Humanoid robotics just got a major boost. @FlexionRobotics has raised a $50M Series A to build what could become the intelligence layer for the next generation of humanoid robots. The Zurich-based team, led by Nikita Rudin (with experience from ETH Zurich, NVIDIA, Meta, Google, and Tesla), is taking a different approach than most in the space: 🔹 Language-level task reasoning 🔹 A VLA model trained heavily in simulation 🔹 Transformer-based whole-body control The ambition? Robots that don’t just replay human demos, but actually understand, adapt, and perform tasks with true autonomy. If humanoids are ever going to be useful in factories, logistics centers, and real industrial environments, someone has to solve this intelligence layer. Flexion is taking that challenge head-on. With $50M in fresh capital, they’re now scaling compute, expanding robot fleets, and moving toward deployments with major OEMs. And honestly? Watching the progress — even the way these robots walk — is incredible. #AI #Robotics #Humanoids #Automation #DeepLearning #FutureOfWork Source 🙏 @lukas_m_ziegler @IanLJones98 @NevilleGaunt @bamitav @altiamkabir @sijlalhussain @marcusborba @jblefevre60 @Nicochan33 @TerenceLeungSF @KirkDBorne @CurieuxExplorer @enilev @Eli_Krumova @pascal_bornet @anand_narang @sulefati7 @Xbond49 @Hana_ElSayyed @engmlubbad @Timothy_Hughes @mcanducci @RLDI_Lamy @segundoatdell @engmlubbad @rvp @ipfcoline1 @PatGrant7777 @NigelTozer @Ronald_vanLoon @pierrepinna @Khulood_Almani @BetaMoroney @AkwyZ

Time To Power: A look Inside Innovation Park from the Summit Floor - @schneiderelectric At the Schneider Electric Innovation Summit North America 2025, in Las Vegas, I had the chance to experience firsthand how quickly the new energy landscape is taking shape, not in theory, but in real, measurable progress. Schneider Electric has a 135-year legacy in the United States, and throughout the Summit, it was clear how that history continues to guide the company’s leadership as the leading energy tech partner at the intersection of energy, AI, and digital transformation. Walking through Innovation Park brought the strategy into sharp focus. Each zone showed how intelligent infrastructure is transforming the systems we depend on: 🏠 Homes: digital energy for smarter, more sustainable living 🏢 Commercial Buildings: efficiency powered by automation and digitalization 🏥 Healthcare: resilient, AI-ready medical environments 💾 Data Centers: high-density, AI-optimized architectures ⚡ Infrastructure & Grid: modernizing the backbone of the energy system 🏭 Industry: real-time automation for manufacturing & process environments 💧 Sustainability & Water: circular, resource-efficient operations 🚀 SE Ventures & Partners: the expanding innovation ecosystem Across every booth, one theme kept coming up: AI isn’t just increasing demand, it’s redefining how energy must be produced, delivered, and managed, and Schneider Electric has solutions to meet this challenge head-on. The event deepened that narrative with concrete momentum: ✅the debut of an AI-enabled One Digital Grid Platform to help utilities modernize, stabilize, and manage rising energy costs; ✅new sustainability milestones such as UL ECOLOGO® certification for energy and industrial automation equipment; ✅and expanded advisory and asset-performance services designed to help organizations de-risk electrification, accelerate AI readiness, and advance grid-interactive operations. What stood out most to me walking the floor was how Schneider Electric and its partners are moving beyond efficiency as a goal, and treating intelligence as the new baseline for energy and industry. From autonomous operations to smart buildings to industrial software, you can see the next wave of digital infrastructure taking shape in real time. This is one of the most important transformations of our decade, and it’s happening faster than most realize. ⚡️ Learn more: se.com/us/en/ 🎥 Watch the Video ⬇️: #ad @SchneiderElec @SchneiderNA #schneiderelectric #SchneiderElectricInnovationSummit #ISNA2025 #InnovationSummitLasVegas #AI #EnergyTechLeaders

