BREAKING: MICROSOFT JUST ANNOUNCED TO BAN ITS OWN ENGINEERS FROM USING AI DUE TO THE COST OF USING IT.
VP OF NVIDIA SAID, “THE COST OF AI FOR MY TEAM WAS MORE THAN HUMANS”
“AI CAN COST MORE THAN HUMAN WORKERS NOW”
Ilya Sutskever just dropped a bombshell: The scaling era is DEAD.
"Scaling is just one word" — but from 2020–2025 it brainwashed the entire industry.
Pour more compute + data → predictable gains. Low-risk gold rush for companies.
Now? Data is finite. Returns are flattening hard.
The easy money party is over — we're crashing back into the age of research, with giant computers that won't save you if the ideas suck.

So it begins: China deploys humanoid robots at border 24/7
China has signed a 264 million yuan (~$37 million) deal to deploy UBTech’s Walker S2 humanoid robots at the Fangchenggang border with Vietnam, where they’ll handle personnel flow, inspections, and logistics in harsh, remote conditions around the clock.
These 176 cm, 70 kg robots walk at about 2 m/s, can autonomously hot-swap their batteries in under 3 minutes for true 24/7 operation.
Chinese scientists unveil a superfast analog chip, 1000x faster than top digital processors. It solves complex maths for AI & science, outperforming even NVIDIA's GPUs in tests.
The race for the best computing power is entering its next phase.
Googles Project Suncatcher aims to build data centers (TPUs) in space by 2027! Project Suncatcher makes it possible.
It's absolutely incredible how daring and forward-thinking Google is!
Remember the humanoid robot used for hotel cleaning? Customers are already using it.
Zerith Robotics, a startup from Hefei, has deployed multiple Zerith H1 robots in shopping malls, office buildings, and supermarkets in cities like Hefei Airport, Hefei Gas Building, and Shenzhen MixC, acting as cleaners and sales assistants.
The Zerith H1 can autonomously perform cleaning tasks such as cleaning toilets, mopping floors, and wiping sinks. In supermarkets, it carries a shopping basket, autonomously picks up snacks, and automatically processes orders.
From experimentation to trial use and real-world deployment, Zerith has built it into a commercial humanoid robot service solution, already used in over 20 landmark locations, and plans to expand to more cities like Hangzhou and Shanghai.
From a commercial service reliability perspective, wheeled humanoid robots are being prioritized by customers.
It is worth mentioning that Zerith was officially established in January of this year by a young team from the Tsinghua AI Robotics Laboratory. Last year, they successively launched Zerith Z1 (bipedal) and Zerith H1 (wheeled).
Germany.. is back?
Germany’s Agile Robotics just dropped “Agile One”—a full-size humanoid that can already pick tiny screws, tap touchscreens, and “feel” its way around, trained entirely in the real world with AI
We’ve developed a new way to train small AI models with internal mechanisms that are easier for humans to understand.
Language models like the ones behind ChatGPT have complex, sometimes surprising structures, and we don’t yet fully understand how they work.
This approach helps us begin to close that gap.

Let's freaking go! This is so freaking huge:
Googles new 27B-model predicted a new potential cancer therapy for the first time: it discovered that the drug silmitasertib (CX-4945) only enhances antigen presentation under certain immune conditions, in other words, it can make tumors more “visible” to the immune system. This hypothesis was confirmed experimentally.
"C2S-Scale generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior and we have since confirmed its prediction with experimental validation in living cells
(...)
This result provides a blueprint for a new kind of biological discovery — predictive models of cellular behavior powerful enough to discover context-conditioned biology and generate biologically-grounded hypotheses."
It can't be much longer until every cancer will be fully treatable.
