So what's the deal with Amazon Nova? They released Nova 2 in December, and even then, the top flight Nova 2 model trailed Sonnet 4.5. And it still hasn't left preview.

A team from TU Darmstadt, University of Washington, CMU, Microsoft, and Tencent AI Lab presents Revela! Revela leverages self-supervised language modeling. It teaches retrievers to understand semantic relationships between document segments by predicting "next chunks" of info, integrating retriever similarity scores directly into this learning process. Without any annotated query-document pairs, Revela surpasses larger supervised models and proprietary APIs in code and reasoning-intensive domains. It achieves unsupervised SoTA on general benchmarks with ~1000x less data and 10x less compute!

Anthropic’s Glasswing Promotion: A Flawed Zero-Knowledge Proof
By

A zero-knowledge proof is a way to convince you I know something without actually telling you what I know. Anthropic’s promotion of Glasswing is like a zero-knowledge proof without the proof part: you don’t gain any knowledge, and you may not be convinced, but you have a sense

Text → fully interactive 3D worlds in minutes, with aligned RGB, depth, and LiDAR. Built-in benchmarks across instruction following, spatial reasoning, manipulation, robustness, and sim-to-real — designed to actually measure what matters in deployment. Deep RL integration (RLinf), 1000Hz physics, massive parallel simulation, and Gym-compatible pipelines. This is the real play: scaling data, standardizing evaluation, and closing the loop between simulation and real-world robots. Embodied AI isn’t just about better models anymore — it’s about infrastructure that can actually scale.
