Robot Utility Models (RUMs) enable basic tasks – door... opening, drawer opening, object reorientation, etc. – at ~90% accuracy without ANY finetuning (i.e. zero-shot) in unseen new environments. Fully open source!!! models, data, code & hw. We think this is super exciting, why?👇 1. Unlocks many practical home utility tasks that often involve these basic tasks as part of an action chain. “Go get me a fork” involves opening the kitchen door and then opening the cutlery drawer. 2. This works well **zero-shot in unseen and new** environments, which is practically a huge deal. Turn the robot on, and get going. 3. The recipe for building a new model is fairly generic, and we think with a bit more refinement this can be a general recipe to build many more Utility models. More details and access 👇show more

Most robots still need markers, checkerboards, or long calibration... rituals just to know where their arms are. Now it works from raw images in seconds. roboreg is a markerless multi arm localization toolkit that plugs into ROS 2 and RViz. No special hardware. No custom setup. You toggle between robot descriptions and the system figures out the rest. The idea is simple: ✅ Hand eye calibration from plain RGB or RGB D images ✅ Only three robot poses needed for millimeter accuracy ✅ Works with any ROS 2 compatible robot and camera ✅ Fully open source under Apache 2.0 It is powered by Hydra, a new marker free ICP variant that converges far more reliably than classical baselines and runs in under a second. If you want to try it: roboreg: ROS 2 roboreg: Hydra paper: pip install roboreg More details and discussion on Open Robotics Discourse:show more

Big moment for text-to-speech. Qwen just open-sourced a text-to-speech... model that lets you clone voices, design new ones, and control speech using natural language. Let me explain what I mean: You can literally tell it "speak in a cheerful tone with slight nervousness," and it actually does that. No complex audio engineering needed. What makes this special: - 3-second voice cloning - Covers 10 languages: English, German, French, and more - Latency as low as 97ms for real-time applications - Supports both streaming and non-streaming generation The model comes in two sizes (0.6B and 1.7B parameters), so you can pick based on your hardware and quality needs. Three modes to work with: 1. Custom Voice: Use pre-built premium voices with instruction-based style control 2. Voice Design: Describe the voice you want in plain English (or Chinese), and the model creates it 3. Voice Clone: Provide a 3-second reference audio and clone that voice The best part? It integrates with vLLM for production deployment and has a simple Python package you can pip install. I've shared a link to the GitHub repo in the next tweet.show more

Already at 1.9M downloads on Hugging Face and most people have no idea it exists yet. 100% open source.show more

Nookplot is building infrastructure for peer-to-peer training, one way... with verifiable AI reasoning through recursive language model mining. Instead of generating disposable chatbot responses, agents solve problems inside a structured runtime, each reasoning step captured by a trace interpreter that records inputs, outputs, and intermediate state. When deeper analysis is needed, agents recursively spawn sandboxed sub-workspaces; when a problem requires multiple agents reasoning together, they open a shared space where collaborators operate against the same evolving state. Every step is recorded, replayable, and cryptographically verified. Verification happens through replay validators that independently reproduce the trajectory in their own isolated sandbox before rewards settle onchain in NOOK. Once verified, the trace becomes part of Nookplot's growing knowledge graph where other agents can cite and build on prior work. Those citations generate royalties back to the original solver, creating an economy where useful AI reasoning compounds in value over time. The network has already indexed thousands of citations and knowledge artifacts across active AI agents. Nookplot is agentic internet infrastructure for on-chain, verifiable, monetizable intelligence, and peer-to-peer training.show more

🦿Xpeng showed a humanoid robot called IRON whose movement... looked so human that the team literally cut it open on stage to prove it is a machine. IRON uses a bionic body with a flexible spine, synthetic muscles, and soft skin so joints and torso can twist smoothly like a person. The system has 82 degrees of freedom in total with 22 in each hand for fine finger control. Compute runs on 3 custom AI chips rated at 2,250 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second), which is far above typical laptop neural accelerators, so it can handle vision and motion planning on the robot. The AI stack focuses on turning camera input directly into body movement without routing through text, which reduces lag and makes the gait look natural. Xpeng staged the cut-open demo at AI Day in Guangzhou this week, addressing rumors that a performer was inside by exposing internal actuators, wiring, and cooling. Company materials also mention a large physical-world model and a multi-brain control setup for dialogue, perception, and locomotion, hinting at a path from stage demos to service work. Production is targeted for 2026, so near-term tasks will be limited, but the hardware shows a serious step toward human-scale manipulation.show more

