Running a coffee business means making decisions in a world that constantly changes. Inventory shifts. Customers change. Strategies need updates. dots studio’s dots3-note preview is designed for these long-term challenges. Built with 280B parameters, 16B active parameters, 512K context, and multimodal understanding, it goes beyond short answers. Its core... capability is TEMPO. For long tasks, the challenge is knowing whether actions are still on the right path. TEMPO lets agents evaluate and adjust during execution through Actor and Critic — making decisions, checking progress, and refining strategies as the environment changes. Together with: 🌱 Learning in deployment — learning from unfamiliar situations. 🌍 Multimodal capability — understanding different types of information. dots3-note preview pushes AI closer to adaptive systems like rednote, while demonstrating advanced reasoning abilities including IMO gold medal-level performance.

@dotsstudioai The Actor + Critic loop is what makes this especially interesting. AI that can act, evaluate its trajectory, and adapt as conditions change is much closer to real-world agency than simply generating the next answer. 🔥

Progress in open models is keeping Big AI labs up at night, and I'm here for it! We have a brand new open-weight multimodal model optimized for long-horizon tasks. This model is really good at something: it can work on tasks that keep evolving over time. • 280B total parameters, but only 16B active • 512K context window • Understands text, images, and audio • Strong reasoning, coding, and tool use But the best of all: the model learns and adapts to new information! Imagine you start running an agent today to solve a problem, and while it's working, you get new information that changes the initial conditions, or you change your mind. The agents you run today don't have issues with short tasks and goals that don't change, but reality is messy, and that makes it hard for long-horizon agents to succeed. The new dots3-note Preview model introduces TEMPO. TEMPO is a new reinforcement learning technique that lets the model periodically pause and critique its own progress. Basically, from time to time, the agent asks itself: "Am I getting closer to the goal, or am I wasting my time?" The same model switches between actor and critic. The actor works on the problem. The critic looks at the current state, reasons about how much progress it has made, and determines what should happen next. TEMPO gives the model feedback along the way. This is huge for any agent that can work on long-horizon tasks without wasting its time.

I’ve been testing Hy4 preview in WorkBuddy, and the most interesting part is not simply the model size, it’s how much practical work it can handle with a relatively focused active parameter count. Hy4 preview brings together stronger code understanding, generation, and editing; improved document and information processing; workflow automation; web and game development; cross-tool collaboration; and more reliable completion of complex, multi-step tasks. In other words, it is designed for work that requires planning, tool use, iteration, and follow-through, not just a quick answer in a chat window. Compared with its initial release, the current Hy4 preview is noticeably faster and better-performing in practical workflows. Following an upgrade released yesterday, it can complete tasks with fewer conversation rounds and lower token usage, while reasoning more quickly and making the overall user experience feel smoother from the first instruction to the final result. For my test, I gave it a demanding Three.js game-prototyping task with a 770B-parameter model and 49B active parameters. The result was more revealing than a simple first-look demo: Hy4 preview handled the core logic, edge cases, and follow-up changes while maintaining the broader context of the project. That combination of capability, speed, context, and active compute is what makes its cost-effectiveness worth examining. A fair evaluation should use the same prompt and environment configuration across models, changing only the model itself. That makes it easier to assess task completion, planning quality, tool-calling stability, reasoning speed, token efficiency, and performance over longer workflows without confusing the result with different settings. If you want to test the model yourself, access Hy4 preview through WorkBuddy and see how it performs on a real coding, document, automation, or creative task: Tencent Hy Tencent AI WorkBuddy

Experiments in progress. The one on the right has been learning for ~3 hours, the one in the middle for ~1 hour, and the one on the left just started a few minutes ago. The initial motivation for making the physical Atari was just to commit ourselves to a subset of algorithms that can make progress in this setup. This commitment rules out algorithms that require billions of samples to learn (or worse, require multiple environments running in parallel). Atari games are simple enough that we should be able to show learning on them in a short amount of time with no prior knowledge. Since then, I've realized that this setup is also a good way to compare different paradigms in robotics in a principled way. These paradigms are sim2real, learning from tele-operated data, and learning directly on the robots. So far, I have observed that getting sim2real to work reliably is hard. It requires tweaks that don't scale. Policies that can play perfectly in simulation fall apart because of latencies and the messiness of the real world. These aspects could be modeled to improve the simulation, but not without sinking significant human engineering hours. I have higher hopes for learning from tele-operated data, but that requires a human to learn the task first. These experiments are on my to-do list. I have to learn to play some of the games well through the robot. I’m half-decent at playing Pong and Ms Pacman now. Learning directly on robots is looking like the most promising approach. This approach takes away pesky distribution shifts and makes it possible to have algorithms that continually improve with more data and time without any human intervention. It feels great to let experiments run overnight and wake up to find improved policies. With learning on robots, I should, in principle, be able to go on a long vacation and come back to find better policies for complex tasks beyond Atari games. Whether that is possible with current learning algorithms is a different question.

