Built Robotics created robots for solar industry automation
Built Robotics company’s mission sounds ambitious: “create robots that build the world”. And by automating repetitive tasks in the solar industry, valued at $300 billion, this company is accelerating our transition to solar energy. Built Robotics entered the industrial solar installation market with its product – the robotic pile driver RPD35. This is a robotic excavator capable of automating several stages in the process of installing piles for solar panels. The robot can autonomously conduct geological surveys of pile locations, distribute piles, drive them in and create as-built documentation.
To create this marvel of engineering, the company modified a Caterpillar 335 excavator, adding key components: the “Exosystem” system, special skids for carrying piles and a unique hammer of their own development. RPD35 can transport up to 224 piles with maximum lifting capacity of 15 tons. The second model – RPS25 – installs piles with stunning accuracy: vertical deviation doesn’t exceed 1 degree, and deviation from design height is only 15 millimeters. And robots work in coordinated groups up to 24 hours a day, which allows significantly accelerating construction.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.
GPT-5 was hacked in 24 hours2 independent research companies NeuralTrust and SPLX discovered critical vulnerabilities in the security system of the new model just 24 hours after GPT-5's release. For comparison, Grok-4 was hacked in 2 days, making the GPT-5 case even more alarming.
Threats and $1 trillion don't improve neural network performanceYou've surely seen these "secret tricks" for controlling neural networks. Like threats, reward promises, emotional manipulations. But do they actually work? Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Wharton School conducted a large-scale experiment with 5 advanced models: Gemini 1.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0 Flash, GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini and GPT o4-mini.
Anthropic integrated Opus 4.1 into Claude Code and cloud platformsAnthropic released Claude Opus 4.1. This isn't just another update, but a substantial improvement in coding capabilities and agent functionality. What's especially pleasing — the new version is integrated not only into the classic Claude interface, but also into the Claude Code tool. As well as available through API, Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI.
