I'm excited to share that the digital version of “Institutional Genes: The Origins of China’s Institutions and Totalitarianism” is now released and available on Amazon! The hardcover edition, however, is experiencing a slight delay again.
Amazing to see the generality & dexterity of Gemini Robotics in a model small enough to run directly on a robot. Incredible speed & performance even in areas with low connectivity. Excited to continue this momentum to make robots more helpful & useful to people

OpenAI o3-mini is a good model, but DeepSeek r1 is similar performance, still cheaper, and reveals its reasoning.
Better models will come (can't wait for o3pro), but the "DeepSeek moment" is real. I think it will still be remembered 5 years from now as a pivotal event in tech history, due in-part to the geopolitical implications but for many other reasons too.
All this discussed in 5 hour technical podcast I just recorded on the state of AI industry. Out tomorrow (hopefully).
