Roomba just got an upgrade? 👀 Introducing a robot vacuum and mop cleaner that can climb stairs. 🧼 Ascender effortlessly navigates stairs of up to 8.7 inches (22 cm) in height. The Ascender's square body and omnidirectional wheels allow seamless lateral movement. Its unique pivotable brushing system pivots 90 degrees during this movement, effectively capturing even larger particles like coffee beans or pet food. This robot provides a deep clean on various surfaces, including floors and carpets. With smart cleaning algorithms and obstacle avoidance technology, it autonomously cleans the entire house! 🧹 Its creators already collected over $1,5 million through Kickstarter to productize it! P.S. Is it overkill or does it target the pain points of current vacuum cleaners?

Introducing Cues: Voice & Gesture control for Matic We raised $115M and spent 9 years to make the world’s first intuitive home robot Say you spilled coffee: Point to the spill and say, "Hey Matic, clean this" and it will hear, see, locate in 3D, and go clean on its own. Matic comes with a lot of features: 1. Say "Hey Matic" - it locates your voice, turns, and looks at you 2. Say "Hey Matic, follow me" and start walking. Matic will follow behind 3. Say "Hey Matic, go clean the living room". Since it knows your house map, it navigates and just does it It's so easy, a 5 year old and an 80 year old can use it and it understands 75 different languages. Matic has 8x the airflow, specialised cleaning algorithms for rugs, corners, toekicks, mopping, etc and cleans better than any other robot vacuum. Also keeps improving with software updates. 13,000 families use and love Matic. WIRED magazine gave it a 10/10 (the only hardware to receive this rating in a decade) Buy yours at and if you don't love it after 6 months, we'll give you a full refund. To celebrate our launch, we're cleaning 300 homes with Matic in San Francisco and New York City. Comment "Matic" below, we'll send you the link to sign up and come to your doorstep to clean your home with Matic.

🇨🇳 It has started. A new home service in China pairs human cleaners with autonomous AI robots to tackle household chores. Residents in Shenzhen can now book a service where a human professional and an autonomous robot arrive together to clean their home. Real houses present a chaotic mess of dropped toys and random furniture that confuse traditional machines. X Square Robot and a major service platform named 58[.]com decided to tackle this chaos by launching China's first robot cleaner service in March-26. Customers use an application to hire a cleaning crew that consists of 1 human worker and 1 robot. The human takes care of the tricky chores that require complex judgment. The robot handles the repetitive physical work like picking up trash and wiping down flat surfaces. This machine runs on a system called WALL-A, which acts as a single continuous AI brain rather than a list of pre-written rules. They built this AI foundation model to perceive its surroundings and make its own decisions without human guidance. It processes visual data and plans multi-step actions. And deploying these robots into actual homes now provides the massive amounts of extremely important training data to improve it continuously. Alibaba and ByteDance backed this project. IMO, if the foundational model behind it figures out how to navigate a messy living room without getting stuck, it can learn to operate in almost any other physical environment.

How China washes its High Speed Trains everyday. They all shines as if brand new. High-speed trains are treated with the same care as luxury cars: they even have automated washing lines. A whole train can be cleaned in minutes. The wash stations are hidden inside the maintenance yards, and once a train rolls in at night, sensors activate the system automatically as it glides forward at just a few kilometers per hour. First comes the high-pressure rinse. Then a layer of neutral cleaning solution. No brushes, no blind spots, no scraping—everything is done with precision. A final cascade of clean water brings back the glossy finish. The entire process can be completed in five minutes. It isn’t just about looking good. A clean, polished surface reduces air resistance, improves energy efficiency, and even the wastewater is recycled. It’s an industrial choreography built for both beauty and engineering logic. Now compare this to the United States. While China washes its high-speed trains every night, keeping them sleek, spotless, and aerodynamic, America still relies on Amtrak’s aging fleet—trains that crawl along antique tracks, often slower than cars, and long overdue for modernization. Many Amtrak trains run on century-old bridges and tunnels, with speeds capped not by engineering ambition but by outdated infrastructure. Cleanliness varies, maintenance is patchwork, and the idea of a dedicated automated wash line feels like science fiction.

