I’m convinced now 👀

We’ll see a fully autonomous AI researcher by the end of this year. Choosing what to investigate, running experiments and working through failures without a human steering every step. Astra is making that timeline hard to dismiss.

Expertise is no longer only about knowing the right answer.

In AI-driven work, it also depends on asking better questions, reading context, and adapting judgment when conditions change.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about which fundamental skills are worth developing for the AI-native age.

One observation stuck with me: many people can speak fluently; but much rarer is the ability to convey a deep idea in just a handful of precise words.

[Mustafa @oprydai]

any sufficiently advanced engineering is indistinguishable from art.

[Toru @ToruO_O]

Congrats @micoolcho @chris_j_paxton @DJiafei and thanks for having me as the #3 guest! Was fun chatting about sim-to-real dexterous manipulation 😄

Amazing to see how much the AI robotics community has grown since then. Look forward to the next 100 episodes!

GPT-6 Astra is AGI 🤯🤯🤯https://t.co/6Mvya8G1PS

[VraserX e/acc @VraserX]

Greg Brockman is now openly saying GPT-6 Astra may be AGI. 🤯

He literally ended the briefing with: “Welcome to the AGI era.”

And Astra/Aeon access is coming to users in the next few days.

This is getting very real.

Life, uh, finds a way

Fuuuuuuuck yes this is a good year

DLR and TUM developed eBert, a 5.2 kg, 12-DOF quadruped that uses the physics of its own body to generate locomotion.

Researchers identified six nonlinear motion modes in the robot’s spring-loaded mechanics, then excited those modes with a relatively simple controller.

The result was naturally emerging gait patterns including pacing, trotting, bounding and hopping.

In some modes, the springs supplied up to 80% of the positive mechanical work. Four of the six predicted modes were successfully reproduced on the physical robot.

A strong example of how robot morphology and compliant mechanics can reduce how much locomotion has to come from active control.

[The Scientific Lens @LensScientific]

What actually happens when a neural network learns?

It starts by making a prediction. The difference between that prediction and the desired answer becomes the loss. Backpropagation then works backward through the network, using the chain rule to determine how much each weight and bias contributed to that error. An optimizer uses those gradients to adjust the parameters, and the process repeats, often millions of times.

[Shay Boloor @StockSavvyShay]

$NVDA told JPMorgan that “without supply constraints, the business could more than double YoY” even against its already aggressive ~70% FY28 growth estimates.

The more interesting part is why Nvidia gave that outlook so early since management believed Street estimates were low enough that they could actually distort supply-chain planning.

So FY28 guide wasn’t just about resetting investor expectations but was also a message to the semiconductor ecosystem to start planning for a much larger demand curve.

Here’s the first podcast I’ve ever done! It was a joy to speak with Vatsal and Jake.

We discuss the neuroscience that underpins my research, how grokking works, and what AI means for the future of human creativity. Much of this I haven’t spoken publicly about until now.

MediaTek and @nvidia today announced an expansion of their collaboration across AI infrastructure, local AI computing and automotive.

MediaTek will adopt the NVIDIA NVLink Fusion platform, providing hyperscalers, cloud service providers and frontier model developers a more scalable, flexible and faster path from custom XPU design to rack-scale AI factories.
