6. World’s First Biocomputer?! 🧠💻
Cortical Labs revealed CL1, the world's first commercial biocomputer that merges human brain cells & silicon for adaptive computing. It is a chip with real, living neurons.
Best part? It outperformed SOTA models like DQN and PPO...
...after just 5 minutes of gameplay training. Brain cells > code?
7. Sanctuary AI: Robots Can Now Feel 😮
Meet Phoenix by Sanctuary AI, the humanoid robot with tactile sensors.
Now it can feel textures, pressure, and manipulate objects kahit walang visual input.
Yes, even “blind picking” kaya na. Next level sensory skills!
8. Alibaba’s Qwen Just Dropped a Reasoning Beast 🧠⚡
Say hello to QwQ-32B, a reasoning AI na mas matalino and mas tipid than DeepSeek-R1.
📏 20x smaller than R1
💻 Supports coding with Artifacts
💸 Costs only $0.20 per million tokens
🆓 Free and open-source under Apache 2.0
Budget-friendly + brainy = bestie.
9. DiffRhythm: AI Music Generator 🎶
ASLP Labs launched DiffRhythm, a song-generation model that makes full 4-minute tracks in 10 seconds.

No need for music theory. Just vibes.
10. Convergence AI: Agent Templates, but Make it a Marketplace 🧠
They launched Template Hub for their Proxy agents.
Basically, users can turn tasks into templates and share them with the community.
Think “AI Task Recipes” na may usage stats.
11. Spaceo: Industrial Humanoid From India 🇮🇳
MUKS Robotics debuted Spaceo, a heavy-duty humanoid robot prototype.
⚙️ 200kg payload
🦾 7 DOF arms w/ 10kg lifting power

🧠 Uses FusionMax Omni-Modal AI
Pwede mo nang ipa-buhat ng ref!
12. UBTECH’s Swarm Intelligence: Robots Working as a Team
China’s UBTECH dropped a “BrainNet” system.
Watch: Their Walker S1 humanoids work together to move big crates in Zeekr’s factory.
Basically, teamwork makes the AI work.
13. Reachy 2: Sorting Food, No Training Needed 🍎🍟
Pollen Robotics shared a clip of Reachy 2, sorting healthy vs. unhealthy food...
...WITHOUT AI training.
Just real-time object detection using their open-source SDK.
Salamat, AI nutritionist!
14. Proception: AI Hands From Stealth Mode 🖐️
Proception finally came out of stealth.
They’re building a dexterous humanoid hand trained with real-world human data.
So yes, the robots might literally have a better grip than you.
Final Thoughts 🧠💥
Grabe ‘no? AI and robotics are moving so fast, parang one update away na lang from having robot kapitbahays.
See you next week for another round of brain-blowing breakthroughs!
Don’t forget to share this sa techie mong tropa!
