Boston Dynamics released Orbit 5.0 — AI reduced inspections by 70%
A cool update Orbit 5.0 for the Spot robot control platform from Boston Dynamics has been released. Which fundamentally changes the approach to industrial analytics and monitoring! The system now allows centralized control of entire robot fleets across multiple facilities, providing operators with detailed real-time analytics.
Spot autonomously patrols facilities while Orbit 5.0 artificial intelligence identifies anomalies. Spills, corrosion, missing fire extinguishers or equipment overheating. Algorithms convert images into structured data — percentages, digital indicators, text reports. Reducing the need for manual inspections by 70%.
The new Site View function creates visualizations based on Boston Dynamics robotics, giving historical context for comparing changes, such as mechanism wear. And allowing virtual inspections without on-site visits. Unlike complex digital twins, the solution can be deployed in hours! And Orbit 5.0 aggregates data on robot activity, fleet health and facility efficiency.
The industrial effect from implementation at clients like BMW already showed a 25% reduction in downtime through predictive maintenance. A partnership with Hyundai was announced — the company plans to purchase tens of thousands of robots for its factories.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disordersA joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.
OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAIStartup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.

Companies are bringing back 5% of those fired due to AI implementation failureMany companies began bringing back employees fired because of artificial intelligence. Analytics company Visier studied employment data of 2.5 million employees from 142 companies worldwide. About 5% of fired employees subsequently returned to their previous employer. This indicator remained stable for several years, but recently began to rise.
