LLMs are great for human in the loop applications, but fail at deterministic developer tasks. Interfaze (YC P26) is a new AI model that outperforms general LLMs on high accuracy tasks like: OCR, Object Detection, Web scraping, Speech-to-text, Classification and more. Congrats on the launch, Yoeven and Harsha!

“Math is code. And code is math.” Carina Hong CEO Axiom on why that idea matters for AI: “For centuries, mathematicians reasoned in natural language. But because of the Curry–Howard correspondence, a proof can also be a program.” “You can translate natural-language math into formal code using systems like Lean. Lean is both a theorem-proving language and a programming language.” “That means you can generate solutions as code and then formally verify them. You can even use the same system to verify programs themselves.” “This creates a flywheel of generation and verification, where AI can both write solutions and prove that they’re correct.”

Could You Guess What Comes After the OptimAI Edge Node? We’re excited to share another glimpse into the future, Community-Powered Data Validation, a unique feature within the OptimAI Core Node for desktop. What is Data Validation? It’s the essential process of ensuring AI systems learn from accurate, unbiased, and high-quality data. Through human intelligence, users verify, correct, and refine information - making it reliable for training advanced AI agents. This process is enabled by the OptimAI DeHIN (Decentralized Human Intelligence Network), which brings collective intelligence into the heart of AI development. Why is it important? Because truly responsible and powerful AI starts with trusted data. Community validation improves fairness, transparency, and performance - ensuring AI benefits everyone. And as a participant, you’re not just supporting better AI; you’re earning rewards and shaping its future. Your desktop is about to become much more than a device. It’s a gateway to reinforcing the quality of data that powers Agentic AI. Validate data. Strengthen AI. Get rewarded. The future of AI is collective — and it needs you. #BUIDL with us! 👉OptimAI Lite Node: 👉OptimAI Edge Node:

Been looking into RICE AI ( ◉ - ◉ ) lately, and it’s one of the few projects actually tackling a real challenge in robotics and AGI: the lack of high-quality training data. Robots can’t get truly intelligent without it. They building a decentralized way to collect and share robotics data, using a DePIN network to train physical AI foundation models. The project was even hand-picked by CZ as a winner of the Dubai BNB Chain Demo Day, and it’s backed by Floki while also being part of the NVIDIA Inception Program. They also launched FLOKI Minibot M1 - a small AI companion that doubles as a data node. Every interaction with it feeds the RICE AI Foundry, the first decentralized platform for Robotics Foundation Models, and contributors earn $RICE tokens in return. And it’s working: – 800 minibots sold in 24h – 33,000% oversubscribed Binance IDO – 500+ robots already deployed worldwide Feels like a project with real long-term potential. Worth keeping an eye on.

What is the best data for training humanoid & robotics foundation models? Pete Florence Pete Florence (CEO Eric Nehrlich, ex-Google DeepMind) dropped his live data tier list in this 7-minute clip on TBPN: - S-tier: Real-world robot experience (especially glove/sensor high-dexterity data) - A/B-tier: Internet/YouTube videos. Surprisingly powerful for transfer learning (the “web data” moment for physical AI) - B-tier: Text/common crawl (Reddit, books, etc.). Useful priors, but not enough alone - C-tier: Motion Capture. Great for whole-body motion, weak on finger dexterity - C or lower: Simulation / synthetic / world models. High potential, still waiting for strong real-world proof Generalist has collected 270,000+ hours of real-world manipulation data (scaling ~10k hours/week). And Pete stressed one key point: “The quality of data is incredibly important.” It’s not just about volume. It’s developing intuition for what actually drives performance through hands-on work. As Physical AI scales, curated real-world and high-quality internet video looks like a winning combo. h/t YUJI | AI Robotics

Scientific progress relies on empirical evidence, rigorous testing, and peer review, none of which are advanced through public debates with untrained individuals. Unlike politics or philosophy, where personal opinions and rhetoric can shape policy, science is governed by objective data and reproducible facts that remain true regardless of public consensus. Engaging in formal debates with non-experts creates a false equivalence, giving the misleading impression that a robustly tested scientific consensus is merely one side of an ongoing opinion piece. Furthermore, scientific communication requires a specialized understanding of methodology and data analysis; arguing with untrained individuals often forces experts to defend fundamental facts against emotional appeals or misinformation rather than advancing actual knowledge. Ultimately, science validates its claims through the laboratory and the field, making public debate an inefficient and counterproductive forum for establishing objective truth. Watch the full video:

.Polymath is training world generation models to automate the creation of RL environments. Traditionally, RL environment generation has been bottlenecked by human data. Superintelligence will never be achieved by human data alone. Polymath is building the core technology to enable automated environment generation using far less human effort than traditionally required, and eventually none. This allows for more complex and realistic worlds, and higher quality, scale, and diversity of tasks. This will be essential to unlock RL scaling. The end goal is to create large-scale, long-horizon environments from a text description alone. This will enable the creation of worlds of arbitrary complexity and scale, which is foundational for training & evaluating autonomous, superintelligent AI agents. Congrats on the launch, Dylan Ma and Naren Yenuganti!

🚨 CHINA TO MAKE EVERY CHINESE KID AN AI WHIZZ China just made AI training mandatory in schools, starting in first grade. By high school, kids will know how to train models, build neural networks, and do data analysis, while American kids are working on their multiplication tables. They’re adding courses in robotics, machine learning, and even digital ethics for high schoolers. The goal? turn the tables on the West and take control of humanity's future.

At Axis, every trajectory submitted by our community undergoes a strict replay validation process. We run each submission through checker to verify whether the target task was successfully completed. To see how strict it is, check this demo (Task: Place The Toy Train On The Board Game Box). Real human data passes smoothly (Video 1). However, bots or manually altered data will fail (Video 2). Why? Faking numbers breaks the simulation's physics causality. Even tiny tweaks cause error accumulation, resulting in failed movements. This invalid data is automatically rejected. Because of this mechanism, data submitted via bots will ultimately fail our replay verification. Invalid data is strictly excluded from model training, and the task slot is reopened to the community to collect genuine, high-quality trajectories. Furthermore, we actively monitor for duplicated data. Trajectories that are identical lack the diversity required for robot learning and will not be credited by our scoring system. If we detect accounts submitting a massive volume of identical trajectories, all associated addresses will be permanently banned. For Axis, the quality and diversity of data are the only ways to solve the robotics generalization gap. They will always be our absolute top priorities.