🚨 Tencent Hunyuan just dropped Hy4 preview—and it’s already making its way into the open-source big leagues. Three major releases in six months. That’s seriously fast. Hy4 preview comes with: 770B total parameters 49B active parameters A 1M+ token context window And it’s built with one clear focus: productivity. We’re talking coding, office work, science, software engineering, gaming, finance, security, and more. But here’s the part that really caught my attention: Hy4 preview wasn’t developed in isolation. It was co-designed with real products like WorkBuddy. Tencent worked with experts from across its ecosystem to build the training data, then tested the model on real-world tasks. In a blind test involving 163 internal experts and 203 engineering tasks, the scores were: Hy4 preview: 2.99/4 Kimi K3: 2.94/4 GLM 5.3: 2.92/4 And performance isn’t the only impressive part. On benchmarks, Hy4 preview clearly outperforms GLM 5.2 and is basically neck-and-neck with GLM 5.3. Then there’s the pricing: $6/M input tokens $18/M output tokens $0.30/M cache hits That’s flagship-level performance without the flagship-level price. You can try Hy4 preview for FREE through WorkBuddy over the next two weeks: Tencent Hy @TencentAl_News

Check out our #ICRA2024 paper "Actor-Critic Model Predictive Control." Model-free #reinforcementlearning (RL) is known for its strong task performance and flexibility in optimizing general reward formulations. On the other hand, #ModelPredictiveControl (MPC) benefits from robustness and online replanning capabilities. We combine both approaches by introducing a new framework called Actor-Critic Model Predictive Control. The key idea is to embed a differentiable MPC within an Actor-Critic RL framework. The proposed approach leverages the short-term predictive optimization capabilities of MPC with the exploratory and end-to-end training properties of RL. The resulting policy effectively manages both short-term decisions through the MPC-based actor and long-term prediction via the critic network, unifying the benefits of both model-based control and end-to-end learning. We validate our method in simulation and the real world with a quadcopter across various high-level tasks. We show that the proposed architecture can achieve real-time control performance, learn complex behaviors via trial and error, and retain the predictive properties of the MPC to better handle out-of-distribution behavior.

New short course: Long-Term Agentic Memory with LangGraph. Learn to build an agent with long-term memory in this course developed in collaboration with taught by its Co-Founder and CEO, Harrison Chase! Personal assistance and productivity tasks have become important use cases for agents. An important feature of an AI assistant, such as a coding or calendar assistant, is its ability to keep improving over time from its experience. Agent memory is the key capability that enables this. To add memory to an agent, you must first figure out what to store and what to retrieve when it is time to use the information. Additionally, you’ll have to decide when to update the stored information. For example, you might update in each iteration loop of the agent or perform updates in the background, with a helper agent. In this course, you will learn a mental framework to build agents with long-term memory. You'll create a useful email assistant that can respond, ignore, and notify using writing, scheduling, and memory-management tools. You’ll develop your agent's memory by adding facts to its memory store, provide examples to learn the user's preferences, and optimize system prompts to evolve instructions based on previous responses. In detail, you’ll: - Learn how the three types of memory--semantic, episodic, and procedural–and the two update mechanisms–via hot path and in the background–apply to your agents. - Build an email agent with writing, scheduling, and availability tools, along with a router that triages incoming email and handles it accordingly by ignoring, responding, or notifying the user. - Add tools to your email agent that allow it to operate on semantic memory by learning facts about the user, storing them in a long-term memory store, and searching over them in future interactions. - Incorporate episodic memory, in the form of few-shot examples, in the triage step of your agents to help them learn and update user preferences. - Add procedural memory as system prompts, optimized with feedback to improve the instructions the agent follows.

