🇨🇳🇹🇼 BREAKING | China has announced the launch of... a special naval operation against Taiwan 🟦 The operation simultaneously involves several maritime agencies, navigation, and rescue services. ▪️ “The purpose of the operation is to comprehensively exercise China’s jurisdiction in the field of maritime administrative law enforcement, strengthen the capabilities for patrolling the open sea and maintaining order, control movement in key waters, ensure the safety of maritime transport, and protect national interests,” — the publication quotes the statement of the Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China. This announcement signals a significant escalation of Chinese pressure on Taiwan. Framing it as a “special naval operation” for law enforcement and jurisdiction allows Beijing to increase military activity around the island without formally declaring a blockade, while testing international reactions and Taiwan’s response. The involvement of multiple agencies suggests a coordinated, large-scale effort. Video is generated by grok AIshow more

❗️🇺🇦🇸🇪As battlefield transparency forces a radical rethink of tactical... mobility, defense technology clusters are exploring lightweight, high-agility aerial platforms to move personnel and assets under the radar of dense enemy surveillance. 🇺🇦 "Ukraine is considering the use of hoverbikes and motorcycles for military purposes," stated Andriy Hrytsenyuk, head of the Ukrainian technology cluster Brave1. 🔻 For this purpose, the development of domestic projects is being considered. Such vehicles can provide rapid deployment of personnel to positions, evacuation of the wounded, fulfillment of logistical tasks, and participation in Special Operations Forces missions. 🔻 According to the head of Brave1, using conventional armored vehicles for such tasks on the current Ukrainian battlefield makes them too conspicuous and attracts enemy attention. At the same time, remote control principles can be integrated into these lightweight platforms. 🔻 One such flying vehicle is the Jetson ONE, a piloted single-seat multicopter created by the Swedish company Jetson (as seen in the demonstration video). Mastering the controls of this aircraft is straightforward and requires no specialized pilot skills. Video is generated by Grok AIshow more

🇺🇦🎯 Intense and massive strikes using medium-range kamikaze drones... have completely paralyzed the Russian land corridor passing through the occupied southern regions of Ukraine. ▪️ Ukraine’s medium-range strike campaign has effectively become an operation to isolate the battlefield, which is already severely disrupting Russian logistics in southern Ukraine. On May 21, the head of the occupation administration of Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, signed a decree banning the movement of civilian cargo vehicles on certain sections of the R-280 “Novorossiya” highway (occupiers renamed it M-14 Mariupol – Berdiansk – Melitopol – Henichesk highway). ▪️ The M-14 is the main artery connecting Russia with occupied Crimea. The ban on civilian traffic is, in fact, an admission that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have the land corridor under fire control. Permissions are now issued only for military transport and essential goods, which further emphasizes the scale of the problem. ▪️ The consequences are already being felt in Crimea. Due to the systematic destruction of fuel tankers, there is a fuel shortage on the peninsula. Gas stations have introduced limits — 20 liters per person. Civilian infrastructure in the rear is suffering from fuel shortages while resources are prioritized for the front line. ▪️ Geolocation footage from recent days confirms the reason for these decisions: Ukrainian forces are destroying Russian military cargo trucks on both the M-14 and the N-20 Mariupol – Donetsk highways. 🇷🇺 Russian military bloggers (“voenkors”) have already criticized this decision. Previously, Russian military convoys hid among civilian trucks and used them as human shields against Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance. ▪️ Now everything has changed. An empty M-14 highway means that any large truck is automatically considered a military target, as they carry either ammunition, fuel, or personnel. The task has become extremely simplified for drone operators and artillery. ▪️ This is a classic asymmetric war of attrition. Strikes within a 150-kilometer radius from the front line are forcing the Russians to make losing decisions. ▪️ To reduce losses from Ukrainian AI-equipped drones, Russia will have to abandon large fuel tankers and truck convoys. Switching to small, dispersed transport groups will significantly slow down ammunition delivery to the front line and dramatically increase logistics costs. Redirecting civilian cargo to secondary roads will create traffic jams, limiting the maneuverability of Russian reserves if the situation on the front changes. The shortage of fuel and ammunition, which are being destroyed en route, is already slowing down Russian offensives. While the Russian command tries to reorganize its supply tactics, the key arteries of their southern grouping continue to burn. Video is generated by grok AIshow more

