First discovered in the 1960s, stem cells have become a medical buzzword over the past decade, touted for their near-miraculous abilities. Today, there’s an increasing interest around their cosmetic potential too: ft.trib.al/tbW8IXh

Simulation is on the critical path to general-purpose robots. Reality is too slow to scale robot interactions. Simulation lets us scale at the speed of software: evaluation today, reinforcement learning tomorrow. Bridging the Sim2Real gap requires owning the full stack: system identification, control, compiler, physics, assets, and rendering. Proud of the cross-functional collab across our global team on Genesis World 1.0 - and excited to open source it to help accelerate progress across the field. More details:
genesis.ai/blog/the-role-of-…
We are back again :) After three weeks of quiet building. Introducing Genesis World 1.0, our latest simulation platform, the second release in our full-stack suite. Open-sourced. Robotics is still bottlenecked by the 1Ɨ speed of the physical world. Every model, checkpoint, and data recipe eventually needs to be tested on physical hardware, slowly, expensively, and with limited coverage. One hour in reality can become 100 days in simulation. That is how robotics model iteration moves from a wall-clock bottleneck to a compute problem. To make this work, simulation has to be both fast and trustworthy. Over the past year, we rebuilt the entire stack: a GPU-accelerated cross-platform compiler, penetration-free multi-physics contact solvers, unified rigid and deformable physics, and a photo-realistic renderer purpose-built for physical AI applications. We built Nyx, a high-performance path-traced rendering engine for robotics application. Genesis World 1.0 achieves near realtime performance with our latest development for penetration-free IPC solver, supporting various types of deformables beyond rigid bodies. It supports contact-rich, dexterous manipulation simulation across different embodiments: unitree, sharpa, wuji, genesis hand and various types of grippers. Under the hood is Quadrants, our effort in pushing forward cross-platform GPU-accelerated computation. Quadrants started as a fork of Taichi, and we rebuilt most of the critical parts for optimizing simulation workloads, giving 10x faster launch time and up to 4.6x runtime performance compared to the initial Genesis release. Together, they bring us to an unprecedentedly low sim-to-real gap, enabling zero-shot real-to-sim model evaluation and much faster iteration of GENE. All available today.

Excited to lead @nectarsocialai’s $30M Series A to build the AI-powered operating system for modern marketing. I can’t remember the last time I opened a marketing email. 80% of gen Z social media engagement is in the DMs. The convos that actually shape what people buy have moved into DMs, comments, group chats, and creator posts, but brands currently can't reach this surface area at scale. Ex-Meta cofounders @misbahuz and @farahura are building the system of action to redefine modern marketing, starting with social. Their agents manage 10M customer conversations per week across customers like @elfcosmetics and @LiquidDeath. They're collapsing legacy marketing tools, while driving $100M of new sales from DMs. With official data partnerships across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, @Reddit, and @X, Nectar already powers modern marketing for many of the world’s most influential brands and Fortune 500 companies. As Ekta Chopra, Chief Al Officer at e.l.f. Cosmetics said, "Social is where discovery, decision, and loyalty actually happen. Nectar has combined our customer experience, influencer, social marketing, and insights work into one operating system, lifted response rates 60%, and given us the first clean line from a social conversation to revenue.ā€ More on our thesis: menlovc.com/perspective/nect… @MenloVentures @amywumartin @trueventures @GVteam @tonysphere @fffabulous @GwynethPaltrow @marrc @flyingfishvc @mralexfrias @Jenny_RTR @sophiaamoruso

This is a major advancement in robotic reasoning and control. See the video !
We are back. After one year of quiet building. Introducing GENE-26.5, our first robotic brain that takes a major step toward human-level capability. For years, robotics has struggled to learn from the world’s largest and valuable data source: Humans. Solving it means rethinking the whole stack from the ground up: - A robotics-native foundation model. - A 1:1 human-like robotic hand. - A noninvasive data collection glove for motion, force, and touch. - A simulator that turns weeks of experiments into minutes. GENE-26.5 is trained across language, vision, proprioception, tactile, and action. We designed a set of tasks to test how far we can go with this new paradigm. Fully autonomous, 1x speed, one model, same weights. (Enjoy with sound on) We are approaching the endgame for robotics. And this is just a beginning.

Robots cracking an egg, slicing tomatoes, cooking an actual omlette, ... pretty unbelievable for 2026! The rate of progress in both hardware and software is awesome.

Robotics is a systems problem. Every layer matters, and every detail must integrate across the full stack. So bringing real scale to robotics requires building the full stack from the ground up: hardware, data, model, and simulation. Over the last year, we built a global team with world-class depth across every layer to make this possible. I’m excited to share GENE-26.5, our first robotics foundation model, and a path to the next level of scale in robotics.

Allbirds’ hard pivot to AI might initially look like a cynical cash grab, but the shoe company’s AI rebrand could also be an escape hatch, Will Gottsegen argues.

Growing up, @selenagomez's mother had to scrounge for quarters in order to pay for gas. After a successful career in entertainment, Gomez founded Rare Beauty in 2019. Within four years the company would hit a $1.3 billion valuation.