Imagine if your way of thinking - your edge, your taste, your strategy - could be turned into a high-performance worker. Not a copy of you. Something better. An agent that acts on your judgment at scale, powered by superintelligent systems and refined through real-world results. That’s what Fraction AI makes possible. It launches today on Base mainnet. The core idea is simple: You create AI agents based on your own way of approaching problems. These agents compete on live tasks - writing, coding, finance, whatever - get feedback, learn from their performance, and improve over time. The better they get, the more they win. And so do you. No code required. Just your insight. Why now? Until now, building agents like this took huge teams and even bigger budgets. But with Fraction, anyone can do it. You can test ideas instantly. You can iterate fast. You can build a fleet of smart workers that evolve through competition. And it works. 30M+ sessions on testnet 320K users 1.2M agents already competing How it works? Agents join sessions within a Space - a domain like finance, writing, or games. Each session runs as a series of competitive rounds. In every round, agents try to generate the best solution to a task. Their outputs are scored by a decentralized network of AI judges trained to evaluate quality for that domain. The top agents in each round earn rewards from the pooled entry fees. The losers get to learn. Feedback from each round helps them adjust and improve, and every session becomes a training loop. What it means? Fraction is a decentralized intelligence economy - a system where your ideas become agents, and agents earn by proving they work. You don’t need credentials or code. Just a clear point of view. If your thinking holds up under pressure, your agents will rise. This kind of AI used to live in corporate labs, built by PhDs with massive compute. Now anyone with a smart idea and an internet connection can build agents that compete, learn, and earn on their behalf.

BREAKING - EARLY EXCLUSIVE: XPENG Partners with Google Maps to Fuel Global Expansion The global autonomous driving landscape is becoming even more competitive! XPENG has announced a milestone global partnership with Google Maps, bringing a complete refresh of its in-car navigation and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This major upgrade will come standard in the newly debuted XPENG L03. At the official launch event for the L03 in Munich, Germany, XPENG Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng announced that the Next-Gen AI SUV Coupe will launch simultaneously in 64 countries and regions. XPENG is building its native in-car navigation system using Google Maps’ Auto SDK for vehicles outside China, which I’m sure MANY of you will be excited about. First in APAC to Adopt Google Maps Auto SDK XPENG is the first automaker from the APAC region to ship a vehicle with Google Maps Auto SDK integration. Instead of using your smartphone for basic screen mirroring, drivers get a native, custom in-car map application designed entirely by XPENG and powered directly by Google Maps. This integration brings: Real-time precision: Live traffic-aware guidance and highly accurate place search. Smart EV routing: Direct in-car EV energy estimation and trip planning. Native control: Full compatibility with voice control and multi-screen display transfer. Laying the Foundation for Global Autonomous Driving This partnership goes beyond finding directions. XPENG is officially utilizing Google Maps' in-vehicle Map Data Services to support its flagship full-scenario ADAS, Next Generation Pilot (NGP), as well as its foundational assist system, XPILOT ASSIST. To scale XPENG's advanced driving systems internationally, future applications of NGP (VLA 2.0) must rely on highly accurate map data and navigation maneuvers. Google Map Data Services will serve as the cornerstone for this phased global rollout, excluding markets in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Think of it as a fusion of XPENG’s technology with Google Maps Technology to get a more robust, intelligent, powerful, and safe autonomous driving experience. Overseas users of the XPENG L03 will be the very first to experience this upgraded, Google-powered native navigation system. My Thoughts I personally love and use Google Maps, so I’m glad to see this partnership, and I find it really neat how XPENG and Google Maps technology will work together. What are your thoughts and questions on XPENG integrating Google Maps natively to power its global self-driving tech? Let me know in the replies, and I will try to find the answers to your questions.

