The warehouse robotics startup raised $116M with Zalando joining as a strategic investor alongside Headline, Air Street Capital, and Creandum. Over 200 systems are live across Europe with 1B+ production picks completed.
The startup raised $30M led by Forerunner's Kirsten Green to build AI-native payment infrastructure for autonomous agents, handling transactions, checkouts, and disputes without human involvement.
Alibaba's RynnBrain 1.1 family (2B, 9B, 122B-A10B) uses a unified spatio-temporal framework. The 122B-A10B variant outperforms all proprietary and open-source models on VSI-Bench, MMSI, and RefSpatial-Bench. Real-robot experiments show RynnBrain-initialized policies outperform Qwen-based and generalist VLA baselines.
A formal theory of correlated verifier cascades shows log-odds are concave in gate count, failure decays polynomially, and blind-spot atoms cap reliability. Independence-based extrapolation underestimates failure by 20x at k=5 and ~3000x at k=10.
Two models grade each other's reasoning traces without process labels. On DeepMath with Qwen3, the approach doubles GRPO's pass@1. The method replicates across Qwen3.5 and Gemma 4 on competitive programming tasks.
A lightweight GRPO extension using group entropy for entropy-conditioned asymmetric advantage shaping. Consistently outperforms GRPO and recent entropy-controlled methods across 13 benchmarks spanning math, physics, code, and instruction following.
Microsoft Research presents a framework that distills tutorials, repositories, and articles into executable skills for software agents, organized as a hierarchical Skill Wiki. Improves average score by +11.9 percentage points over no-skill agents.
Moonshot AI's Kimi Work automates workflows, organizes files, and operates across the web with 300 specialized agents for financial research, analysis, and office tasks.
An open-source governance protocol and policy-decision daemon enforcing guardrails, budget and loop limits in real time through an audited decision engine built on SP-1.
Supports OpenAI and Anthropic API dialects with any provider as backend, zero telemetry, and eval-gated routing policies — all in a single binary with no external dependencies.
A searchable directory of hundreds of AI agents, MCP servers, and frameworks including coding, voice, browser, and autonomous agents. Independently verified and refreshed weekly.
Free and open-source app running language, vision, video, code, and embedding models locally on Mac. No accounts, subscriptions, or cloud required.
Building a universal inference library to run AI models on any chip, challenging Nvidia's CUDA dominance. Backed by Touring Capital and researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic.
The AI-driven de-extinction biotech is in talks for new funding at a valuation of $20B-$30B, up from $10.2B in 2025. The UAE recently invested $60M.
Founded by ex-Microsoft Maluuba team and backed by Fidelity, Inovia Capital, and Touring Capital. Building what it calls the world's first autonomous enterprise AI system.
