It's easy for robots to nail a demo. It's much harder to get them to work reliably in the real world. The bottleneck is data. At Axis Robotics we're building a compounding data engine that combines simulation, ego-centric data and DAgger correction data at scale. Watch our CEO ChrisF(✱,✱) break down the data bottleneck, why messy data can still train good models, and what it takes to get robots out of the lab with blocmates. ⬇️

Scale alone is not enough for AI data. Quality and complexity are equally critical. Excited to support all of these for LLM developers with Snorkel AI Data-as-a-Service, and to share our new leaderboard! — Our decade-plus of research and work in AI data has a simple point: scale alone is not enough. AI success is all about the quality, complexity, and distribution of data—in addition to volume. We’re excited to be powering leading LLM developers with Snorkel AI Expert Data-as-a-Service, our white glove service for custom, expert-level AI datasets—and to now preview some of what we’re building via our new Expert Data Leaderboard (🔗 in 🧵) + upcoming OSS dataset releases! Snorkel Expert Data-as-a-Service is built to meet the rapidly evolving data needs of the agentic AI world—where success is built on the quality, complexity, and distribution of datasets, in addition to size and scale. This kind of high-quality, frontier AI data can only come from a union of technology and human expertise. With Snorkel Expert Data-as-a-Service, we’re powering frontier LLM developers across agentic, expert knowledge, reasoning, coding, multi-modal, and other task types via the combination of these two key components: - (1) The Snorkel Expert Network: A global team of subject matter experts focused wholly on specialized knowledge–spanning thousands of topics in STEM/academic, vertical/professional, and consumer/lifestyle domains. - (2) Snorkel AI Data Development Platform: Our unique programmatic data curation and quality control platform, accelerating and improving expert authoring and review through principled techniques developed over the last decade of R&D. Now: we’re incredibly excited to showcase some of the power of Snorkel Expert Data-as-a-Service via the new Snorkel Leaderboard—putting frontier models to the test in complex, agentic, and reasoning settings inspired by real industry scenarios (not esoteric puzzles)! We’ll be releasing new leaderboards and accompanying expert-verified open source datasets (coming soon!) regularly. To start, we’re sharing three initial ones in preview: - SnorkelFinance: Q&A over financial documents requiring agentic tool-calling and reasoning - SnorkelUnderwrite: Agentic insurance tasks requiring industry-specific reasoning and tool use - SnorkelSequences: Mathematical tasks requiring compositional multi-step reasoning

When data agents fail, they often fail silently - giving confident-sounding answers that are wrong, and it can be hard to figure out what caused the failure. "Building and Evaluating Data Agents" is a new short course created with Snowflake and taught by Anupam Datta and Josh Reini that teaches you to build data agents with comprehensive evaluation built in. Skills you'll gain: - Build reliable LLM data agents using the Goal-Plan-Action framework and runtime evaluations that catch failures mid-execution - Use OpenTelemetry tracing and evaluation infrastructure to diagnose exactly where agents fail and systematically improve performance - Orchestrate multi-step workflows across web search, SQL, and document retrieval in LangGraph-based agents The result: visibility into every step of your agent's reasoning, so if something breaks, you have a systematic approach to fix it.

Watch Spot crouch, jump, climb boxes and leap across gaps, controlled by a neural network trained with reinforcement learning (RL) and multi-expert distillation. Multiple expert policies were trained and distilled together into a single policy that was fine tuned to improve performance over diverse terrains. This work was inspired by ANYmal’s parkour capabilities. The neural network processes depth data from Spot's sensors to construct an understanding of the environment.

The biggest marketplace on Earth won't be the assets humans own. It'll be the data AI needs. Everything that can be digitised is getting pulled in to train the next models. Every scientific dataset, every piece of research sitting in a university, every sensor reading off every John Deere tractor in a field. All of it feeds the machine, and almost none of it is visible to us. What comes out is an agentic economy running at machine speed. You plug your data into a vault, and agents monetise it on your behalf, trading with other agents in real time, in a marketplace we never see. The company sitting on proprietary data becomes part of it without even knowing. This is what the Economic Singularity actually looks like from the inside. The real economy stops being the one we can see and price, and moves somewhere we can't follow. You own a piece of it, or you get priced out of it. Jordi Visser.

So excited to launch Autograph today. We raised $2.1M from elite operators, founders, and investors to build a platform that feels like God Mode for Operators. It's a single platform that integrates with existing systems — the alphabet soup of enterprise software, like your HRIS, ERP, FP&A, ATS, CRM, along with data warehouses and spreadsheets — to combine, clean, and make sense of your data. This data feeds a series of pre-built apps and agents that allow you to level up as an operator: run your complex, multi-functional workflows 10x better. We're solving the processes that takes forever and is really frustrating, but is essential to operating and scaling effectively: our first few apps are headcount planning, compensation reviews, and sales capacity. We're moving insanely fast. We're shipping a new app every couple of weeks. Soon, we'll have hiring pipelines, vendor analytics, resource allocation, unit economics, CX capacity, people analytics, and more. The best part? It's incredibly fast to set up thanks to our powerful agentic data engine, that processes any data source like magic. That means no long implementations, no multi-year contracts. We think it's the biggest leap forward for operators since the spreadsheet. Book an 20-minute onboarding to get started!

