What will the continued support for this project be, given that Uber has shuttered their AI Labs?



Neuropod was created at Uber ATG (not AI Labs) and powers hundreds of models across the company (ATG and the core business). It's been used in production for over a year and we're continuing to actively work on it.

The blog post I linked above goes into more detail, but here's a relevant quote about usage within Uber:

> Neuropod has been instrumental in quickly deploying new models at Uber since its internal release in early 2019. Over the last year, we have deployed hundreds of Neuropod models across Uber ATG, Uber AI, and the core Uber business. These include models for demand forecasting, estimated time of arrival (ETA) prediction for rides, menu transcription for Uber Eats, and object detection models for self-driving vehicles.


I'm a former Uber AI Labs member - they're different orgs. Begs the question though, who at Uber will use this now?


(EDIT there are many projects at Uber using neuropods)


Also it's great.


From the looks of it. It is from uber ATG not from AI labs. I believe those are two different orgs. Someone from uber can clarify
