there’s a huge opportunity for an AI-native robotics SI.

as the physical economy (restaurants, factories, etc) adopts robotics, companies will need help making it actually work.

process planning, compliance, hardware customization, sensor feedback loops, and way more.

Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs: make prototypes, slides, and one-pagers by talking to Claude.

Powered by Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable vision model. Available in research preview on the Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, rolling out throughout the day.

for this to happen - for the public to excitedly embrace AI - companies and capital must flow to more obviously inspired missions.

“accelerating workflows” etc may be good business. but it will be progress in healthcare, ag, space, etc that galvanizes everyday Americans.

Computer use models are driving cars like a video game and you’re black-pilling??

Get it together, anon!

[Standard Intelligence @si_pbc]

Computer use models shouldn't learn from screenshots.

We built a new foundation model that learns from video like humans do. FDM-1 can construct a gear in Blender, find software bugs, and even drive a real car through San Francisco using arrow keys.

the ideal desktop

[Zarif Azher @ZarifAzher]

astronomical AI valuations in startups assume rocketship AI adoption throughout the economy.

but such growth will likely take far longer than current valuations price it at. ex: dot com value realized in 15 years, not 5.

in most verticals, real value isn’t unlocked overnight.

recent CNC quote

cheapest American shop: $800

cheapest Chinese shop: $350 + $400 for tariffs

reindustrialization must push down American costs so it makes sense to go domestic. tariffs to inflate foreign pricing is not the way to compete.

@i2cjak @diodeinc will get there first
