This is now shipping Impulse Labs 4x the power output of a gas stove, ~5x the power output of an induction stove when it’s not in some time-restricted “boost” mode. Unlike every other stove, the knob gives you actual continuous control from 50-&gt;10,000 watts (vs. 10-20 steps)

so … we figured out how to make round-bottom woks work Impulse Labs (stove is unmodified) will share more on … how … soon.

weekend project: wringing out the last bit of latency on the UI.

the customer emails on a 36” model were RELENTLESS — so we caved.

when the team’s monomaniacal focus on latency and performance gets applied to … a stove

Eggs are now reliably nonstick on stainless steel with Impulse The reason this works is that we can hold the pan at the Leidenfrost effect temperature — the egg floats on steam. You’ll be able to do this at home in like 1-2 weeks, max (the build is going through QA).

Ok - here goes. We're Italymaxxing 🇮🇹. We're parting with B.S. Service Group to bring Impulse to Europe with local manufacturing in Fabriano, Italy. They're our third Impulse Core partner, joining THOR Kitchen and Zephyr 1/

since a bunch of people haven’t seen what active temperature control of the pan surface can do — cooking an egg with some commentary on Impulse Labs - butter doesn’t smoke - egg doesn’t stick - you only really need to keep track of the top of the egg’s appearance

may need to rename “power boil” to “ludicrous” or something

having a (rooted) impulse stove is insane because it’s like, you can literally have Claude code you a rice cooker that it then *runs*

Continuous-video agents (computer use, robotics, static scenes) burn compute re-ingesting pixels that didn't move. VLMaxxing teaches a frozen video VLM to skip the reruns. 54 fps perception on Gemma 4 26B, training-free, no accuracy drift. w/ JF Bastien (arXiv 2605.03351)

We’re cooking — and I genuinely think we made something super special Impulse Labs

So if you hold a pan at constant temperature &gt;&gt;212F but &lt;400ish, food doesn’t burn but WILL de-stick from stainless steel pans. Normally this requires skill, but not now. (also, the orange yolk eggs are mysteriously better)

Bunch of people asked how fast it is with a larger amount of water. This is 10 cups of tap-cold water — and it’s about 1:30 to rolling boil with Impulse Labs Other induction products are 8+ minutes — you need our power electronics stack to do this.

coming soon… 🔥 Combustion Inc.

more interesting test than an induction stove ... imo

this still seems underappreciated

Pretty excited for next week’s update Impulse. Now takes &lt;40s to preheat pans in temperature mode (with … less? overshoot) — you can basically assume that the pan is hot when you start cooking. Will share more soon… this took a ton of work to get right.

OK at popular request, I made Annie’s Mac and Cheese in *about* the minimum time possible, with a stove about 3-4x more powerful than other induction stoves. This also demonstrates how we can control temperature precisely, as that’s key to making the all-important cheese sauce.

james hong Nick Hollern Impulse small spoiler alert for what we can do (note: this is not final)

So we cracked how to get “wok hei” at home Impulse, thanks to erm … “advanced electromagnetic technology” (literally an aluminum ring that I guessed would work + our unique induction burner architecture) Will post the full video soon but —

cleaning Impulse Labs — since people asked. I just use a wet rag with soapy water and then a dry rag.

basically think we have solved surface temperature control for cooking — with generic pans It has no idea the water has boiled off until it overshoots, but keeps it within ~10 degrees
