Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5: - Excellent recs without any logins (state is kept in local browser session) - Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads - Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version - HackerTube Longs ✊ A bit more on the process: I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing. Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.

Announcing Autoresearch Bench A benchmark for coding agents autonomously tackling research problems While existing coding benchmarks are saturating quickly, the difference between models in autoresearch loops is stark

Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber gives defenders a decisive advantage with expert vulnerability detection and autonomous patching. Here’s how it helps teams stay ahead of emerging threats 🧵

For the past 3 months, I've been heads down building and extending our multimodal data capture rig for Physical AI training. What you're seeing here is a single synchronized capture from our system — RGB, depth (stereo IR camera) feed; real-time 3D hand reconstruction, and a 23×20 tactile pressure grid from sensor gloves, all aligned and timestamped together. Getting here took a lot of unglamorous iteration. We reworked the pipeline to deliver clean, gap-free depth at scale after identifying early depth frame drops caused by data throughput bottlenecks in our capture box. We built per-channel calibration models that convert raw resistance signals from our flex sensor gloves into accurate, drift-corrected force values — solving the creep behavior that made a steady grip falsely appear to fade over time. Even though we’ve stayed quiet on socials, word of mouth spread — our rigs have already been deployed in data factories, manufacturing lines, and homes across the US, Europe, China, and Southeast Asia by our customers and ourselves. In the next few days, I'll be sharing more about how we're tackling rights-cleared data capture from the hardware level, and our closed-loop data-model flywheel — using model evaluation results to identify gaps and guide what data our customers need. More soon, stay tuned…

We’re introducing a new capability to our latest Gemini models: agentic video understanding. This allows developers to process long-form video content with more accuracy, while using up to 88% less tokens. See how it works 🧵

Complementary Field-Effect Transistor (CFET) technology achieves major static random access memory (SRAM) scaling beyond traditional nanosheet gate-all-around (GAA) devices by vertically stacking nFET and pFET transistors. This folding eliminates lateral n-to-p separation spaces, reducing 6T-SRAM bitcell area by up to 40% to 55% compared to standard nanosheet or forksheet benchmarks. From the below.

Instead of choosing between training a world model and training a language conditioned robot policy, why not do both? LDA-1B s a new foundation model that is trained on 30,000 hours of human and robot interaction data. Part of the secret is that LDA-1B jointly learns forward dynamics, action prediction, and visual forecasting, all in a structured DINO latent space which avoids the pitfalls of redundant pixel-level prediction which isn’t necessarily aligned robot action. This approach works on both dexterous hands and simple robot grippers; it also generalizes across objects, tasks, and scenes. @JiangranLyu joins us to explain.

Microsoft just released an executable benchmark for tool-using agents on Hugging Face ThinkingBox-Bench evaluates agents on 507 stateful business tasks across retail, travel, insurance, and more.

Banger paper from Microsoft. It's on agent reliability in real business workflows. (bookmark it) Thinkingbox is a sandbox with isolated MCP-compatible tool sessions, plus a benchmark of 507 policy-conditioned workflows across retail, hospitality, auto insurance, neobank IT, and consulting support. Every attempt is graded on the backend state the agent leaves behind. Executable checks accept valid trajectories and reject wrong, missing, or extra effects, so collateral damage counts against you. The strongest model reaches 65.36% pass@1 and 25.25% pass^20. Many failed trials terminate cleanly with valid state-changing tool calls. Watching the response or the tool call tells you very little about whether the task actually completed. Paper: Track more trending AI papers in our academy:

1,000,000 rigid bodies. All simulated on the GPU. No GameObject per body. No CPU readback — the CPU never sees a single pose, or even how many got drawn. Bodies, broadphase, solver, culling and the instance stream all live on device. Then I dropped four tornadoes on it.

“AREX: Towards a Recursively Self-Improving Agent for Deep Research” Deep research agents often fail not because they need more search, but because they don’t know which parts of an answer are already verified and which constraints are still unresolved. This paper turns research into a recursive loop: answer, verify constraint-by-constraint, preserve evidence, then refine only the weak parts. AREX adds learned context updates and step-aware RL, achieving extremely strong results with 4B and 122B-A10B models across various agentic benchmarks.

Inkling-small is out today! With SGLang, you can get 648 tok/s decode with DSpark (simulated acc len=4) and 288 tok/s w/o DSpark, under the same setup (8x @NVIDIAAI B200, TP 8, NVFP4, bs=1). What makes this model different is the size. 276B total with 12B active is a sweet spot for RL, and both LoRA and full-parameter training become well within reach. Miles is ready and verified for multimodal RL on Inkling-small, so you can turn your multimodal data into real capability gains. At ~1/4 the size, Inkling-small matches the bigger version in capability and even wins on some benchmarks. Run Inkling-small with SGLang, and customize it with Miles.
