A single robot vacuum for one home costs $549 to $1,399 at retail. To sweep your floor.

A family with two floors buys two units. That is up to $2,798.

And the Clean Base bags run out. Replace them and you pay extra.

Side brushes: $19.99 for a 3-pack on iRobot's own store.
Filters: $36.99 for a 3-pack.
Dirt disposal bags: $12.93 for a 3-pack.

You are subscribing to floor cleaning in 2026.

iRobot was once a $3.5 billion company built on this pricing model. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2025. A Chinese contract manufacturer named Picea Robotics now owns 100 percent of it.

Now meet OOMWOO.

A free and open source alternative to Roomba.

Created in June 2026 by a California founder named Dr. Ilia Ovsiannikov. Former Samsung engineer. 70 patents. He architected Samsung's second-generation neural inference accelerator for smartphones. Then he open sourced the whole robot.

44 days later the repo has 5,548 stars and 235 forks. No VCs. No paywalls.

Here is what OOMWOO gives you:

- 3D-printed chassis with full CAD files
- 2D LiDAR mapping and SLAM navigation
- ROS2 and Nav2 autonomous cleaning stack
- Native Home Assistant integration for local control
- ESP32 firmware and Raspberry Pi 5 brain
- Gazebo simulator to test before you build
- Apache 2.0 license, fork it, sell it, reuse it

Here is what OOMWOO costs:

The price of the parts you buy yourself. No subscription. Unlimited runs. Unlimited maps.

Roomba stores your home map in the iRobot cloud. OOMWOO stores it on your Pi.
Roomba j-series carries a camera. OOMWOO does not.
Roomba features can be changed by the new owner in Shenzhen. OOMWOO is Apache 2.0.

Here is the wildest part:

In 2020, iRobot Roombas captured a photo of a woman on the toilet. Gig workers in Venezuela labeling the data for Scale AI posted 15 of the images to Facebook and Discord. MIT Technology Review broke the story in December 2022. iRobot has shared over 2 million images with data annotation firms.

Your map never leaves your Raspberry Pi. Your floor plan. Your daily routine.

For one apartment, you save $549.
For a two-floor family, you save $2,798.

100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

3 years ago we started as a tiny experiment with the goal of helping you learn faster.

Since then, we grew to bring audio, video, and interactivity to your sources, transitioning from a passive workspace to your true research companion.

And now, notebooks have even become an entire ecosystem: you can already access them in the @GeminiApp and soon in Google Search

So, with these advancements, it’s time for us to evolve once again:

NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook ✨📓

The same app you know and love isn’t going anywhere, we just have an updated name that reflects our role in Google's AI portfolio.

And our mission stays exactly the same: helping you learn, faster.

Thank you for believing in us— this wouldn't have been possible without your passion (and feature requests...)

Big things to come (yes, even folders📂!) so stay tuned.

Sincerely,

The Project Tailwind team

I know people making $8 million a year that are fucking miserable and hate their life. and I have friends who make $67,000 a year, loving life.. four softball teams and love it.

I don’t give a fuck how much money you make. Do you feel pumped as fuck when you wake up??

Gemini 3.5 Pro is going to surprise a lot of people.

Google has not shipped a frontier model in 6 MONTHS.

Everyone is counting them out.

Look at the chart instead. Every green square is a Google release. They ship less often than any lab. And every single time it is a huge jump straight back to the frontier.

Silence, then leapfrog. The pattern has never broken.

If this pattern continues Gemini 3.5 Pro could outperform GPT 5.6 and Fable 5.

I am bullish on Gemini 3.5 Pro.

[BridgeMind @bridgemindai]

New CursorBench results just dropped and Grok 4.5 is the story.

#3 overall at 66.7%. Right behind Fable 5 Max at 70.5%.

Now look at the cost column.

Fable 5 Max: $17.32 per task
Grok 4.5 High: $1.51 per task

That is Fable level performance at roughly 1/10th the cost.

And it beats Fable 5 High and Opus 4.8 Max outright.

The intelligence war just became a price war.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Based on strong positive feedback from customers in our beta test program, @SpaceXAI will make Grok 4.5 available to the public tomorrow.

It is an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost.

If you can choose where to work, work somewhere that will help invest in your Trump account. $5k/yr will leave you with $13M at 55. Sorry, but that’s a huge amount of money.

If you have this choice but don’t want that because it’s called a “Trump Account”, you’re a retard.

100% irresponsible retard.

That’s your kids speaking btw.

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband have announced that they are donating ~$325 million of SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts for more than two million children across the U.S.

Every one of those kids will now have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀

Anthropic Engineer Andrej Karpathy:

"The biggest mistake in AI right now - people are forcing agents to work instead of mastering the model first

We made that mistake in 2016 at OpenAI - It cost us 5 years "

what Karpathy actually means:

step 1 → stop forcing your agent to do everything, understand the model underneath first

step 2 → demos are easy - products take a decade. self-driving proved it - if you skip the foundation, everything breaks

step 3 → the agent is not the product. the foundation is. build that - and agents emerge on their own

"you building agents right now - you're at the forefront. not OpenAI. not DeepMind. you "

Someone on Reddit just shared the smartest Fable 5 tip I have seen since it came back. 🤯

Before Fable 5 moves to pay-per-use, use it to write skills for Opus 4.8.

Let Fable 5 teach Opus how to think. Before it gets expensive.

That idea alone is worth sitting with.

But here is everything else you should do with Fable 5 right now.

→ Give it your hardest problem. Not your easiest. It is built for work that takes humans days.

→ One big brief beats twenty small ones. Full context. Full constraints. First message.

→ Set effort to High by default. Reserve XHigh for your most complex work only.

→ Give it a memory file. A simple markdown where it stores lessons between sessions.

→ Tell it to verify its own work before reporting progress. Kills fake status updates instantly.

→ Delete your old Opus prompts. They are too prescriptive for Fable 5 and will hurt output.

→ Use Fable 5 now to write skills for Opus 4.8. Let the best model teach
the everyday model how to think.

That last one is free leverage hiding in plain sight.