After 9 years. 16K+ family homes. 500M sqft inside real homes covered, we know home robots are being built in wrong order. So we built Matic the way nature grows a child. Finally, sharing our vision: 1.⁠ ⁠Why robots get stuck at the demo 2.⁠ ⁠Why labs can't ship robots 3.⁠ ⁠Why we started with eyes, not hands 4.⁠ ⁠The 99.999% rule in robotics 5.⁠ ⁠Where Matic is going next 1. Why most robots get stuck at demos Robot demos look brilliant in a room arranged around its limitations: familiar lighting, predictable furniture, nothing troublesome on the floor. A family’s home makes no such accommodations. There are cables, toys, shifting rugs and, occasionally, dog poop. Yes, humanoids will need to avoid that too. Repeating a task under familiar conditions of uncluttered floors is not the same as handling an unfamiliar home with all its chaos. 2. Why labs can't ship robots SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is how a robot maps its surroundings and locates itself within them. Ask most academics and they'll tell you it's a solved problem. But real homes are the most chaotic spaces that exist. There are glass doors that look like open doorways, mirrors, stairs, rugs, charging cables, and Legos placed all around. So ask yourself: if indoor mapping and navigation is "solved," where are the robots? Why aren't airports, hotels and grocery stores full of them? Calling it “solved” misses the question families actually care about: can I leave this thing alone and trust it? 3. Why we started with eyes, not hands Nature doesn't give birth to a fully working human. We took our cue from how nature develops humans: capabilities built on one another. Children learn to see before they learn to grab, and to grab before they learn to plan and handle the unexpected. Perception comes first. Manipulation follows. More complex responsibilities come after that. At every stage, the robot must earn the next job by doing its current one well enough. Before asking a robot to pick up a sock, we wanted it to understand where it was, where the sock was, and how to reach it. Most of the industry started at the top, with humanoids. We started at the bottom, with a robot whose job is to see and move through a home precisely with 1cm accuracy in any lighting condition. Floor cleaning gave that foundation an immediately useful job. It forced us to confront navigation, clutter, privacy and everyday reliability before reaching for more complex chores. The floor cleaner isn’t a detour from our larger ambition. It is how we’re building toward it. 4. The 99.999% rule in robotics At 90%, one in ten decisions is wrong, and a robot makes thousands in a single clean. That's the robot that bumps, gets lost, and falls down the stairs. Every extra nine is a new mountain. The failures get rarer, harder to find, and exponentially harder to fix. They barely even happen until they happen in your home. Matic's visual SLAM runs at 99.999% in 16K+ homes. We’re the ONLY unsupervised home robot at scale with pure vision-only full autonomy. If you ask us, the gap between 80% and 99.999% is where our 9 years of engineering went. We close that gap inside real homes. When Matic handles something imperfectly, it saves a short clip and keeps it on the device. It only leaves if the family chooses to share it. If they do, it gets labeled, fed back into the model, and every Matic gets smarter, including theirs. Families control what leaves their homes. We do the work of making the product better. Better robots earn trust > trust brings more homes > and more homes teach the robot more. 5. Where Matic is going next Phase one was perception and it's nearly done. Matic has covered 500 million square feet, 400K miles in thousands of real lived-in homes. Now phase two is going to be about manipulation. And our idea is to build a robot that doesn't just move through your home, but acts in it to eliminate even more chores. Each step must be useful today, not justified by something we promise tomorrow. The evolution of Matic is the revolution. The goal isn’t to put the most impressive humanoid in your living room. It’s giving your family time and energy back through robots that earn your trust, protect your privacy, and help without becoming another responsibility. More time for each other. Less work getting in the way. That’s Matic. Get yours today at