It’s long been a dream of roboticists to be able to teach a robot in simulation so as to skip the long and expensive process of collecting large amounts of real-world training data. However, building simulations for robot tasks is extremely hard. Ideally, we could go from real data to a useful simulation. This is exactly what Guangqi Jiang and his co-authors do. they use 3d Gaussian splatting to reconstructed scenes which let them create interactive environments that, when combined with a physcs engine, allow for training robot policies that show zero-shot sim-to-real transfer (i.e., using no real-world demonstrations). To learn more, watch Episode 56 of Robopapers with Michael Cho - Rbt/Acc and Chris Paxton now!

A new 30-minute presentation from Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s VP of AI, has been released, where he talks about FSD, AI and the team’s latest progress. Highlight from the presentation: • Tesla's vehicle fleet can provide 500 years of driving data every single day. Curse of Dimensionality: • 8 cameras at high frame rate = billions of tokens per 30 seconds of driving context. • Tesla must compress and extract the right correlations between sensory input and control actions. Data Advantage: • Tesla has access to a “Niagara Falls of data” — hundreds of years’ worth of collective fleet driving. • Uses smart data triggers to capture rare corner cases (e.g., complex intersections, unpredictable behavior). Quality and Efficiency: • Extracts only the essential data needed to train models efficiently. Debugging and Interpretability: • Even though the system is end-to-end, Tesla can still prompt the model to output interpretable data: 3D occupancy, road boundaries, objects, signs, traffic lights, etc. • Natural language querying: ask the model why it made a certain decision. • These auxiliary predictions don’t drive the car but help engineers debug and ensure safety. Tesla’s Advanced Gaussian Splatting (3D Scene Modeling): • Tesla developed a custom, ultra-fast Gaussian splatting system to reconstruct 3D scenes from limited camera views. • Produces crisp, accurate 3D renderings even from few camera angles — far better than standard NeRF/splatting approaches. • Enables rapid visual debugging of the driving environment in 3D. Evaluation & World Models: • Evaluation is the hardest challenge: models may perform well offline but fail in real-world conditions. • Tesla builds balanced, diverse evaluation datasets focusing on edge cases — not just easy highway driving. Introduced a learned world simulator (neural network-generated video engine): • Can simulate 8 Tesla camera feeds simultaneously — fully synthetic. • Used for testing, training, and reinforcement learning. • Allows adversarial event injection (e.g., adding a pedestrian or vehicle cutting in). • Enables replaying past failures to verify new model improvements. • Can run in near real-time, letting testers “drive” inside a simulated world. What’s Next: • Scale robotaxi service globally. • Unlock full autonomy across the entire Tesla fleet. • Cybercab: next-gen 2-seat vehicle designed specifically for robotaxi use, targeting lowest transportation cost (cheaper than public transit). • Same neural networks will power Optimus humanoid robot. • The same video generation system is now being applied to Optimus. • The system can simulate and plan movement for robots, adapting easily to new forms. via the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV).

Most people think Rerun is a visualization tool. In reality, it's a database masquerading as a visualizer. I wanted to showcase this functionality by building a full data pipeline consisting of: ingestion → baseline method → eval → finetuning for SLAM on egocentric data. I'll eventually extend this to the rest of my ego/exo datasets, but I wanted to start with a smaller bunch of datasets first. Rerun allows you to expose your saved .rrd files to a catalog where you store datasets. You can query, filter, and join them like any database using DataFusion under the hood. These are the same .rrd files that are automatically generated whenever you visualize anything in Rerun and decide to save it to disk. I brought in 109 VSLAM-LAB sequences across 14 datasets into the Rerun catalog as an example. These include 7Scenes, Euroc, eth3d, and others. Now I can query them with segment_table, filter_segments, and filter_contents instead of parsing CSVs and YAML files. With a strong set of ground-truth datasets for SLAM, baseline additions become nearly automatic with agents like Opus/Codex. This unification of data and visualization is imo the largest missing part for Physical AI. Visualization becomes a natural byproduct of having your data properly structured and queryable. The catalog API is what makes it a database, not just a viewer. I initially focused on VSLAM-LAB data, but I'll migrate all the egoexo data to this format in the coming days to really show just how useful this is.

