About
Our vision for the Berkeley ecosystem
The best RL researchers and the best students in every department, finally in one room.
Mission
Engineering pays for the work. Research runs through everything. Education builds the pipeline.

Nobody had both.

Talent from every major. No artifacts.
Tech clubs
Great builders. No domain judgment.
