Breakthrough: Physical Intelligence (π) Have Created "GPT for Robots"

Meet π0 (pi-zero) - the first AI that lets robots understand human commands just like ChatGPT, but for physical tasks.

Watch it fold laundry, clean tables, and assemble boxes like a pro.

The future where we can simply tell robots what to do - and they'll figure out how to do it - is finally here.

Meta FAIR announced 3 new cutting-edge developments in robotics and touch perception — and a new benchmark for human-robot collaboration to enable future work in this space.

1. Meta Sparsh is the first general-purpose encoder for vision-based tactile sensing that works across many tactile sensors and many tasks. Trained on 460K+ tactile images using self-supervised learning. 

2. Meta Digit 360 is a breakthrough artificial fingertip-based tactile sensor, equipped with 18+ sensing features to deliver detailed touch data with human-level precision and touch-sensing capabilities.

3. Meta Digit Plexus is a standardized platform for robotic sensor connections and interactions. It provides a hardware-software solution to integrate tactile sensors on a single robot hand and enables seamless data collection, control and analysis over a single cable.

Also Meta released PARTNR: a benchmark for Planning And Reasoning Tasks in humaN-Robot collaboration. Built on Habitat 3.0, it’s the largest benchmark of its kind to study and evaluate human-robot collaboration in household activities.
Huggingface made an 11T magical training set that made 3 different SOTA models.

The best 135M, 360M, 1.7B models to date.
Systems of Agents will become the new source of truth for enterprises.

As they capture and act on information at its source, understand the full context of business communication, and continuously learn from every interaction, they'll generate richer, more accurate data than traditional systems ever could.

The old boundaries between data entry, engagement, and analysis won't just blur - they'll become irrelevant.

The winners in this new era won't be those who build better UX or smarter "predictive" analytics. They'll be those who create systems that think, learn, and act with the fluidity of human teams while operating at machine scale. They'll be those who recognize that the future of enterprise software isn't about making better tools - it's about creating digital workers that truly understand and enhance how business gets done.

The era of separated systems is ending. The age of Systems of Agents has begun.

Deutsche Telekom is testing Bitcoin mining using excess energy

Monetising excess energy through BTC mining, and thereby facilitating the built-out of renewable energy/stabilizing the grid has been an industry talking point for years.

If successful at scale, it could be a game changer for Germany's energy transition and serve as alternative to energy storage or the conversion of excess energy to gas (both in their early days and not without their challenges).

Deutsche Telekom has been running various validator nodes for other proof-of-stake networks, and a bitcoin node for quite a while too.
China is once again ahead of the US: Tencent released a 389B MoE with only 52B activated parameters which beats the Llama 3.1 405B
Nvidia has had discussions to invest in xAI at around $45 billion

The 18-month-old startup has developed Grok, a chatbot that aims to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It’s building a massive data center in Memphis using Nvidia’s chips that has caused concern among rivals including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, The Information has reported.

Nvidia has invested in numerous AI startups that use its chips, though it hasn’t written large checks to startups the way Microsoft, Google and Amazon have.
Researchers built an 'empathy mechanism' into an agent's architecture with a technique that mirrors neurons.

So here (in a simple grid world) the reward comes from the agent's own emotional response through dopamine modulation, rather than from external rules or rewards.

Cool approach to drive altruistic behavior, but less clear how that might apply to language models over SNNs.
Parse introduced GigaLab: Revolutionizing Single Cell Research

Parse's GigaLab is breaking barriers with its groundbreaking ability to analyze over 10 million cells in a single run.

Why is this huge?
- Single cell research has been exploding, with studies doubling in size yearly
- Scientists can now explore cellular interactions at an unprecedented scale
- Powered by innovative Evercode technology and advanced automation

Real-world impact:
- Accelerating drug discovery and development
- Enhanced screening capabilities for new treatments
- Powering machine learning algorithms to predict patient therapy responses
- Opening doors to research previously deemed impossible

Think of it as a microscope on steroids – but instead of looking at one cell, you're analyzing millions simultaneously!

This isn't just about bigger numbers; it's about unlocking new possibilities in understanding diseases, developing treatments, and ultimately, saving lives.

This is what the future of biomedical research looks like. Welcome to the era of mega-scale cellular analysis! 🚀
