Impressive work from Japan! (new way to train llms with less VRAM required per compute cluster, while all-reduce is still needed)

A surgeon demonstrated that he could sew a balloon without popping it.

Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

SONIC has been released for a while — here are some tips for whole-body teleoperation 🤖 1. WiFi quality directly determines teleoperation performance It's highly network-dependent. Use a dedicated router, avoid shared networks. PICO and the robot/host must be on the same network. High latency = dropped packets = unstable robot!! 2. Tracker orientation and the clothes you wear matters Ankle trackers must have their indicator lights facing up, unobstructed by clothing. Blocked sensors = unsteady footsteps. 3. Watch the posture before resuming teleop After pausing, unpausing immediately executes your current detected body pose. Return to a neutral standing position before resuming. Slight delay is normal — but too much and performance degrades fast!

Last week, we ran 8 humanoid robots live at DJ Wukong’s Chinese New Year show. 5 on stage. 3 with VIPs. I ran the full pipeline, from mocap to sim to real deployment. Here’s what worked (and what didn’t).

eetimes.com/taalas-specializ… Toronto company made a chip that is 30x times faster than Nvidia GPUs! (15,000 tokens/sec) -- it's amazing stuff, the kind of thing the military or some specialized industry like finance could use, where maximum performance is needed at all costs.

wsj.com/business/retail/walm… It took 30 years: Amazon just surpassed Walmart in revenue! (albeit w help f AWS) -still it looks like this "ecommerce thing" is legit, the 90s dot-com boom is now paying off:) @amazon @Walmart @Scobleizer @MMeekerW @FrankQuattrone @MariaBartiromo

huumans vs. humanoid :)

this little humanoid just solved it's own battery problem ! no more scrambling to find a charger -- embodied EhhGheeEye can now run forever :) @boosterrobotics @UFBots

fun times in Las Vegas , #CES (Linus Tech Tips won @UFBots and demonstrated the robot Direct Body Control that I built actually works in a production env). He'll probably post a video on 'ehm youtubes about his experience with @UFBots at @BattleBots arena )

Researchers at MIT have captured, for the first time, the dynamic process that marks the very beginning of life: when an egg cell is fertilized, it triggers waves of activity that ripple across its membrane. These waves act like a biochemical signal, initiating the complex sequence of events that drives the cell to start dividing and developing into an embryo.

Physical Intelligence @physical_int coffee demo at #NeurIPS2025. What’s the hot take?

How do we make dexterous hands handle both power and precision tasks with ease? 🫳👌🫰 We introduce Power to Precision (💪➡️🎯), our new paper that optimizes both control and fingertip geometry to unlock robust manipulation from power grasp to fine-grained manipulations. With simplified finger motions and augmented fingertips, the hand can perform diverse motions from pinching a nut🔩 to handling a pan🍳. Check the demos below🎥.
