Alex Zanardi, the Italian auto racing champion-turned-Paralympic gold medalist whose career was marked by two life-altering accidents, has died. He was 59.

📹WATCH: Anthropic CFO Krishna Rao's First Podcast Appearance Krishna reveals how Anthropic uses Claude internally to make business process effective including automating financial statements and monthly reviews that are now reportedly “90% complete” before human oversight. Rao added that Anthropic’s Head of Tax has become the company’s biggest Claude power user, using the model to help build an internal tax policy engine.

An early beta of Grok Build, an agentic CLI for coding, building apps, and automating workflows is now available for SuperGrok Heavy subscribers. Through this early beta, we will improve the model and product based on your feedback. Try it at

We are entering an extremely exciting era for open-weight models. Kimi K2.6 now feels like a top agentic model. I took it for a spin via @FireworksAI_HQ fast inference APIs. Kimi K2.6 has impressive agentic capabilities, design skills, and the ability to synthesize large amounts of information. I built a little Skill that produces survey papers on any AI research topic you want. (see example in the clip) You can use the skill to tell your agent to generate a survey on whatever topic and watch it go to work. The artifact was fully generated by @Kimi_Moonshot's Kimi K2.6. It's cheap and fast. Next step for me is to explore ways to continue integrating the capabilities of these models on use cases like automating my LLM knowledge bases and augmenting my agent memory capabilities. Stay tuned for more.

Everyone is debating the Hermes vs. OpenClaw meta today. But they’re missing the point. 🛑 The AI model is becoming a commodity. The framework is just the plumbing. The real Alpha? The Data Pipeline. You can run the smartest agent on a $5 VPS, but if you feed it public, lagging data, you are just automating your losses at machine speed. At Derivio, we don’t care which engine you use. We provide the high-fidelity Data Fuel that makes any agent lethal. Data is the moat. Intelligence is the baseline. ⚡️

Happy Earth Day! Thank you to our owners, employees & advocates. Tesla wouldn’t exist without your support. For the last 22 years, we’ve been working tirelessly to build a world that: – is transported by electric vehicles – is powered by solar energy – runs on batteries Teslas are among the most energy-efficient vehicles on the road – combined with the lowest maintenance costs of any new vehicle in America, this enables S3XY & @Cybertruck to further reduce resource use & waste at scale. Most importantly, abundance & sustainability are not mutually exclusive. In fact, tech is what ultimately enables the scale of a fully renewable economy. This is why our mission includes: Robotaxi = ultra low-cost, premium point-to-point electric transport, making sustainable mobility accessible to more people Optimus = automating repetitive & dangerous labor to transform industrial work & scale output sustainably TL;DR, the future for Earth is bright 🌎❤️

Q1 2026 Shareholder Update We continued to make meaningful progress on the build out of the infrastructure & AI software that underpins our Robotaxi & future robotics businesses in Q1. That meant commencing the ramp of new factories across AI compute, battery & battery materials, as well as preparing lines for start of production of Megapack 3, Cybercab & Tesla Semi. Demand for our vehicles continued to grow in APAC & South America markets, with a rebound of demand in EMEA markets & North America. As trade and geopolitics become more uncertain, we're further regionalizing and vertically integrating critical supply chains to ensure access to key materials & componentry in each region across vehicle, energy & AI. Automotive – Optimizing our vehicle product portfolio with an emphasis on vehicles designed for a fully autonomous future – More affordable trims of Model 3/Y & rollout of Model Y L in markets outside of China – Began deliveries of Cybertruck in the UAE – Volume production of Cybercab & Tesla Semi this year Energy Generation & Storage – Good progress with new Megafactory outside Houston (will produce Megapack 3 for Megablock). Start of production on track for later this year – We began meaningful customer deployments of Tesla’s first in-house designed solar panel produced at Giga New York Robotics – Preparations for our first large-scale Optimus factory will begin shortly in Q2. First-gen line designed for 1M robots/year will replace Model S/X lines in Fremont Factory, second-gen line is being prepared at Giga Texas (long-term annual capacity of 10M robots/year) AI Training Compute – Cortex 2 is now online & has started running training workloads – Also ramping on-site training infrastructure to ensure sufficient compute resources for AI products & services – Continuing with custom silicon development (Dojo 3) to reduce training cost over time Battery – Ramping new battery & material factories, including LFP cells in Nevada, cathode material & lithium refining in Texas – Battery vendor cell availability continues to be a limiting factor on ramping vehicle production, so we're working on initiatives to de-bottleneck, including using 4680 cells at Giga Berlin Other Supporting Infrastructure – Giga New York is now producing V4 Supercharging cabinets (3x power density & 2x the number of stalls vs V3) – Alongside the ramp of Tesla Semi, we're deploying public Megachargers, including our first one in SoCal – Over 2,200 new Supercharger stalls, growing the network 19% YoY AI Software – FSD 14.3 launched in April – Upgraded Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage to better handle long-tail edge cases, enhanced the neural network vision encoder for sharper perception in low-vis scenarios & rewrote the AI compiler to accelerate model iterations & cut inference latency by 20% (faster reaction time for FSD!) This accelerates our efforts to eventually deploy unsupervised autonomy to both the Robotaxi fleet & customer owned vehicles – Digital Optimus: our next evolution of AI development. We're working on automating digital workloads, building an intelligence layer that will complement real-world AI in vehicles & robots AI Inference Compute – Expanding our scope of manufacturing to include semiconductor fabrication (coinciding with Robotaxi & Optimus ramps) = step towards ensuring sufficient & resilient chip supply – Partnership with SpaceX aims to build the largest chip fab ever, vertically integrating logic, memory & advanced packaging to allow for rapid iteration – Completed final chip design of AI5 (our next-gen inference processor) in April Automotive & Other Software – Rolled out Spring Update which includes a new Self-Driving app with tutorials & stats, "Hey Grok" wake word w/ location-based reminders, accent lights for blind spot alerts, updated Pet Mode & more Robotaxi – Paid Robotaxi miles doubled sequentially in Q1 – Cybercab will begin replacing Model Y fleet once in production & be the largest volume vehicle in the fleet over time – Continuing to lay the groundwork for expanding into new cities (testing, permitting), so we can launch quickly once ready. Safety remains top priority – Expanded unsupervised ops in Austin & launched in Dallas & Houston in April FSD Supervised – Record net new FSD subscriptions in Q1 – Received approval to deploy FSD Supervised in the Netherlands in April, clearing the path for potential approval in other EU countries – Continuing to make progress on approval in China Automotive Services – Safety Score v3.0 enables every mile driven with FSD Supervised engaged to receive a score of 100. Higher Safety Score over time = lower premiums for Tesla Insurance customers
