While @SpaceX was launching rockets we were using @Starlink to remotely inference our excavator robot model that we trained with 2.5 hours of operator data.

We are teaching heavy machines to do real tasks on job sites by learning from real operators in the wild. Soon, we will be expanding to more tasks and machines. Our model is built off of @physical_int's π0.5.

I just visited a company in Finland that can turn any transparent surface — windows, glasses, plastic, anything — into a 3D display that perfectly augments what you see behind it.

Welcome to Distance . One of the most exciting companies in Europe right now. And they're only two years old.

We're not talking about a tiny rectangle in the corner of your windshield. The entire glass becomes your screen.

They showed this to Kia's design team. It led to a concept car with a full edge-to-edge 3D windshield that paints navigation onto the actual road, shows you what the car sees, highlights threats, and yes, could theoretically replace every Pepsi billboard with a Coke one.

But the defense side is where it gets serious.

As a neighbor to Russia, Finland feels the pain of Ukraine very directly. The Distance team wanted to be part of the solution.

Their field operator headset gives soldiers jet fighter-grade situational awareness.

Any sensor (thermal, infrared, multispectral) overlaid onto what you actually see. Tested in over a dozen field trials with the Finnish army. Driving armored vehicles in arctic conditions in the middle of the night with full 3D perception.
The field operator headset effectively allows soldiers to see through smoke, and with extra cameras even behind walls.

Some of what they showed us had never been shown publicly before.  And there's more cooking under the hood they couldn't share yet.

Two years in. Moving at the speed of light. Welcome to Europe!

Out of all the announcements at @Google I/O today, this is the one closest to my heart - our foundational research on Co-Scientist was published in @Nature and we announced its broad availability via @GeminiApp for Science.

When you are suffering from a disease, time is everything. As our collaborator and @StanfordMed Professor Dr. Gary Peltz reminds us, there are thousands of diseases out there with zero treatments. There is simply so much left to solve.

Our goal with Co-Scientist has been to give scientists superpowers and help them get to these answers faster - compressing the scientific process from months and years down to hours and days.

Much like Galileo's telescope helped us look into the stars, Co-Scientist is designed to help us make sense of the vast complexity of biological and scientific data. It is among the first examples of a truly general-purpose multi-agent system for scientific discovery.

The core research question behind it was: How can an AI system engage in the rigorous, structured thinking that’s the hallmark of science and scientists?

To tackle this, Co-Scientist builds on the principles of self-play and self-improvement underpinning @GoogleDeepMind breakthroughs like AlphaGo, generalizing them to scientific reasoning through self-debates.

Since our preprint last year, we have further improved its capabilities and have been validating it in collaborations with scientists across over 100 institutions globally, spanning both academia and industry.

And we are thrilled to see the emergence of a new form of AI-human scientist collaboration that's already leading to important new insights, discoveries and peer reviewed publications - from understanding antimicrobial resistance (published in @CellCellPress) to decoding plant immunity, to identifying new treatments for liver fibrosis (Advanced Science), cancer, neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and the grand challenge of aging.

I have always believed AI's greatest promise is accelerating scientific discovery and advancing human health.

My genuine hope for the future is that AI tools like Co-Scientist help democratize science, giving anyone, anywhere the means to pursue their child-like curiosity and change the world.

This work was done with stellar team mates spanning @GoogleDeepMind @GoogleResearch, @googlecloud and @GoogleLabs especially Juro Gottweis (@Mysiak ), who is the heart and soul of this effort.

Special thanks also to all our wonderful collaborators: Gary Peltz, @CostaT_Lab, @jrpenades, @_e_d_v_ , @iambyronic, @OpsBug, @jgooten, @omarabudayyeh Ritu Raman, Ryan Flynn, Filippo Menolascina, Velia Siciliano, Clare Bryant, Matt Onsum, Katherine Labbé and more.

Every generation thinks the next machine will replace humanity.

The tractor.
Electricity.
The computer.
The internet.