What if you kept asking an LLM to "make... it better"? In some recent work at FAIR, we investigate how we can efficiently use RL to fine-tune LLMs to iteratively self-improve on their previous solutions at inference-time. Training for iterated self-improvement can be costly. The naive approach to training for K self-improvement steps leads to K times the number of rollout steps per episode. We introduce Exploratory Iteration (ExIt), an RL-based automatic curriculum method that bootstraps diverse training distributions of self-improvement tasks by upcycling the LLM's own responses at previous turns as the starting points for both self-improvement and *self-divergence.* In order to decide what task to train on next, the curriculum prioritizes sampling of partial turn histories that led to higher return variance in its GRPO group (a learnability score that comes for free). This automatic curriculum over the bootstrapped task space teaches the model how to perform iterated self-improvement while only ever training the model on single-step self-improvement tasks. We look at ExIt's impact in both single-turn (contest math problems) and multi-turn (BFCLv3 multi-turn tasks), as well as MLE-bench, where the LLM is run in a search scaffold to produce solutions to real Kaggle competitions. Across these eval settings, we find ExIt produces models with greater capacity for inference-time self-improvement compared to GRPO. Notably, ExIt models can self-improve on test tasks for many more steps than the typical solution depth encountered during training, including a 22% improvement in MLE-bench performance compared to GRPO.show more

China publicly demonstrated its truck-mounted electromagnetic aircraft launch system... (EMALS) for the first time, successfully launching a drone from a modular catapult built from multiple linked trucks. Three or more trucks connect to form a catapult that can be rapidly assembled and moved. The catapult is part of a broader family of containerized military systems—including missiles, radars, electronic warfare, and command centers—that can be deployed from ships or land. It is designed to launch drones where runways don’t exist, such as islands, remote areas, or civilian ships converted into drone carriers. Chinese sources reportedly aim to produce 2,000 containerized systems annually. Source: KAROTASU, TWZshow more

🇷🇺 Russian occupiers report that Ukraine has sharply increased... the use of the medium-range loitering munition “Trust” (as they call it). 🔻 There is no official information or confirmation about this system from Ukrainian sources, and its real designation remains unknown. According to the occupiers, it is mainly used to destroy transport vehicles on logistical routes. 🔻 The Trust is an aircraft-type drone with a very simple design, optimized for mass production. It has a tubular fiberglass body, an internal combustion engine, and carries a 12 kg warhead, which can be either high-explosive fragmentation or thermobaric. This drone appears to be another cost-effective and efficient Ukrainian development focused on deep strikes against Russian logistics. Its simplicity and mass-production potential make it particularly dangerous for Russian supply lines in the rear. Video is generated by grok AIshow more

Do you think NATO can catch up to Russian anti-drone technology?show more

Ukraine’s drone forces have pulled off something genuinely significant... at Donetsk Airport. The 14th Regiment of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces has established what they call “fire control” over the Russian-held facility, destroying launch pads, vehicles, and supply depots in a sustained campaign that has rendered the airport effectively unusable. The target was not chosen at random. Russia had transformed the airport into a dual-purpose military asset: a launch site for Shahed-type attack drones and a logistics hub feeding front-line operations in the Donetsk region. Taking it out of commission disrupts both functions simultaneously. What makes this operation notable is its place within a larger strategic framework. Ukraine is pursuing what the BBC describes as a “logistics lockdown” strategy, using AI-guided drones to systematically dismantle Russian supply infrastructure behind the front lines rather than concentrating solely on direct battlefield engagements. The logic is straightforward: an army that cannot resupply cannot sustain offensive pressure. Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces described this as the first operation of its kind in modern military history, a claim that reflects how novel drone-on-infrastructure warfare at this scale and precision actually is. Ukraine is increasingly using autonomous, and AI-assisted drones not just to harass but to degrade Russian operational capacity at depth.show more

🇺🇦 Ukraine has unleashed a terrifying new weapon into... its long-range arsenal, debuting a versatile, homegrown drone that puts Russian military hubs within a massive 600-kilometer strike zone.

