No they didn't. You can see all the commits as this was built iteratively[0]. This project started development on Saturday morning and now it's here.

This is pretty common now, people love to rapidly throw together stuff and show it off a few days later. The only thing different about this from your average Show HN sloppa is that it's living under the NVIDIA Github org, though that also has 700+ repositories[1] in it so they don't appear too discerning about what makes it into the official repo.

My best guess is this was an internal hackathon project they wanted to release publicly.

it's the new norm that you put together stuff, it works and you show it off.

all the naysayers, "senior" engineers who haven't done any assisted coding by Claude/codex, just need to get either with the program or it's time to retire, as this is just the beginning.

if you can't ship stuff in days then I have some bad news for you.

		> it's the new norm that you put together stuff, it works and you show it off. You're probably right, but it'd be nice if the new norm were you put together stuff quickly using AI-assisted coding, you use it yourself and iterate on the product for a while as you discover things you dislike/features you want/etc, and then you share it with the world. It seems like everyone wants to skip the second step. Most of the "Show HN" sloppa that gets built in a few days and shared here ends up abandoned immediately after.

Cash in on the claw brand recognition by having "claw, but Nvidia".

And, to be fair to them, it works. It sticks. It gets the desired reactions.

Sorry to be the one to inform you that we edit history in git.

There has been reporting on nemoclaw for the last couple weeks. Are you supposing that journalists were writing about software that hadn't even been designed?

		> Sorry to be the one to inform you that we edit history in git. Who is "we"? Do you work for NVidia? > There has been reporting on nemoclaw for the last couple weeks. The earliest reporting I've seen was yesterday. Can you link something from prior to March 14? edit: I did find some articles from before March 14[0] which says NVidia was "prepping" this. Which is extremely funny, because it means they were hyping up software which hadn't even started being written yet. The AI bubble truly does not stop delivering. > Are you supposing that journalists were writing about software that hadn't even been designed? If you think journalists writing about things that will never exist is new, welcome to the real world. There's a whole term for it.[1] [0] https://fudzilla.com/nvidia-opens-the-gates-with-nemoclaw/ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware
