Small Robots, Big Ideas: The Power of Swarm Intelligence
By
–
Small robots, big idea. Ant-inspired systems show what happens when you focus less on individual capability and more on coordination. Each unit is simple. But together, they can navigate, carry, and adapt in ways a single robot can’t. That’s the shift. From powerful machines… to distributed intelligence. It’s in what thousands can achieve together. #Robotics #SwarmIntelligence #AI #Innovation Source 🙏🏻 @Eli_Krumova

📁 Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind, says AI will not just accelerate medicine.

It will redefine it.
First it will design drugs.
Then it will change how they are tested and approved. pic.twitter.com/0srteEcStS📁 Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind, says AI will not just accelerate medicine. It will redefine it. First it will design drugs. Then it will change how they are tested and approved.

Anthropic’s Security Capability: Open Source vs Centralized Control
By
–
On Mythos: I know it feels utterly wrong and bad to say it's better/safer if this capability was widely available and e.g. open sourced, but it actually might be. Anthropic could now be sitting on so many zero-days for countless companies, institutions, etc… It's noble of them to not deploy and build this defensive coalition first, but historically these kinds of power overhangs are very risky In the short term, it's positive that this capability is not open; IMO in the long term, we're all better off if it's diffused so that power is not centralized with one actor (no matter how noble). So kudos to Anthropic for taking the step; now the open source frontier will and should catch up; it'll be a bloodbath at first but it'll lead to better security mindset and infra

Frontier AI Models Race: Mythos, Spud, and Google’s Response
By
–
We've now seen Claude Mythos and know what's possible. OpenAI has repeatedly indicated that "Spud" is likely to have similar quality and power. Google, in turn, has the most compute (5m H100 equivalent) and, with DeepMind, an outstanding research institution. I expect their new Gemini equivalent, "Mythos," to be unveiled no later than May at I/O. The competition is now forcing Frontier Labs to catch up and move forward. In that sense, Mythos was just the beginning.

AI Replaces Animal Testing in Laboratory
By
–
AI will save laboratory rabbits! An AI analyzed the irritant potential of over 3,000 chemical substances on human skin. Result: 19,000 rabbits spared. No more need to put products in their eyes for 14 days to see if it burns. 190 million animals used each year in labs worldwide. AI, digital twins, and organs-on-chips are making all that obsolete. For once, technological progress is also moral progress. [Translated from EN to English]

From Recording Reality to Reconstructing It: Platform Shift
By
–
My biggest takeaway: We are moving from recording reality to reconstructing it. That is a major platform shift, and the companies that understand it early will have an edge in how they train, build, and analyze. Watch the full video to see what this looks like in practice, and check out what InSpatio is doing with InSpatio World. Where do you think navigable video becomes most valuable first, robotics, gaming, training, or real-world analysis? Don't miss out on the latest AI advancements!
