Golden chassis and contextual understanding in Tesla’s new generation

Tesla introduced a new humanoid robot Optimus with integrated Grok from xAI. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff personally tested the prototype, asking it to bring a soda. The robot demonstrated meaningful contextual understanding and dialogue capability. Although several clarifying commands were needed.

Optimus uses Grok language model for natural communication. The robot doesn’t just execute commands. It explains that it doesn’t have current information about the soda’s location and offers to escort the guest to the kitchen. This is already a level of contextual understanding unavailable to previous generations.

Visual changes also indicate serious evolution. A new golden chassis replaced previous light tones. Hand mechanics were completely redesigned. Open joints are hidden, actuators moved to forearms, finger control through cables. Musk emphasizes similarity to human anatomy.

Elon Musk also predicts that new Optimus robots will comprise 80% of Tesla’s revenue. This is his business strategy. The company wants to create not just a robot, but a universal AI assistant. Capable of understanding and executing complex tasks in the real world.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A 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 OpenAI

Startup 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.