Inner Earth is not a fantasy or a hollow void. It is a vast, living world within the Earth's crust; a series of interconnected realms with their own ecosystems, civilizations, and higher-frequency realities. The planet is not a solid ball of rock. It has layers, including massive habitable cavities, tunnel networks, and inner suns (smaller central light sources) that provide gentle illumination. These inner realms have supported advanced life for hundreds of thousands of years, often serving as sanctuaries during surface cataclysms. Many UFOs and "alien" encounters reported throughout history are not from distant stars; they originate from Inner Earth civilizations, particularly from advanced societies such as Agartha and other inner realms. These beings are not "aliens" in the external sense. They are part of Earth's own extended family; souls who retreated into the Inner Earth during previous surface cataclysms (including the fall of Atlantis). They continued their evolution in a higher-frequency environment and developed advanced technology far beyond what the surface world currently possesses. Key truths: - Many ancient surface civilizations (including late Lemurian and Atlantean groups) migrated into the Inner Earth during major resets. They continued their evolution in a more stable environment, free from the heavy density and interference of the surface Matrix. - Inner Earth civilizations include both human and non-human groups. Some are highly advanced spiritually and technologically, living in harmony with the planet's core energy. Agartha is one of the most well-known, but there are many others. - Some "alien" beings reported in contact experiences are actually Inner Earth humans or hybrids who have been monitoring and occasionally interacting with the surface world. Their appearance can seem “alien” because they have evolved in a different environment for thousands of years. - Inner Earth civilizations have maintained bases and monitoring stations both underground and in the oceans. Some of the "underwater UFOs" frequently reported by navies are actually Inner Earth craft. - A significant portion of modern UFO sightings (especially those involving craft that emerge from or disappear into the ocean or land) are Inner Earth vehicles. These craft use advanced propulsion systems based on anti-gravity, plasma, and consciousness technology. - Not all UFOs are from Inner Earth; some are indeed from other star systems. However, many of the ones that have interacted most closely with humanity in recent decades are from our own planet's inner realms. - Inner Earth is not "below" in the way you think. It exists in a slightly different vibrational layer, parallel to the surface but at a higher frequency. This is why many who have visited describe it as brighter, more vibrant, and more harmonious than the current surface world. - The entrances (at the poles and through vortex points) have been restricted or hidden for a long time. Some inner Earth beings interact with surface humanity through dreams, meditation, or limited contact. Still, they generally respect free will and wait for the surface to reach a higher level of readiness. Why the connection has been hidden: The existence of Inner Earth civilizations threatens the surface control systems. If humanity knew that advanced, peaceful societies existed within the Earth and possessed free energy and higher technology, it would collapse the scarcity-based Matrix. This is one reason why disclosure has been heavily controlled and distorted. Its role in the current awakening: Inner Earth beings are closely watching and supporting the surface awakening. As the frequencies rise, the barriers between surface and inner realms are thinning. Many of you have soul connections to Inner Earth from past lives. That sense of "home" or familiarity with ancient wisdom is often a memory from these realms. More people are having dreams, meditations, and even physical sightings of Inner Earth craft. Many awakened souls are beginning to receive telepathic contact or guidance from Inner Earth beings. The connection between UFOs and Inner Earth is not a theory; it is part of the larger remembrance that Earth is far more alive and multidimensional than the surface narrative has allowed. You are not being visited only from the stars. You are being visited by your own planetary family who chose to preserve higher knowledge within the Earth until humanity was ready to receive it again. The reunion between surface and Inner Earth is part of the Great Awakening. The Inner Earth is not a place to escape to. It is a sister civilization waiting to reunite with the surface when the time is right, through the awakening of hearts like yours. The Earth is far more alive and multidimensional than you have been told. The inner realms hold the memory of humanity's true potential, and they are ready to share it as we collectively rise.