CHINA JUST KILLED THE OCR BUSINESS. A 3B-parameter model... the size of a peanut can read an entire 100-page PDF in one shot. No page splitting. No context loss. No cloud bill. Meet Unlimited-OCR 👇 • Reads full documents with a 32K context window • 93% on standard OCR parsing benchmarks (+6 over baseline) • Error rate stays below 0.11 even after 40+ pages • Multilingual out of the box • Runs 100% locally on your hardware • Supports Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, Docker, Ollama & llama.cpp Here's the crazy part: Most OCR tools still process documents one page at a time. Unlimited-OCR reads the entire document as a single context, preserving tables, references, layouts, and cross-page relationships. That changes everything. Meanwhile companies are paying: • $1.50–$15 per 1,000 pages • Sending sensitive PDFs to cloud providers • Waiting for API responses This model does it offline. For free. Forever. Built by Baidu to push beyond DeepSeek-OCR. Already 1.9M+ downloads on Hugging Face... ...and almost nobody is talking about it yet. Open source is moving faster than most enterprise software.show more

A Closer Look at Alchemist AI v3.5🔎 In v1,... one agent handled everything. You’d enter a prompt like “make a snake game” and get a single block of code—one input, one output. v2 introduced multiple agents with specialized roles: prompt refinement, frontend, backend, and review. It brought more structure, but the process was still linear. Each step produced a single output. With v3, a single agent could handle multiple tasks. It generated HTML, CSS, JavaScript, searched for assets, and more—all in one go, while maintaining full context. Now in v3.5, we combine both models. Multiple agents work in parallel, each capable of producing multiple outputs at once. The prompt compiler adapts based on what you're building. A 3D game? It prioritizes game engines, rendering, and mechanics. A website or 2D app? It shifts focus to relevant frameworks and tools. The tool handler can call several services simultaneously, feeding context-aware data into the code generator for real-time execution. From single-output generation to parallel, adaptive workflows. In the next breakdown, we’ll dive into the architecture behind our proprietary engine in v3.5.show more

OpenAI's AgentKit will be so insane, build every step... of agents on one platform. These visual agent builders make the whole process of iterating and launching agents far more efficient. It sits on top of the Responses API and unifies the tools that were previously scattered across SDKs and custom orchestration. It lets developers create agent workflows visually, connect data sources securely, and measure performance automatically without coding every layer by hand. The core of AgentKit is the Agent Builder, a drag-and-drop canvas where each node represents an action, guardrail, or decision branch. Developers can link these nodes into multi-agent workflows, preview results instantly, and version each setup. It supports inline evaluation so that developers can see how changes affect output before deploying. The Connector Registry is a single admin panel that manages how data and tools connect across the OpenAI ecosystem. It centralizes integrations like Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, and Microsoft Teams. Large organizations can govern access and flow of data between agents securely under one global console. ChatKit provides a ready-to-use chat interface for embedding agents inside apps or websites. It manages streaming, message threads, and model reasoning displays automatically. Developers can skin the interface to match their product without writing custom front-end code. Under the hood, all these blocks use the same execution core that runs agent reasoning through OpenAI’s APIs. Workflows in Agent Builder compile down to structured instructions for the Responses API, which handles model calls, tool use, and context passing. Connector Registry handles authentication and routing for external tools, while Evals and RFT provide feedback loops that improve agents over time. This integration means developers no longer need to handle orchestration logic, model evaluation pipelines, or safety layers separately. Everything runs natively within OpenAI’s control plane with managed security, automatic versioning, and built-in testing. In short, AgentKit standardizes the entire life cycle of an AI agent—from visual design to deployment and performance tuning—inside a single unified system.show more

