REK has been secretly building the world’s first humanoid fighting simulator. Opening today for beta on Steam. Using the same AI and physics as a real robots. This will allow millions of people to train to become robot pilots. A video game literally becoming reality.

We raised $165M at a $1.15B valuation to stop doing demos. 2026 is about 1) deployment and 2) research. We will start shipping Memo with our new frontier models in a few months. Our series-B is led by Coatue, with Thomas Laffont joining the board. ->🧵

Second stop: ENGINEAI. We visited their team today, but I can’t share too much yet — still under wraps for now haha

Larry Bird avoided picking up players that played with Lebron. Why? Because he made everyone around him look so good. The only issue is they wouldn’t be the same player after you picked them up. No different in the business world.

I haven't said much recently about what I'm working on, but since this article is out now, I might as well say a few things. ➡️

Today, we’re launching our home robot Isaac 1. Isaac 1 deliveries will begin this fall. Order yours below.

Our offices run air conditioning at 22°C, 365 days a year. That isn't a perk. It's a performance decision. The data is clear. Cognitive performance peaks at around 22°C and drops off on either side, roughly 1% for every degree you move away from it. Cornell found workers at ~22°C made fewer errors and got more done than those left too hot or too cold. Off the back of this we're building a Human Performance team at Fuse. First hire is a Workplace Performance Manager, owning everything that makes our people sharper and more productive, pushing the absolute limit of human performance. This week the European Commission shut off the AC for staff on lower floors while commissioners on the upper floors kept theirs running. That's the degrowth mindset in one image: ask the people doing the actual work to sweat for a rounding error of emissions, while the people at the top stay cool. We reject the premise entirely. The answer to energy isn't to ration comfort and call it virtue. It's to build more of it, clean and abundant, so nobody has to choose between performance and the planet. That's the whole reason Fuse exists. 22°C. Seven days a week. For everyone.

Thanks for all the replies. This is the US humanoid map. The San Francisco Bay Area dominates, with a growing cluster in Texas. Then there is one in Oregon, Detroit, Boston, and New York. I know I definitely missed some. It is just the beginning and many more will emerge.