🔥🤖Why Does Sovereign #AI Determine Which Nations Lead the Future❓ 🎯AI is no longer “technology”, it is national infrastructure and a strategic power layer. Here is what the 6️⃣ Pillars of Sovereign AI truly mean⤵️ 1️⃣ Data Sovereignty ➜ Who shapes your model’s worldview ▪️Models trained on foreign data inherit foreign values and cultural logic 2️⃣ Model Architecture Sovereignty ➜ Whose reasoning patterns does your AI follow ▪️ Base models embed the creator’s logic, safety defaults & cognitive biases 3️⃣ Compute Sovereignty ➜ Who controls your ability to train ▪️ Without sovereign compute, nations cannot independently build or scale their models 4️⃣ Inference Sovereignty ➜ Where does your national data actually run ▪️ If sensitive workloads run on foreign clouds, they fall under foreign jurisdiction 5️⃣ Data Center Sovereignty ➜ Where does your AI physically live ▪️ Foreign-owned infrastructure means foreign leverage over critical systems, energy security 6️⃣ AI Economy Sovereignty ➜ Who captures the value ▪️ A nation can build strong models yet lose the economic upside if the value flows abroad 💡The truth is simple ➜ Countries aren’t racing toward Sovereign AI because it’s fashionable; they’re racing because it determines who shapes the future By Alex Issakova @enilev @Jagersbergknut @TysonLester @CurieuxExplorer @GlenGilmore @chidambara09 @jeancayeux @mvollmer1 @Nicochan33 @RLDI_Lamy @pierrepinna @pchamard @Analytics_699 @mikeflache @JeromeMONANGE @FrRonconi @Fabriziobustama @PawlowskiMario @theomitsa @drsharwood @kalydeoo @TAEVisionCEO @baski_LA @AnthonyRochand @smaksked @Eli_Krumova @andresvilarino @fernandolofrano @gvalan @bimedotcom @NewsNeus @domingonarvaez1 @thomas_dettling @kanezadiane @dinisguarda @FmFrancoise @nafisalam @Mhcommunicate @Corix_JC @jblefevre60 @smoothsale @amalmerzouk @PVynckier @bbailey39 @SiddharthKS @anand_narang @bamitav @Nitin_Author

Most people learn data engineering the hard way… by drowning in jargon they’ve never heard before. But here’s the truth no one tells you: Data engineering isn’t hard because of the tools, it’s hard because of the terminology. Once you understand the words, you finally understand the systems. And once you understand the systems, everything else becomes 10× easier. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you’re learning: 1. ETL vs ELT — Know the difference. ETL transforms before loading. ELT loads first, transforms later. Both shape how your pipeline performs. 2. Data Warehouse ≠ Data Lake. One is for structured analytics. The other stores raw, semi-structured everything. Know which one fits your use case. 3. Real-time vs Batch - choose the right processing model. Not every problem needs stream processing. Sometimes batch is faster, cheaper, and simpler. 4. Schema matters more than you think. Star schema, snowflake schema, table schema - these decide performance long before the query runs. 5. Distributed systems are the backbone. If your data isn't spread across nodes, your system won’t scale. 6. Governance isn’t optional. Catalogs, quality checks, lineage - these protect your data, your users, and your business. 7. Partitioning & Sharding are lifesavers. Large datasets die without them. Small datasets don’t need them. 8. Fault Tolerance & Scalability keep systems alive. Your pipeline should run even when things break. Your platform should grow without manual effort. If you’re in data engineering, analytics, AI, or backend - mastering these fundamentals will put you ahead of 90% of the industry. Because tools change. But foundations stay forever. Which concept do you think every beginner should learn first?

We process the world through all of our senses, not just text. Your AI shouldn't be stuck with just one. Humans don't process information in just one format - we digest information with photos, graphs, charts, and more to understand the world. Why should our AI systems be limited to text-only retrieval? Enter 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗔𝗚 - retrieval augmented generation that works across multiple modalities like images and text. In this new Free @DataCamp course with @_jphwang, you’ll learn exactly how to go from simple LLM calls to multi-modal RAG workflows with Weaviate. Sign up here: datacamp.com/courses/end-to-… 𝗦𝗼, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗔𝗚 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 These models understand multiple data types in a 𝘫𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 - meaning similar concepts cluster together regardless of whether they're images, text, audio, or video. 𝗔𝗻𝘆-𝘁𝗼-𝗔𝗻𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 Once modalities share an embedding space, you can search across them: • Use text queries to find relevant images • Search with audio to retrieve matching video clips • Find text descriptions from image inputs This is 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 in action - understanding relationships and context across different data types, just like humans do naturally. 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗔𝗚 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 Instead of just retrieving text documents, multimodal RAG retrieves relevant images, diagrams, charts, or videos to augment LLM responses. This enables: • Visual question answering systems • Richer context for generation • More comprehensive and accurate outputs 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲-𝗼𝗳𝗳𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿: • Requires aligned multimodal datasets (challenging to collect) • More complex model architectures than single-modality systems • Higher computational costs for training and inference 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲: Weaviate already integrates with multimodal embedding models from Cohere, Google, NVIDIA, Hugging Face, and more. This allows you to use embeddings in a joint space, enabling nearVector and nearImage searches across both modalities.