Boom! Grok Tasks Make It One Of The Most... POWERFUL Real-Time AI Systems In The World. — My How to Use Grok Tasks With Hidden Tools For Powerful Daily Output. Grok Tasks are customizable AI workflows that integrate a variety of tools to streamline daily activities, from research and analysis to creative planning and problem-solving. I have been using them for quite sometime and because of the vital heartbeat of news and first person data on X, it is the most powerful AI platform available. By combining Tasks with tools like web searches, X platform interactions, code execution, and media viewers, you can build efficient, automated processes. These tasks work by prompting Grok with a clear description of what you want to achieve, and Grok will intelligently call the necessary tools in sequence or parallel to deliver results. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating and using Grok Tasks: Step 1: Define Your Task Start by clearly outlining the daily activity or goal. Consider what inputs you have (e.g., a URL, a query, or an attachment) and what output you need (e.g., a summary, calculation, or visual analysis). Break it down into subtasks to identify tool needs. For example, if your task involves researching current events, note that you'll need search and browsing capabilities. Step 2: Review Available Tools Familiarize yourself with the tools Grok can access. Here's a quick overview: - Code Execution: Run Python code for calculations, data processing, or simulations using libraries like numpy, pandas, or sympy. - Browse Page: Fetch and summarize content from any website URL with custom instructions. - Web Search: Perform general internet searches, returning results with optional operators like site:. - Web Search With Snippets: Get quick, detailed excerpts from search results for fact-checking. - X Keyword Search: Advanced search for X posts using operators like from:, since:, or filter:. - X Semantic Search: Find semantically related X posts based on a query, with filters for dates or users. - X User Search: Locate X users by name or handle. - X Thread Fetch: Retrieve a full X post thread, including context like replies and parents. - View Image: Analyze an image from a URL or conversation ID. - View X Video: Extract frames and subtitles from an X-hosted video. - Search PDF Attachment: Query a PDF file for relevant pages using keyword or regex modes. - Browse PDF Attachment: View specific pages of a PDF with text and screenshots. Select tools that align with your task. Aim for a mix to handle data gathering, processing, and visualization. Step 3: Craft Your Prompt Write a detailed prompt to Grok describing the task. Include: - The overall goal. - Specific steps or subtasks. - References to tools if you want to guide the process (e.g., "Use web_search to find sources, then code_execution to analyze data"). - Any constraints, like dates or limits. Example prompt: "Create a Grok Task for my morning routine: Search recent X posts about tech news using x_keyword_search, fetch a key thread with x_thread_fetch, and summarize with browse_page on linked articles." Step 4: Submit and Interact Send your prompt to Grok. It will process the task by calling tools as needed, often in parallel for efficiency. Review the output and refine with follow-up prompts if required (e.g., "Expand on that using view_image for visuals"). Iterate to fine-tune the workflow for reuse. Step 5: Save and Reuse Once refined, note the prompt as a template for future use. You can adapt it for similar tasks, making Grok Tasks a habitual part of your day. Finding Grok Tasks To discover existing Grok Tasks or inspiration for new ones, use X searches with tools like x_keyword_search or x_semantic_search (e.g., query: "Grok Tasks examples" with mode: Latest).

