Jensen Huang explains backpropagation to Joe Rogan and reveals which jobs AI will replace and not replace in depth He’d also make a great teacher
Meet LiteRT.js: @Google’s new Edge AI runtime for the web! ✨ We've made it easier to convert from PyTorch to #WebAI using the common LiteRT model format. Powered by #WebGPU, WebAssembly, & #WebNN! Time to upgrade from TensorFlow.js and build the future. Read more ➡️ goo.gle/4eUP97n
Introducing SensorFM, a large-scale Sensor Foundation Model that learns from 1 trillion-minutes of unlabeled wearable data drawn from five million consented participants. SensorFM learns a single, reusable representation of sensed human physiology that transfers across cardiovascular, metabolic, sleep, and mental health, as well as lifestyle and demographic factors.

CHINA CONSIDERS RESTRICTING OVERSEAS ACCESS TO CUTTING-EDGE AI MODELS China’s Ministry of Commerce has led meetings over the past month with major AI companies, including Alibaba, ByteDance, and Z.ai, to discuss measures that would restrict overseas access to cutting-edge AI models, including models that have not yet been released. The discussions reportedly include not only closed-source models but also open-weight models. However, the scope of application is still under debate, and the rules may ultimately apply only to future frontier models. Officials have also discussed designating the leakage or theft of proprietary AI technologies as a national security crime, with stronger penalties, as well as restricting the types of foreign capital that can invest in Chinese AI startups. The backdrop is the U.S. move to strengthen export controls on AI models, along with national security concerns over cutting-edge models that could possess advanced cyberattack capabilities. Chinese authorities are reportedly concerned that advanced U.S. cybersecurity AI models could be used to exploit vulnerabilities in Chinese software. Since the beginning of this year, China has continued to tighten measures to prevent AI technology from being transferred overseas. Authorities have investigated whether Chinese AI startups that relocated abroad violated export control laws, while also strengthening oversight of overseas transactions involving Chinese investors, technology, data, and national security concerns. Future regulations could take the form of a tiered framework based on technological capability. Basic open-source AI models may be managed through a filing system, high-performance models may be subject to security reviews, and the most sensitive frontier models may be banned from public release or restricted to use within China.
In neuroscience, global workspace theory holds that thoughts become consciously accessible when they enter a privileged workspace that’s broadcast across the brain. Using a new interpretability technique, we found something similar in Claude: the J-space. anthropic.com/research/globa…
We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2. Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain signals. It advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication. We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating. 🧵👇
Unitree cut its R1 humanoid robot to RMB 29,900 ($4,100). Immediate availability. No waitlist. In March I analyzed Unitree’s IPO filing and found margins rising while prices fell. The strategy: preemptive market-share capture before Tesla or any rival reaches comparable scale. Humanoid ASP dropped from RMB 593,400 in 2023 to RMB 167,600 in 2025. Today’s cut extends that curve.hellochinatech.com/p/unitree-ipo-…
Mistral OCR 4 just dropped with bounding boxes (their most-requested feature) so I plugged it into my form-filling test as the helper model. Qwen3.6 reasons, Mistral localizes. Result? Boxes detected, fields filled, mostly landing in the lines. Not pixel-perfect. But close? Yeah, I'll call it close.
1-bit GLM-5.2 GGUF vs. Claude 4.8 Opus vs. GPT-5.5 We gave 3 models the same prompt and compared one-shot outputs. The 1-bit GLM-5.2 GGUF ran locally on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 256GB RAM at ~21.6 tok/s. Which output do you like best? GGUF: huggingface.co/unsloth/GLM-5.…
MidJourney just announced... a full body ultrasound! Yup... read on because it's as crazy as it sounds. "As powerful as MRI and as casual as a trip to the spa" They are calling it "the @midjourney scanner" Insane details: - First, the scale. The device uses 8,960 individual transducers arranged in a ring around your body - The precision is the most jaw-dropping part: it resolves motion at the picometer range. It can image internal tissues finer than the width of an atom. We are talking sub-atomic level diagnostic capability - The compute requirement is massive. The system processes 17 gigabytes of data per second. It takes 40GB of raw data to reconstruct just one cross-sectional slice. And they are planning to scan 100 slices? - Midjourney claims that fewer than 12 of these machines could perform more full-body scans than every MRI machine on Earth combined. Welcome to the future of healthcare! Not only these scanners are announced, they will exist in a "Midjourney SPA" - with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, and 9-10 whole body scanners.
See how @heavypulp made a trailer worthy of the big screen with this powerful new model:
