NEO robot from 1X works autonomously without internet on onboard GPU

The humanoid robot NEO from 1X Technologies demonstrated cool capabilities that finally bring us closer to humanity’s long-standing dream of full-fledged household assistants.

The key innovation here is the intelligent Redwood system. Which completely rethinks the approach to robot control. This isn’t just another language model. But a complex autonomous system that unites perception of the surrounding world, movement and control of complex motions into a single whole.

What makes NEO truly breakthrough? Complete autonomy! All computational power of Redwood is implemented on the onboard graphics processor. Which provides the robot with real freedom of action without the need for constant cloud connection. Imagine: your household assistant continues working even in the basement, at the dacha or with unstable internet connection — continuing to perform your tasks regardless of external conditions.

Also impressive is the coordination of whole-body movements. NEO can synchronize the work of arms, legs, pelvis and torso to perform the most complex household tasks. It leans against surfaces for greater stability, opens doors, extracts needed items from cabinets, bypasses obstacles and even repeats attempts if it couldn’t grasp an object on the first try. All this in real, non-ideal conditions of an ordinary apartment.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.

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. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.

Altman declared red alert at OpenAI due to Google's successes

Sam Altman declared "red alert level" at OpenAI, and this is not just corporate drama. This is an admission that the market leader felt competitors breathing down their neck. According to an internal memo, he is mobilizing additional resources to improve ChatGPT amid growing threats from Google.

Users spend more time with Gemini than with ChatGPT

OpenAI still leads in user numbers, but people are starting to spend more time with competitors. And this creates a serious problem.

Companies are bringing back 5% of those fired due to AI implementation failure

Many 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.