Most people think Rerun is a visualization tool. In reality, it's a database masquerading as a visualizer. I wanted to showcase this functionality by building a full data pipeline consisting of: ingestion → baseline method → eval → finetuning for SLAM on egocentric data. I'll eventually extend this to the rest of my ego/exo datasets, but I wanted to start with a smaller bunch of datasets first. Rerun allows you to expose your saved .rrd files to a catalog where you store datasets. You can query, filter, and join them like any database using DataFusion under the hood. These are the same .rrd files that are automatically generated whenever you visualize anything in Rerun and decide to save it to disk. I brought in 109 VSLAM-LAB sequences across 14 datasets into the Rerun catalog as an example. These include 7Scenes, Euroc, eth3d, and others. Now I can query them with segment_table, filter_segments, and filter_contents instead of parsing CSVs and YAML files. With a strong set of ground-truth datasets for SLAM, baseline additions become nearly automatic with agents like Opus/Codex. This unification of data and visualization is imo the largest missing part for Physical AI. Visualization becomes a natural byproduct of having your data properly structured and queryable. The catalog API is what makes it a database, not just a viewer. I initially focused on VSLAM-LAB data, but I'll migrate all the egoexo data to this format in the coming days to really show just how useful this is.

A new roadmap. A New Era of The Graph 🗺️ The Graph’s new roadmap introduces a bold and transformative vision for the future of The Graph! The new R&D roadmap details an expansion of The Graph’s ability to serve web3’s growing demands for data access, while better serving builders and protocol contributors, and improving the overall simplicity and efficiency of the network. After three years of serving builders, The Graph Network is mature, reliable, and performant. The Graph ecosystem has followed through on its commitment to democratize access to blockchain data while also establishing subgraphs as a web3 standard. But The Graph’s innovation journey doesn’t end there. The New Era of The Graph is organized into five core objectives: 1️⃣ World of Data Services: Expanding to provide new data services beyond subgraphs to deliver a rich market of data on the network, serving novel use cases for data scientists and more. This will include more data sources, new query languages, and support for LLMs. 2️⃣ Developer Empowerment: Supporting developers through enhanced DevEx and tooling by introducing streamlined billing, clear pricing models, a new free query plan, and reduced gas fees. A more SaaS-like experience for devs, without compromising on decentralization! 3️⃣ Protocol Evolution & Resiliency: Delivering improvements resulting in a more resilient, flexible, and simple protocol, including updates to delegation. 4️⃣ Optimized Indexer Performance: Boosting network performance with improved Indexer tooling and operational capabilities to deliver increased scalability, reduce costs, and enhanced network reliability. 5️⃣ Interconnected Graph of Data: Creating tools for composable data and a global, organized knowledge graph – interlinking open data and making it easier to build upon. The new roadmap sets in motion an exciting evolution in web3 data infrastructure. In a phased rollout, The Graph will introduce many new features and benefits, including the integration of new data services, new query languages, enhanced developer tooling, improved UX + UI, alongside greater protocol efficiency and resilience. As this new era unfolds, The Graph crystallizes as the connective tissue across the many layers of the web3 stack, evolving into a comprehensive, interwoven graph of data equipped to serve every project dreamt up by web3’s innovators.

Building a star on Earth is a big engineering challenge. To tackle it, we’ve partnered with two industry powerhouses to create a high-fidelity digital twin of our #SPARC fusion machine. Here’s how this partnership is coming to life: ⚡️ Siemens: Data and Design — #Siemens software like Teamcenter and Designcenter NX let us manage SPARC’s complex design, housing data for our digital twin and handling traditional computer-aided design work. ⚡️ NVIDIA: AI Accelerator — NVIDIA’s Omniverse library provides a visually intuitive, 3D mirror of real-world SPARC that could improve planning and operations. And #NVIDIA software tools can help us build AI models of physics simulations that run enormously faster than traditional software. ⚡️ CFS: The Fusion Frontier — Integrating real-world and simulation data will let us benefit from AI-boosted physics software and compare its results with real-world data from how SPARC actually operates. Dive deeper into the details here and learn more about how our power trio is accelerating commercial fusion: #FusionEnergy #DigitalTwin #AI

Your agents can't keep up with real-time data. Especially when it's scattered across dozens of sources. Most teams waste weeks building custom connectors for every database, API, and data warehouse. Then they build ETL pipelines to sync everything. By the time your agent retrieves the data, it's already outdated. Picture this: Your Postgres database updated 5 minutes ago. Your MongoDB collection changed 2 minutes ago. Your agent is still pulling from yesterday's snapshot. This is why most production RAG systems fail. There's a better approach: MindsDB is an open-source AI platform with a federated data engine that lets you query multiple data sources in real-time using SQL - without moving any data. Here's what makes it different: ↳ Your data stays in place. No ETL pipelines or data duplication ↳ Query Postgres, MongoDB, REST APIs, and more using consistent SQL ↳ JOIN across different sources in real-time with a unified interface ↳ Works with both structured and un-structured data And here's the best part: You don't even need to write SQL. Just describe what you want in plain English, and MindsDB converts it to SQL automatically. The system does all the heavy lifting. The breakthrough for AI agents is simple: When data updates at the source, your agent gets fresh results immediately. No sync delays. No stale embeddings. No custom code for each integration. You can literally write a SQL query that joins a Postgres table with a MongoDB collection and gets live results. This is what production AI applications need but rarely get. In this video, I give you a complete walkthrough of what we just discussed and how to actually do it. Make sure you watch this till the end. I've shared the link to MindsDB's GitHub repo in the next tweet!