❗️❗️❗️ Chaos is unfolding with Russian army logistics in... the rear, 120–150 km behind the front line 🇺🇦🇷🇺 After the Russians heavily restricted civilian traffic on the Crimea–Mariupol–Donetsk logistical roads and allowed only military cargo to move, the task has become much easier for Ukrainian operators. Medium-range kamikaze drones are now successfully destroying Russian military transport vehicles deep in the rear. 🎯 The strikes are relentless, as Ukrainian medium-range loitering munitions (kamikaze drones) can patrol, loiter for several hours near the routes, and search for targets — which has dramatically increased the effectiveness of their attacks. Key excerpts from the influential Russian military propaganda channel “Rybar”: 📌 “The logistics of the Russian Armed Forces in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions is completely paralyzed.” 📌 “The situation for Russian forces in the southern sectors of the front is becoming increasingly threatening. Since the beginning of May, Ukrainian formations have significantly increased the number of drone strikes on vehicles transporting various cargoes in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as in Crimea. There is now a risk of shortages of certain goods on the peninsula, and fuel is being sold with restrictions.” 📌 “In the Kamyanske district, the enemy has been attacking for a long time and has managed to advance in several areas, pushing back Russian troops. Stepnohirsk and Plavni have been almost lost, along with practically all the territorial gains the Russian Armed Forces achieved during the offensive launched at the beginning of 2025.” ➡️ “There is a risk that the enemy will not only restore the status quo, but will itself go on the offensive along the Kamyanske–Shcherbaky line.” 🔷 “It is impossible to allow the loss of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: even driving out small enemy groups from there would be an extremely difficult task. Moreover, the Russian Armed Forces would be severely limited in their means of destruction, since the Zaporizhzhia NPP is not an object that should be subjected to air strikes.” Summary by Rybar: The negative scenario is that if Ukrainian forces manage to break through Russian defenses in the Kamyanske–Shcherbaky area, Russia will have to transfer reserves toward Vasylivka, while the roads leading there are already under frequent enemy strikes. In the worst-case development, stabilizing the situation would require moving additional forces through Tokmak, Berdiansk, and Mariupol — routes where even civilian cargo delivery is already seriously disrupted.

Researchers at Columbia University have developed modular robots that... can adapt, repair, and even rebuild themselves using a concept called robot metabolism. 🤖 Instead of remaining fixed, these robots can detach, reconnect, and reorganize their own structure based on the task or environment. If one part is damaged, the system can replace or rearrange itself rather than stopping completely. This could reshape the future of disaster response, industrial automation, and even space exploration. The idea of robots that evolve instead of wear out is becoming more than science fiction. What real-world application do you think will benefit most from this technology? 🎥 Media: Columbia University ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

‼️‼️🇹🇼 🇨🇳 BIG | Taiwan has successfully concluded a... large-scale crisis management drill designed around a highly complex, multi-layered threat environment. The simulation tested the island's preparedness against a "worst-case scenario" involving a simultaneous Chinese naval blockade and full-scale military invasion, compounded by a major earthquake, domestic sabotage, widespread disinformation campaigns, and civil unrest. Held in Nantou County, the exercise brought together over 370 military and government officials to evaluate cross-sector operations. Key focus areas included civil-military coordination, the activation of backup command systems, food rationing protocols, counter-drone defense strategies, and emergency responses to cyberattacks on public broadcasts and critical infrastructure. The Reality of Hybrid Warfare This comprehensive drill underscores Taiwan’s realistic and forward-looking assessment of modern hybrid warfare. National security is no longer confined solely to conventional frontline combat; today, informational resilience and civilian readiness are just as critical as military hardware. By integrating a natural disaster (an earthquake) with foreign military aggression into a single training model, Taiwanese planners demonstrated a clear intent to prepare for compound crises where an adversary might exploit vulnerabilities during an ongoing domestic emergency. Ultimately, these exercises do more than just refine operational readiness—they serve as a potent strategic signal to potential aggressors, demonstrating that the island is systematically preparing for every facet of a coordinated assault.