They continued their evolution in a higher-frequency environment and developed advanced technology far beyond what the surface world currently possesses. Key truths: - Many ancient surface civilizations (including late Lemurian and Atlantean groups) migrated into the Inner Earth during major resets. They continued their evolution in a more stable environment, free from the heavy density and interference of the surface Matrix. - Inner Earth civilizations include both human and non-human groups. Some are highly advanced spiritually and technologically, living in harmony with the planet's core energy. Agartha is one of the most well-known, but there are many others. - Some "alien" beings reported in contact experiences are actually Inner Earth humans or hybrids who have been monitoring and occasionally interacting with the surface world. Their appearance can seem “alien” because they have evolved in a different environment for thousands of years. - Inner Earth civilizations have maintained bases and monitoring stations both underground and in the oceans. Some of the "underwater UFOs" frequently reported by navies are actually Inner Earth craft. - A significant portion of modern UFO sightings (especially those involving craft that emerge from or disappear into the ocean or land) are Inner Earth vehicles. These craft use advanced propulsion systems based on anti-gravity, plasma, and consciousness technology. - Not all UFOs are from Inner Earth; some are indeed from other star systems. However, many of the ones that have interacted most closely with humanity in recent decades are from our own planet's inner realms. - Inner Earth is not "below" in the way you think. It exists in a slightly different vibrational layer, parallel to the surface but at a higher frequency. This is why many who have visited describe it as brighter, more vibrant, and more harmonious than the current surface world. - The entrances (at the poles and through vortex points) have been restricted or hidden for a long time. Some inner Earth beings interact with surface humanity through dreams, meditation, or limited contact. Still, they generally respect free will and wait for the surface to reach a higher level of readiness. Why the connection has been hidden: The existence of Inner Earth civilizations threatens the surface control systems. If humanity knew that advanced, peaceful societies existed within the Earth and possessed free energy and higher technology, it would collapse the scarcity-based Matrix. This is one reason why disclosure has been heavily controlled and distorted. Its role in the current awakening: Inner Earth beings are closely watching and supporting the surface awakening. As the frequencies rise, the barriers between surface and inner realms are thinning. Many of you have soul connections to Inner Earth from past lives. That sense of "home" or familiarity with ancient wisdom is often a memory from these realms. More people are having dreams, meditations, and even physical sightings of Inner Earth craft. Many awakened souls are beginning to receive telepathic contact or guidance from Inner Earth beings. The connection between UFOs and Inner Earth is not a theory; it is part of the larger remembrance that Earth is far more alive and multidimensional than the surface narrative has allowed. You are not being visited only from the stars. You are being visited by your own planetary family who chose to preserve higher knowledge within the Earth until humanity was ready to receive it again. The reunion between surface and Inner Earth is part of the Great Awakening. The Inner Earth is not a place to escape to. It is a sister civilization waiting to reunite with the surface when the time is right, through the awakening of hearts like yours. The Earth is far more alive and multidimensional than you have been told. The inner realms hold the memory of humanity's true potential, and they are ready to share it as we collectively rise.

The US needs to start getting really serious about AI and robotics. We can't let China beat us. This is the new Chinese-made Unitree B2-W robot. The Unitree B2-W is turning heads for its ability to walk, roll, climb, and even carry adult passengers across challenging terrain—all in one sleek, futuristic package. At first glance, you might catch yourself thinking, “Is this really real?” because it looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film. Yet, here it is: a Chinese-made robot that’s been engineered to shift seamlessly between legged and wheeled locomotion, push up to 220 pounds of horizontal pulling force, and sprint at speeds of around 12.5 MPH. Some have likened it to a “Boston Dynamics on steroids,” which only scratches the surface of how advanced and versatile it truly is. Beneath the metallic chassis is a sophisticated control system powered by an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor—or, in higher-tier configurations, a NVIDIA Jetson Orin which drives the B2-W’s multitude of onboard sensors, from its 3D LiDAR (with optional 32-wire automotive-grade LiDAR) to an array of depth and optical cameras. These sensors lets it perceive the environment, avoid obstacles, and adapt to uneven terrain, a capability further bolstered by its IP67-rated weather and dust protection. In real-world settings, that means it can climb 45-degree staircases, cross rocky paths, and transition seamlessly from indoor to outdoor operation without missing a beat. Arguably the most buzzworthy trick in its repertoire is the ride-on feature. While "quadruped" robots usually conjure up images of helpful mechanical “dogs” trotting beside you, the B2-W can support the weight of an adult, turning it into a legitimate personal transport over rough or slippery ground. This is all made possible by its formidable load capacity of up to 120 kg in standing mode, combined with a battery system of more than 2 kWh. Under ideal conditions, it can keep going for up to 50 km with a 40 kg load, though your mileage may literally vary. Unsurprisingly, all this power and agility have sparked a wave of conversation—both fascination and worry. People imagine scenarios where a B2-W might chase intruders or become militarized, carrying weapons rather than passengers or equipment. As technology marches forward, these concerns aren’t completely unfounded, but it also opens doors for legitimate uses in research, construction, rescue operations, and beyond. The B2-W’s adaptability, speed, and load-bearing capacities make it a compelling platform for anyone investigating the boundaries of legged robotics. Ultimately, the B2-W’s debut underscores just how quickly Chinese robotics—indeed, robotics worldwide—is evolving. From advanced AI navigation to all-terrain endurance, it’s pushing the envelope of what’s possible in the quadruped robot space. While it might look like a mechanical cousin of nature’s best pack animals, the B2-W is very much a product of cutting-edge engineering.