Now AI.

But history says something different.

When the cost of intelligence drops, human ambition expands.

That’s the part most people miss.

The recent a16z article on the “AI Job Apocalypse” made one thing very clear:

AI is not deleting work.
It’s reallocating work. (https://t.co/1LseIZltyh)

Routine tasks shrink.
Higher leverage work grows.

The spreadsheet didn’t eliminate finance.
The internet didn’t eliminate business.
The smartphone didn’t eliminate communication.

They created entirely new industries.

AI will do the same.

The winners in this era will not be the people fighting AI.

It will be the people using AI to amplify judgment, creativity, speed, and execution.

One person with AI can now:
- build a company faster
- launch products faster
- learn faster
- create content faster
- solve problems faster

We are entering an age where intelligence becomes abundant.

And when intelligence becomes abundant, execution becomes the new scarcity.

That changes everything.

The most optimistic part?

A teenager with a laptop now has capabilities that once required entire corporations.

That is not dystopian.
That is empowering.

Yes, some jobs will disappear.
Every technological revolution reshapes labor.

But new industries are already emerging:
AI operators.
AI strategists.
AI workflow architects.
Human-AI collaboration designers.
Autonomous business builders.

The future belongs to people who adapt early.

Not people who panic early.

AI is not the end of human value.

It’s the beginning of a new operating system for civilization.

And the people who learn to work with intelligence instead of competing against it will build the next generation of companies, wealth, and breakthroughs.

The industrial revolution multiplied physical power.

AI multiplies cognitive power.

That’s a far bigger shift.

How AI Is Changing the Network(s)

As is always the case, this started with a simple question: Will AI change how networks work? Will it impact the speeds we need at home and on our phones?

My assumption was that AI would accelerate this — personal AI agents querying the cloud all day, your house talking constantly to a model (or models). A lot of this is still wishful thinking.

My attempt to find an answer led me down a whole new path of inquiry, with surprising results. The real action is happening far away from the madding consumer crowds. None of this was surprising, considering I have covered the evolution of the internet and its innards since the early 1990s.

Internet 1.0, Internet 2.0, the cloud, mobile, data and machine learning, and now AI are all part of a continuum that has challenged and scaled the network, helped evolve new technologies, and introduced new ways of thinking about ever-expanding oceans of data.

AI is only supersizing everything, including the sheer scale of capital it needs to build competitive advantage. It is also bringing down the curtain on some of the old ways of thinking about the cloud, data centers, and networks. If my old publication were still around, we would be writing about all of this and more.

Over the past few weeks, with help from old friends in the networking and infrastructure world, I have managed to put together an almost 5,000-word overview of the changes to the network. I look at the physical pipes, the shifting demand profile, and who really owns this new internet.

It is by no means complete — nor is it meant to be. Instead, it is an anchoring essay for you to think beyond the dollars and the hype machine of AI, and see that this is just tech doing tech things at a scale we have never seen before.

BOOOOM!

I was just gifted by the lone family member of the original owner of THEO. AUDEL & CO has donated the entire micro film of all the publications exclusive to me and my AI models!

THIS IS THE GOLD STANDARD OF TROUBLE SHOOTING THINKING.

Of course the data itself is valuable.

But the absolute high protein can-do ethos is what we are capturing. The process of thinking in these manuals just do not occur in our epoch at this scale.

And now I will curate this for eternity on to a foundation to AGI.

All open source at some point.

Today we’re introducing a new Legal Agent in @Microsoft Word, built to support the precision and rigor legal work demands. Every clause matters. Every redline tells a story. That’s why this agent was built to follow the structured workflows lawyers use while keeping them fully in control.

Early in my career, I asked for a computer on my desk because I believed technology could change how lawyers work. It did. Today, I believe this next generation of tools will do the same, grounded in trust and responsible use.

So why do pitchers keep breaking?
Maybe the issue isn’t the player.
Maybe it’s the model.
