Post-training bottlenecks solved through refined methods and data
By

"The lesson is post-training bottlenecks are solved by refining methods and data" Zhibin Gou (@zebgou) If Gemini-3 proved continual scaling pretraining, DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale proves scaling RL with large context. We spent a year pushing DeepSeek-V3 to its limits. The lesson is post-training bottlenecks are solved by refining methods and data, not just waiting for a better base. — https://nitter.net/zebgou/status/1995462720078934213#m

Only Claude got it right.
Prompt I used:
Write a JavaScript animation of a double or triple pendulum system. The segments should swing realistically under gravity, with adjustable mass and length. pic.twitter.com/KgP9Y82ZpSGemini 3.0 Pro vs ChatGPT 5.1 vs Claude Opus 4.5 Only Claude got it right. Prompt I used:

Flexion Robotics Raises $50M Series A for Humanoid Robot Intelligence
By
–
Humanoid robotics just got a major boost. @FlexionRobotics has raised a $50M Series A to build what could become the intelligence layer for the next generation of humanoid robots. The Zurich-based team, led by Nikita Rudin (with experience from ETH Zurich, NVIDIA, Meta, Google, and Tesla), is taking a different approach than most in the space: 🔹 Language-level task reasoning 🔹 A VLA model trained heavily in simulation 🔹 Transformer-based whole-body control The ambition? Robots that don’t just replay human demos, but actually understand, adapt, and perform tasks with true autonomy. If humanoids are ever going to be useful in factories, logistics centers, and real industrial environments, someone has to solve this intelligence layer. Flexion is taking that challenge head-on. With $50M in fresh capital, they’re now scaling compute, expanding robot fleets, and moving toward deployments with major OEMs. And honestly? Watching the progress — even the way these robots walk — is incredible. #AI #Robotics #Humanoids #Automation #DeepLearning #FutureOfWork Source 🙏 @lukas_m_ziegler @IanLJones98 @NevilleGaunt @bamitav @altiamkabir @sijlalhussain @marcusborba @jblefevre60 @Nicochan33 @TerenceLeungSF @KirkDBorne @CurieuxExplorer @enilev @Eli_Krumova @pascal_bornet @anand_narang @sulefati7 @Xbond49 @Hana_ElSayyed @engmlubbad @Timothy_Hughes @mcanducci @RLDI_Lamy @segundoatdell @engmlubbad @rvp @ipfcoline1 @PatGrant7777 @NigelTozer @Ronald_vanLoon @pierrepinna @Khulood_Almani @BetaMoroney @AkwyZ
