Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Inst have developed a generalist AI model that learns to control the Atlas humanoid robot's arms and legs from a range of example actions. Robots ordinarily use one model to walk and jump, and another to grasp items. (W) https://www.wired.com/...

Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute develop a large behavior model that enables more natural-seeming movement and “emergent skills” in humanoid robots

Atlas, Boston Dynamics' dancing humanoid, can now use a single model for walking and grasping—a significant step toward general-purpose robot algorithms.

Some physicists are skeptical about Microsoft's claims of achieving a quantum computing breakthrough with Majorana 1, citing the lack of detailed evidence

contrary to what you may have read in some other places  —  www.nature.com/articles/d41... Elizabeth Gibney / @lizziegibney : By far the most informative and nuanced take you will ...

AI companies, running out of conventional training datasets from the web, may be forced to shift from big, all-purpose LLMs to smaller, more specialized models

why human-sourced data can help prevent AI model collapse Matthias Bastian / The Decoder : OpenAI co-founder says AI is reaching “peak data” as it hits the limits of the internet K...

Chiplets offer China a way to circumvent US export bans on advanced microchips. Chiplets are modular, w/ each performing a dedicated function. They're connected to form one system. They're smaller, more specialized, cheaper to fab and more reliable. (TR) https://www.technologyreview.com/ ...

How chiplets could let Chinese companies circumvent US sanctions; China and local VCs have focused on propping up the domestic chiplet industry in the past year

By connecting several less-advanced chips into one, Chinese companies could circumvent the sanctions set by the US government.