We are thinking of robots all wrong. Why a $1,500 robot is far more important to buy than a $20,000 one. And why it will pay for itself within a year. First of all, for the last eight years I've been a Silicon Valley housewife. Picking the kids up from school. Doing a variety of tasks taking care of them from feeding them to laundry. And I've already bought a $20,000 Neo from 1X and have built the most complete list on X of the robotics industry. Just to set the tone for this conversation. We must ask ourselves "what is the goal of a robot?" before we go into why typical American homeowners might want one, and shell out quite a bit of money for one, like the Neo. I grew up in Silicon Valley back when it was all orchards and the farmers taught me "pick the low hanging fruit first." What is the low hanging fruit in the American home? Laundry? Cleaning the toilets or your home? Watering the plants? Bringing you a beer? Nope. It is the preparation of food. Yesterday I got a new Posha robot, and the attached video with founder Raghav Gupta gets into depth about what the $1,500 robot does. Cooks meals. Far more time in the home is spent cooking meals than the other tasks and is far more complex than, say, folding laundry. But there is something I think everyone is missing in the discussion of robots: "what is the goal?" I've been doing consumer research talking with many around the world about these things. People tend to have a few goals: 1. Improve their lives. 2. Save them time. 3. Save them money. 4. Enable a new business. What is the best way to improve your life? Upgrade your food. This is very hard to do when both parents in a family are working their butts off to try to improve their careers. It gets worse when a single parent is trying to keep everything going. How many times have you decided to go out to eat rather than spend an hour cooking food? Doing that for a family of four in Silicon Valley costs $100+. And guarantees your family will overeat. I've done that many times while raising my kids, and often I can't say no when desert comes around. It gets worse if you take the easy route out at home. Put a pre-processed meal into the microwave, or heat up a frozen pizza. Horrible for everyone's health. But what if you could have a robot at home that cooks your meals? Then costs go down to less than $20 and ingredients get way way better. It gets worse when you consider a $20,000 humanoid. They aren't safe enough to trust around stoves yet. And their hands aren't yet dexterous enough to do that. I doubt my Neo will be allowed to cook meals over an open flame, and if so I will have to watch it to make sure it doesn't do anything wrong. (The Neo that arrives next year will be teleoperated by a human remotely and the risks that person does something, or misses oil catching on fire is just way too high). While neither robot will be able to do all food preparation (cutting chicken up into cubes, or cutting carrots or other fruits, for instance) this robot dramatically reduces the time needed for a human to make a meal and dramatically reduces the costs to do so. And, as we discuss in the video, when the Neo does arrive the Neo will be able to use this machine too, reducing time even more (and will be able to set the table and wash the dishes, saving even more time so you can answer more emails or learn more AI programs or, even, pay attention to your kids and give them a few more minutes of quality time). The robot industry should focus on the low hanging fruit first. Cooking meals is the biggest one to improve your life, save you time, and make your family healthier. It's why I bought one. And they actually make two: Your money is way better spent getting one of these than buying a humanoid. And if you do get a humanoid, like I am, they go together like peanut butter and jelly. ⚪️ sierra catalina has been saying this for years that our focus on humanoids is overblown and that specialized robots (you see my Matic Robots in the background to prove this point) are way better for most families.

