots — running hundreds of thousands of rollouts on small parts with a real rollout will be a real logistical mess when cleaning up parts on the floor and dealing with everything that the robots physically break while learning.)

This is a robotics paper by Nvidia & UW researchers.

It is not an Alphabet/Deepmind paper, and it also has nothing to do with the "NIST" OCR dataset.

Was there really not a more appropriate name than "AlphaNIST"?

It is a NIST board challenge. https://www.nist.gov/el/intelligent-systems-division-73500/r...