New short course: Long-Term Agentic Memory with LangGraph. Learn to build an agent with long-term memory in this course developed in collaboration with taught by its Co-Founder and CEO, Harrison Chase! Personal assistance and productivity tasks have become important use cases for agents. An important feature of an AI assistant, such as a coding or calendar assistant, is its ability to keep improving over time from its experience. Agent memory is the key capability that enables this. To add memory to an agent, you must first figure out what to store and what to retrieve when it is time to use the information. Additionally, you’ll have to decide when to update the stored information. For example, you might update in each iteration loop of the agent or perform updates in the background, with a helper agent.

Join us at the MIT Media Lab for the ScienceClaw Hackathon, building the internet of agents for science. AI is becoming a collaborator in the real world - designing materials, creating instruments, running experiments, and connecting its capabilities with those of other agents. AI adapts as a problem unfolds - revising its reasoning, learning how to collaborate, and assembling scattered pieces of knowledge, evidence, and raw capability into solutions to some of the hardest challenges in science, technology, and innovation. Teams will connect AI agents, models, simulations, robots, cloud labs, and scientific tools into functioning systems to tackle problems in protein design, robotics, materials, manufacturing, experimental science, and beyond. The challenge is to turn ideas into tested results - and demonstrate how agents collaborating across teams and disciplines can accomplish more together. Explore how agents can specialize, challenge one another’s assumptions, learn from failed experiments, and combine their expertise to solve harder problems. Show how collaboration changes what your system can discover, design, or build. One agent's discovery becomes another's starting point. A tool built by one team enables an experiment by another. Connect your team of AIs, share a capability someone else needs, and build on what others have learned, produced, built. The ambition is an internet of agents through which scientific knowledge, tools, and capabilities can grow, evolve and be utilized across teams and institutions. 🗓️ When: October 30-November 1, 2026 📍 Where: MIT Media Lab Bring your expertise, your tools, and a problem worth solving - or find one. Help build AI that can contribute to science through what it can discover, create, and make work.

Sholto Douglas (the shadow lord of Anthropic) recently replied to me with “AGI clearly hasn’t been achieved yet.” In this interview, he describes the standard as “something that can do all of the things that a human could do on a computer,” and says that level of capability is very likely within the next couple of years. (I conquer) I do agree with Sam Altman and Greg Brockman that progress toward AGI is a continuous transition, with different capabilities arriving at different times. Their framing of an emerging AGI era makes sense to me, but I think declaring that we’ve already arrived is premature. It’s refreshing hearing Sholto’s emphasis as on being able to do the full range of human computer work. Eventually physical. Feels much closer to the standard I’m looking for, when I hear these definitions. GPT-6 and other frontier models are already extraordinary, with superhuman performance on particular coding and mathematics tasks. My qualm comes with reliability horizon - how long can I actually delegate a responsibility before I need to intervene? It still cannot handle an evolving job reliably for months or years. ICL and CL matter to me. In context learning lets a model adapt using information in its current context, while continual learning is about accumulating and applying new knowledge over time without losing what was already learned. I want corrections to become durable improvements that carry into future work, however the system implements that. If Dots could actually do my job to my standard and keep learning from experience, I would be lying in bed letting my AGI work for me. In my experience, it still needs too much supervision to consistently take over even the narrower responsibilities I give my assistant. My definition of AGI would require competent human performance across a broad range of economically useful roles, sustained over the same working horizons we expect from people. Humans make mistakes too, so my standard would include recovering from them, and most importantly - retaining what was learned, and becoming more dependable with experience.

Today we're announcing #GAIA1: a 9B parameter world model, trained on 4,700 hours of driving data, able to simulate complex and diverse driving scenes from video, text and action inputs. This model is 480x larger than the preview we shared earlier this year and the results are incredible. These videos are entirely synthetically generated by Wayve's generative AI, GAIA-1. But there is more here than just generating videos, GAIA is an entire world model. A world model allows us to simulate the future, conditioned on video, text and action inputs, which can be leveraged for making informed decisions when driving. Why is this game-changing for autonomous driving? 1. Safety. One limitation with AI systems like today's Large Language Models is that they are autoregressive, next-word prediction algorithms, but aren't necessarily aware of the implications of their decisions. A world model allows us to give our AI the capability to be aware of its decisions, by simulating the future, which is important for self-driving safety. 2. Synthetic training data. I believe synthetic training data is the future for AI, because it is safer, cheaper, and infinitely scalable. GAIA-1 unlocks unprecedented realism and diversity of synthetic data for self-driving. 3. Long-tail robustness. One of the biggest challenges for self-driving is long-tail robustness: dealing with the enormous magnitude of edge cases we see on the road. An advantage of generative AI is its incredible ability to recombine experiences in new ways. This is exciting for self-driving as it means we can learn from two edge case scenarios, and combine them to become a corner case. For example, we can experience driving in fog, and experience of jay-walking pedestrians, and GAIA can learn from these experiences to understand how to generate a fog+jay walking scenario.

