For 25+ years, we’ve sustained human presence on the ISS. It’s our testbed for life support, spacesuits, and long-duration flight.
Now we’re taking those lessons to the Moon.
Starting in 2027, robotic landers and rovers will build toward a steady cadence as we construct a lunar base and extend American leadership to Mars and beyond.

So.
Yesterday I received a DM on Instagram from a very prominent director. Mostly known for animated movies, and someone who rose to fame in the 90s with one of the highest-grossing films of all time.
Here was the message:
“The short film is terrific. I would love to learn more about your process. Which tools, etc. Let me know if you’d be willing to share.”
Someone who genuinely loves animation.
Someone who helped establish the medium many of you care deeply about.
Someone who has spent decades pushing storytelling forward.
Curious about AI.
Respectful of the work.
Interested in understanding how it’s done.
If people at that level can approach this with curiosity instead of fear, I’m pretty sure the rest of us can manage to do the same.

We worked 996 in Shenzhen making smart glasses so you don’t have to.
AI has made us 100X smarter… unless you work in the physical world. That’s because AI can’t see, can’t hear, can’t act in the physical world.
But now with smart glasses, it can.
But making smart glasses is really hard and expensive and you’ll probably fail.
That’s why we made open source smart glasses, so you don’t have to. Mentra Live is for building and deploying apps that let AI see, hear, and act in real time.
Think of frontline workers wearing smart glasses as AI whispers repair instructions in their ears, salespeople getting live tips to close a deal, manufacturing inspections verified with AI vision, delivery drivers saving minutes per door.
The software under-the-hood (MentraOS) is open source, which means you own the app, the data, the glasses, the deployment.
You can start deploying smart glasses now. Mentra does the glasses OS, hardware, and infra - you build the app and deploy it.
What will you build?

This is more evidence that current frontier models remain completely reliant on content-level memorization, as opposed to higher-level generalizable knowledge (such as metalearning knowledge, problem-solving strategies...)

🚨 Shocking: Frontier LLMs score 85-95% on standard coding benchmarks. We gave them equivalent problems in languages they couldn't have memorized. They collapsed to 0-11%. Presenting EsoLang-Bench. Accepted to the Logical Reasoning and ICBINB workshops at ICLR 2026 🧵

The Bitter Lesson of Robotics: It's extremely easy to make a video of a robot doing something once under perfect conditions then post it to X. But it often takes a decade to harden systems and design for all the insane edge cases of the real world. Many companies raising $$$$ on cool demos, but all the hard work comes after

You've got 8 billion potential customers on Earth, BUT...
In 2026, only ~5.3 billion have internet access. That means 2.7 billion people still can't access the exponential tools we talk about daily—AI, telemedicine, online education, digital banking.
The gap: The missing ~3 billion represent the largest untapped market in human history. Starlink alone now has 10,000+ satellites in orbit (just crossed that milestone yesterday). When connectivity becomes ubiquitous in the next 3-4 years, we're not just adding users—we're adding builders, creators, entrepreneurs.
The implication: The next Einstein, the next Elon, the next medical breakthrough might be sitting in a village without Wi-Fi right now. Abundance doesn't just mean "more for current participants"—it means unlocking latent genius at global scale.