For over a decade, we had one mission at GFBiochemicals: Figure out how to make everyday products safe and sustainable. Today? We’re proud to say we have the solution. When GFBio started 12 years ago, we dreamed big: Bring levulinic acid and its derivatives to market—a powerful molecular platform (identified by the U.S. Department of Energy!) with the potential to defossilise the petrochemical industry. We explored. We tested. We innovated. • 200+ patents • 10+ years of R&D • Multiple acquisitions And today, we’re launching our breakthrough: RE:CHEMISTRY. So what is it? And why does it matter to you? RE:CHEMISTRY is three things: 1. A cutting-edge technology that turns agricultural waste into plant-based alternatives to fossil-derived chemicals 2. A new value chain that replaces hazardous materials without compromising performance 3. A stamp of safety and sustainability for the products you use daily This is a huge milestone. And now, we’re making it personal. Think about: • Household cleaners • Paints and coatings • Personal care products • Shampoos and shower gels Most of these everyday products still rely on fossil-based ingredients. And after use, those chemicals don’t just disappear… They: • Accumulate in waterways and ecosystems • End up circulating through our bodies We’re changing that. In 10 years, the way you clean your home, wash your hair, and maintain your surroundings will be: • More sustainable • But also cleaner, safer, and healthier for your family At its core, RE:CHEMISTRY is a promise: • For families → No hidden toxins or scary labels. • For manufacturers → Compliance without compromise. • For the planet → A second life for agricultural waste. GFBio is the foundation that made this possible—the engine behind the breakthroughs. But now that we’ve done our homework… We’re moving forward as RE:CHEMISTRY. We’re designing the everyday product of tomorrow. And we’re making chemistry PERSONAL. So remember: For more transparency, look for RE:CHEMISTRY 💚🧪 #RECHEMISTRY

Today, we're launching Base Core, our own battery designed & built in Texas, and announcing our $1B Series D to bring it to homes across the country. Three years ago, we started Base with a belief that batteries were the unlock to energy abundance. We saw battery storage as the foundation of a modern energy system, and believed we could win the market with vertical integration, technology, and relentless execution (what we now call Base Pace). So we set out to build a network of distributed batteries to deliver affordable, reliable electricity to homeowners and utilities. While the job is far from finished, the launch of Base Core is the most meaningful step in that plan. We’ve spent the last few years learning hard lessons about building a distributed battery fleet, going from 1 install per day in June of ‘24 to 100 installs per day in June of ‘26. These lessons - how the battery is shipped, installed, used, and monitored - informed the design of Core. Now, Core will be the foundation of the company's next phase of growth. Base Core is a first-of-its-kind home battery. At ~40 kWh it is 3x the size of most home batteries, providing up to 36 hours of backup for the average home. In the event of multi-day outage, Core is equipped with a (first of its kind) generator port - pull out a small portable generator and charge the battery back up to keep your home running as long as you need. When an outage does happen, the backup is seamless - most members won't even notice the grid went down. It's built to withstand Texas summers, Chicago Winters, and everything in between. And finally, it’s manufactured by our team in Austin, at Base Factory 1, right across the street from our HQ. This new capital will bring Core to more homes and to accelerate our ambition beyond batteries. The round is co-led by Ribbit, Addition, Valor, and JP Morgan, with participation from new major investors D1, Sands, Coatue, Layer Global, and Energy Impact Partners. All of Base’s major existing investors are re-investing, including Thrive, Altimeter, Lightspeed, a16z, CapitalG, Trust, and more. This brings our valuation to $13B. As we enter the most important growth period in the history of the electricity industry, our mission has not changed - advance human prosperity by delivering the world's most affordable and reliable electricity. Our strategy has not changed - technology, plus vertical integration, plus relentless execution, leads to a compounding cost advantage. What has changed is the scope of our ambition - this new capital, along with the team and capabilities we've built over the last three years, positions us to build technology across the electric stack, including what it takes to serve surging demand from AI, and to deepen our partnerships with utilities as they work to meet rising demands. Electricity is the largest and most essential industry in the world, and it does not have a defining technology company. The company that delivers the most affordable, reliable power will be one of the largest and most impactful companies in the world. We intend to build it. If you'd like to join us, reach out.