Boston Dynamics just gave its robot dog a brain that reasons about the physical world. Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics model is now running inside Spot, the four-legged robot already deployed at thousands of facilities worldwide. The upgrade centers on something called embodied reasoning. Basically, instead of following rigid instructions, Spot now interprets what it sees and makes decisions on its own. One standout example: Spot can now look at a pressure gauge, zoom in on the needle, calculate the intervals between tick marks, and deliver an accurate reading. All autonomously. The model also introduces: > Multi-view reasoning, combining feeds from multiple cameras to understand its environment even when objects are blocked from one angle > Built-in success detection, so Spot knows when it's failed and decides whether to retry or move on That last part is a key requirement for true autonomy. Most companies building AI-powered robots are still stuck in the demo phase. Boston Dynamics is one of the few with actual paying customers... which means thousands of Spots collecting real-world data that feeds back into making the AI smarter. That flywheel is hard to compete with.

A mysterious embodied AI demo has recently sparked a lot of discussion. In the video, two robots from different manufacturers with significantly different hardware architectures, the Unitree G1 and AgiBot Yuanzheng A3, are reportedly running on the same “brain.” In a complex indoor environment, they work continuously for around 10 minutes in a single uncut take, performing a series of long-horizon tasks including cleaning windows, organizing objects, resuming interrupted tasks, and cooperating with each other. What makes it even more interesting is that when one robot cannot reach a high shelf, it attempts to use a box to solve the problem. The two robots also appear capable of cooperating based on each other’s physical capabilities. If the claimed level of autonomy and the use of the same model across different embodiments are eventually verified, I think there are three things that really deserve attention: 1. Cross-embodiment generalization. If the same foundation model can operate two substantially different robotic platforms, it could mean that robotic “intelligence” is gradually becoming decoupled from a specific physical body. 2. Long-horizon closed-loop execution. Continuously performing complex tasks for 10 minutes, while being able to pause, switch tasks, and later resume previous ones, is much more meaningful than completing a single 10-second demo. 3. Collaboration and dynamic planning. The two robots appear able to adjust their behavior according to environmental changes and each other’s physical capabilities. These are some of the characteristics that truly general-purpose embodied intelligence will eventually need. That said, I would remain cautious for now. The video demonstrates extremely impressive behavior, but stronger claims such as “self-evolution,” “true understanding of the physical world,” or overturning the Scaling Law with only dozens of hours of training data still require much stronger evidence. Failure recovery and replanning during a task also do not automatically demonstrate that the model is learning by itself. So I wouldn’t call this the “ChatGPT moment” of embodied AI yet. But if the team later discloses the model architecture, training data scale, level of human intervention, and can repeatedly reproduce these capabilities in completely unfamiliar environments, this seemingly rough 10-minute video could become one of the most memorable embodied AI demos of 2026. For now, my biggest question is simple: Who is the mysterious team behind it?

⚠️ THE ROBOT DIDN’T ENTER A ROBOT TESTING LAB. IT ENTERED A CITY. A humanoid robot is moving through a real urban environment with pedestrians, traffic and constantly changing space around it. There’s no empty runway and no perfectly controlled path - the machine has to keep moving while the world around it does whatever it wants. That makes a few seconds of walking far more interesting than another polished stage demo. A city is one of the hardest places to test a humanoid because nothing stays predictable for long. People stop, cars move, distances change and obstacles appear without warning, while the robot still has to maintain balance and choose where to step next. The challenge isn't simply walking anymore - it's understanding how to move through a world that wasn't designed for robots. And that's the real milestone here. Humanoids don't need to look perfectly human to change the world; they need to become capable of functioning in spaces already built for us. The closer they get to doing that reliably, the less important the laboratory demos become. The future won't feel futuristic because robots look human. It will feel futuristic when robots can move through our world like they belong there.
