@gentrajectory Is that a Glove80 I see? Idk if the company is any good, but at least the founder has good taste in keyboards.

In just ~3 months, as a solo founder with no prior robotics experience, General Trajectory trained a foundation model for dexterous manipulation that lets humanoid robots pick up unseen objects and perform real-world work. It generalizes to novel objects and scenes, including cases where prior SoTA models achieve 0% success. Congrats on the launch Joshua!

Demis Hassabis says Gemini 3 is on track and shows the fastest progress in the industry But general intelligence requires more than just the current trajectory It needs better reasoning, stronger memory, and "world model ideas" to solve physical intelligence AGI is still 5–10 years away

SITUATION EXPLAINED: A new generation of AI labs are betting that world models are the path to general intelligence that can interact with the real world. We had General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte on MTS to explain what world models are, and why intuitively world models offer a clearer path towards general intelligence than LLMs. For humans, text is a technology for compressing information about the unfolding, three-dimensional world around us and communicating it to other people. When LLMs reason about the world, they do so by reconstructing the world through text. World models work by modeling the three-dimensional world at the architecture level and then allowing agents to interact with that world. Unlike an LLM, which understands space and time through text, world models perform spatial and temporal reasoning natively. General Intuition hopes to use world models to create embodied AI—machines that can reason and act in the real world. But other companies are also pushing the frontier in this space. Odyssey ML today announced a multi-agent world model, Agora-1. Their launch video shows four participants interacting with a real-time world model simulation of GoldenEye, a first-person shooter for the N64. A playable preview of the GoldenEye simulation is available on their site.

for physical AI to work in the real world, it needs high-fidelity 3D models of the real world. not just for visualization — for localization, spatial reasoning, and real-to-sim workflows that close the gap between training and deployment. at Niantic Spatial 🌎, we're turning Spexi drone imagery into exactly that — city-scale Gaussian splats grounded in the environments that matter most.

Yann LeCun says that within a year to 18 months, we'll have a general method for training hierarchical world models These models would learn from video and real-world data, then help plan actions in robotics, healthcare, and other areas "then scale them toward a universal world model"

🔥Really excited to see the release of PAN world model, a project I had been working over the past years. PAN is a general world model capable of simulating physical, agentic, and nested worlds, synthesizing infinite interactive experiences for training AI agents. Building on top of pretrained LLMs and video diffusion models, PAN connects language, perception, action, and latent thoughts, for long-horizon simulation and reasoning. PAN shows overwhelming performance gains over JEPA-2, Cosmos-2, and other prior models. More in the thread👇 ... 1/