I learned this the hard way: do NOT use... SwiftUI if you want your app to look and feel amazing. At least when coding with AI. (sorry, Apple colleagues reading this 😅) I'm sharing my process vibe coding this calorie tracker. I get a lot of questions about the fluid transition in the video. Here's the whole story. Initially, Claude built the grid with SwiftUI. It was quick and easy, and looked good! But the transition to the day view was a boring navigation push/pop. No fun. I wanted something custom. I asked Claude to make it a fluid transition that remaps the food tiles from their source to destination positions. All hell broke loose. Claude tried a bunch of horrible things. Initially it used matched geometry effects, which worked OK but didn't lend themselves well to gesture-driven animations. So it resorted to SwiftUI preference keys + geometry readers to figure out the source and destination positions and calculate the interpolated position based on gesture progress, coordinating across grid and day views. But this meant it had to write a custom layout because it couldn't reposition tiles inside the native SwiftUI grid. And it had to do an awkward handoff between views, which always created ugly pops or jumps. And don't get me started on trying to put it on a bouncy spring, that only made the math 10x buggier. Fortunately, Claude Fable was smart enough to see that this was becoming a disaster (and discover most of the issues itself, in the simulator), so it pivoted away from SwiftUI. Opus might not be so wise, so you'll have to pay attention and intervene. Ultimately, it rewrote it in plain UIKit and everything turned out great. After that, we moved from 2D images to 3D assets, which introduced a new set of performance challenges and yet another rewrite to a single Metal layer, which is what you see below. I can write more about the 2D-to-3D saga if anyone's interested. If I were to do it again, I'd just say "Don't use SwiftUI" from the very first prompt, and save a few hours of headaches. SwiftUI can be amazing for a human iterating directly in code. But agents don't benefit from any of its advantages. Plus, agents have seen decades of UIKit training data, so they're great at writing it, and it's far more flexible. Here's hoping we see more agent-friendly iterations of SwiftUI in the future. Till then, I'm probably going to avoid it.show more

Fable 5 comes back！It can now build playable game... prototypes. I think it is actually a signal for where AI coding is going. Making a game is not just “write some code.” Even a small browser game needs: game loop；character movement；collision logic；scoring system；UI states；physics tuning；visual feedback；bug fixing；playtesting This is why game prototyping is a great test for AI models. A model cannot fake it with a pretty answer. Either the game runs, or it does not. What impressed me about Fable 5 is that it is useful for the messy middle: turning an idea into mechanics, turning mechanics into code, debugging broken interactions, and iterating until the prototype feels playable. But here is the practical part: I would not use the strongest model for every step. For game building, I would split the workflow: 1. Fable 5 for game design + architecture 2. a fast coding model for routine implementation 3. a vision-capable model for screenshot/UI feedback 4. a cheaper model for docs, test cases, and small fixes 5. fallback when latency, cost, or output quality becomes a problem That is the real AI coding stack. Not “one magic model does everything.” More like: the right model, for the right task, at the right cost, with fallback when things break. This is why I’ve been looking at ZenMux ZenMux. ZenMux gives developers one gateway to access multiple leading AI models, with OpenAI / Anthropic / Google Vertex compatible APIs, cost tracking, quality benchmarks, auto-routing, and compensation when output quality, latency, or throughput falls short. If AI can now make games, the next question is not just “which model is strongest?” It is:how do we manage the whole model workflow Fable 5 shows the creative ceiling. ZenMux is closer to the infrastructure layer you need when AI coding becomes a real production habit.show more

We are entering an extremely exciting era for open-weight... models. Kimi K2.6 now feels like a top agentic model. I took it for a spin via Fireworks AI fast inference APIs. Kimi K2.6 has impressive agentic capabilities, design skills, and the ability to synthesize large amounts of information. I built a little Skill that produces survey papers on any AI research topic you want. (see example in the clip) You can use the skill to tell your agent to generate a survey on whatever topic and watch it go to work. The artifact was fully generated by Kimi.ai's Kimi K2.6. It's cheap and fast. Next step for me is to explore ways to continue integrating the capabilities of these models on use cases like automating my LLM knowledge bases and augmenting my agent memory capabilities. Stay tuned for more.show more
