Once again Zipline is showing that bleeding-edge tech doesn’t have to start as toys for rich people.

Autonomous logistics is a game-changer for elderly communities that aren't as mobile and often can't access the same services as the rest of us. Grandma is living in the future!🧓🚀

We are 3×-ing our scale in Africa to save an additional 50,000 lives each year.
What did you get done this week?
Big news: Zipline plans to triple our life-saving drone delivery network in Africa with $150 Million from the U.S. State Department, that will be matched more than double by our country partners

1/ The future of general-purpose robotics will be decided by one major question: which flavor of data scales reasoning? Every major lab represents a different bet.
Over the past 3 months, @adam_patni, @vriishin, and I read the core research papers, spoke with staff at the major labs, and mapped the talent pool. This has completely changed how we think about general-purpose robotics.
Our paper builds intuition, step-by step, across the 2025 frontier: from architectures → evals → data → industry dynamics. Each layer reveals a different bottleneck, but they all converge on one truth—data decides everything.
Our takeaways process below👇

Very excited to see the XB-1 getting close :)

Yesterday, XB-1 set a new top ground speed of 123kts (141mph)… the third high-speed taxi in 48 hours. These tests are now starting to look more like flight, with a T-38 chase aircraft airborne! 1/

Insanely fun video from @MarkRober showing video of the new @zipline Platform 2 precision instant delivery system. The system all together is really jaw dropping imo.

Thanks @PeregrineBadger and @fiftyyears for hosting me on the Speed podcast! A ton of fun going through @CobaltRobotics's early days and how we brought a hardware product to market incredibly fast!
