This is from a popular inference provider

GLM-5.2 plus the US banning the most capable new models means open source caught up to SOTA closed source coding models

This could be v problematic for Anthropic’s and OpenAI’s revenue projections and IPO plans…

The strongest models are gated and access is granted only to a select few.

Hermes Agent now exposes MoA presets as virtual models, giving you capabilities beyond the publicly available frontier: 8% higher than Opus 4.8 and 11% higher than GPT 5.5 on our upcoming benchmark.

@Teknium hell ya

@p_maverick_b by "like this" i don't mean cat allergy products 😂

i mean like, bioproducts, biotech-infused, science-first wacky products (especially those with wacky, thoughtful, human branding/design)

[vvampa ⚶ @vvampastompa]

@p_maverick_b we have hella sphynx cats because of allergies, but this is so cool. probably especially for people with cats who have allergic family members/friends who visit.

i wish there was a list of products like this. i would buy & try ALL of them....... it's a fun pastime

We’ve won AI-based Drug Discovery Solution of the Year in the @AI Breakthrough Awards! 

Our autonomous lab is driving the future of AI-powered scientific discovery by pairing frontier models with laboratory infrastructure to solve the real bottleneck in drug discovery: the speed of experimentation.

Read about the award here: https://t.co/lkaEBm7gDS 

Earlier this year, we collaborated with @OpenAI to run 36,000 cell-free protein synthesis experiments and cut reaction costs by 40% versus the state-of-the-art.

Masa you crazy genius.

Want to share these slides with every biotech founder and investor I know.

[James Rosen-Birch ⚖️🕊️ @provisionalidea]

imagine needing brownout-level quantities of energy to run a model trained on all written human text that struggles to match the problem-solving ability of a bee, and to still think a biological substrate is inferior.

@SynBio1 IP is satan. but it's OUR satan

[vvampa ⚶ @vvampastompa]

@CooKeMonter @SynBio1 sheesh... quite a story. poor Simon.

[vvampa ⚶ @vvampastompa]

@CooKeMonter i am personally ok relying on calculators instead of mental math, GPS apps instead of being astrolabe-competant, AI for all coding (i'm not a coder), etc. i know the skills i want, & i make a conscious effort to go to the relevant "gyms" to keep the skills maintained/growing.

[vvampa ⚶ @vvampastompa]

@CooKeMonter we need to be sure we don't unconsciously atrophy EVERYTHING just bc it's the easy thing to do

but i think SOME level of atrophy is okay
coders should routinely go to the "coding gym" if they're using AI a lot. doctors need a "doctor gym." etc.

gotta be conscious, though...

$RDW: Advancing the Future of Space Robotics with STAARK and MANUS

Redwire's Luxembourg team is developing two robotic manipulators that showcase Redwire’s expertise across orbital and lunar environments:

🛰️ STAARK (Space Technology Arm for Advanced Robotic Knowledge)
Designed Low Earth Orbit, STAARK is a modular, customizable robotic arm built to support a wide range of space missions from inspection and in-space assembly to servicing and debris removal.

Recent demonstrations have shown its ability to autonomously track and grasp dynamic objects.

🌕 MANUS (Manipulator for Argonaut Payload Needs and Unloading Support)
Developed for the European Space Agency’s Argonaut lunar lander, MANUS is designed to support cargo handling and logistics on the Moon.

The system enables loading, unloading, positioning, and retrieval of equipment and scientific payloads, helping pave the way for a sustained human and robotic presence on the lunar surface.

As space missions become more ambitious, advanced robotics will be essential to building, maintaining, and expanding humanity’s presence beyond Earth.
