[Kineis IoT @KineisIoT]

The IoT market could reach 39B connected devices by 2030.

But the next wave isn’t about smart homes.

It’s about:

🏭 Industrial assets
🚢 Global logistics
⚡ Infrastructure monitoring
🌍 Environmental data

Satellite IoT will be key.

Read the outlook 👇

[Tim Farrar @TMFAssociates]

SpaceX's value and competitive advantage comes from lowering its own launch *costs* and taking advantage of that for its own payloads while keeping launch *prices* to others much higher...

[Tim Farrar @TMFAssociates]

Interesting piece on D2D from GSMA. Gets the physics and capacity limitations right, but doesn't resolve the inherent contradiction between the lack of indoor coverage and what that means for actual end user demand in rural unserved areas https://t.co/0ncbKgndSC

[Kineis IoT @KineisIoT]

🚀 From ambition to reality one year later.

A year ago, Kinéis completed the deployment of its 25-satellite constellation, marking a decisive step toward truly global IoT connectivity.

5 launches. 25 satellites. One powerful network designed to connect, monitor, and optimize operations anywhere on Earth.

Since then, this infrastructure has been transforming how industries operate: enabling smarter decisions, improving efficiency, and expanding possibilities in even the most remote environments.

At Kinéis, we don’t just launch satellites we create impact.

AT&T has made an unfortunate habit of backing the wrong horse whenever it gets involved in the satellite business (viz TerreStar, DirecTV, OneWeb, AST)...

Here is a sharing of career & survival resources that really helped me navigate the research career in #NLProc and #AI: https://t.co/vzsyMGnQK6

Huge thanks to the researchers & profs who wrote such thoughtful guides for our community 🙏

PRs are very welcome to keep it growing🌱

[Alex Dimakis @AlexGDimakis]

If you've lost track of startups coming out of
UC Berkeley Sky Lab raising in the last 3 weeks:
SGLang (RadixArk) raised at 400m valuation
VLLM (Inferact) at 150m at 800m valuation
LMArena raised 150m at 1.7B valuation.

Not too bad for impact in January 2026.

🌟NEW PAPER🌟
Do you know that changing a visual marker from red to blue can completely reorder VLM leaderboards? In our most recent work, we explore the fragility of visually prompted benchmarks. https://t.co/Kck6w7Vvf6

[Hannah @HEchenoz]

@talzuss @linuxplumbers Nice work! Congrats!!🎉
On top of your kernel-level eviction work, our CacheCatalyst (to appear at nsdi) can be applied at the application layer to eliminate browser cache re-validation RTTs. Together they'd optimize caching end-to-end. Happy to chat if you see potential synergy.

[Ming Jin @MingJin_AI]

We had a fantastic session with Dr. Diyi Yang (@Diyi_Yang) from @StanfordNLP
@StanfordAILab to close out our fall lineup! 🌲

She shared incredible insights on Socially Responsible AI Agents and how we can align LLMs with diverse human values.

[Megaconstellations 🌍📡🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️ @Megaconstellati]

Observations from the first low level radio information from @Starlink D2D service with @TMobile in the US:
1⃣Sat network uses MCC/MNC tuple 310-830
2⃣Signal quality is poor - at this level each cell won't deliver more than 1-3Mbps (shared by all users)
3⃣Yet network is configured for 2×2 MIMO (using multiple sats?)
4⃣Samsung firmware seems to identify the network as "SAT" (also note 🛰️ next to signal bars)
