@Raspberry_Pi Happy Pi Day! From our little friend from Edu Pico cytron.io/p-edu-project-…

In a stroke of luck this Friday 13th, we've decided to celebrate Pi Day early. (Please dive into the comments on this post with links to your own spectacular builds and Pi-powered things you've seen). raspberrypi.com/news/celebrati…

Most robot kits are a nightmare to assemble... but not this one. 🛑🏗️ qr.codes/IwnYeT Forget the 'fragile' parts and confusing manuals. Follow our BEETLE:BIT Beginner’s Guide and get rolling in no time! Check out the setup video: youtu.be/uMzD8UFlGDc?si… #STEM #Robotics #Microbit #EdTech #MakerMovement #Coding #DIY #BeetleBit #GlobalSTEM

wtf did i just read NATO is equipping live cockroaches with AI models to spy on enemies, steering their movement with electric shocks to the nervous system! the tech is fucking insane: - each cockroach is wired with cameras, microphones and microscopic AI chips that process data locally. - swarm algorithms coordinate MULTIPLE cockroaches at once - these cyborg cockroaches are sent on military scouting missions moving through tight spaces, rubble undetected. - german military has already paid for and deployed these AI cockroaches i’ve heard of ai drones but never ai-powered fucking combat cockroaches lmaoo

If you are looking for a motor driver with extra protection. You can consider this. Product: qr.codes/Fldo8M

Tired of "fragile" robot kits that snap before you even finish building? 🛠️💔 Most beginner kits use cheap, brittle acrylic bases that are a nightmare to assemble. One wrong turn of a screwdriver and CRACK—there goes your weekend project. The BeetleBit is built differently: ✅ Solid Construction: A sturdy, well-engineered chassis that handles real-world play. ✅ Frustration-Free Assembly: Parts that actually fit together without the struggle. ✅ Built to Last: Designed for classrooms and makers who want a bot that survives more than one race. Stop fixing your robot’s base and start coding its brain! 🧠🏎️ Get it here: qr.codes/IwnYeT

🧵 Farming robots are no longer experimental. They're deployed, profitable, and reshaping agriculture. In orchards, vineyards, vegetable fields, and beyond, they're tackling labor shortages, precision spraying, and chemical reduction at scale. This is how robotics is quietly becoming the backbone of next-gen agriculture [Save this thread for later 📌]

Chinese Scientists Develop Stretchable Metal–Polymer Conductor That Resists Breaking by @MrLaalpotato #EmergingTech #Innovation #TechForGood #Technology

Given the Anthropic vs. Pentagon divorce last week, we dig into AI surveillance in the United States. 
@IrenaCronin and I write this newsletter every week.   AI surveillance in the United States is rapidly scaling because AI makes it easy to search video, track locations through license plates, use biometrics like face recognition, and fuse many databases into profiling and prediction systems. Oversight remains fragmented across agencies and states, with governance stronger on process than hard limits, while political battles are growing around domestic mass surveillance, national security authorities, and how contractors can restrict government use. The central tension is scale versus safeguards, with the most important protections being strict purpose limits, short retention, access controls, audit logs, independent testing, and clear appeal paths.

@om_patel5 x.com/cytrontech/sta… we are also trying this but in different ways

this is insane a coffee shop is using AI to monitor every employee and customer in real time > how many cups each barista has made > how long every customer has been waiting > who's working fast and who's falling behind walmart already does this across all their stores. it's only a matter of time before every small business has access to this kind of tech.

events.raspberrypi.com/community/df85… See you in @fossasia summit in Bankok! @cytrontech kindly help me to exhibit Pi500 as last year. looking forward to seeing you there next week #raspberrypi

Qwen 3.5 Small models - fully open source - beats models 4x it’s size - 9B model performs on par with GPT OSS 120B while being 13x smaller - outperforms Gemini 3 flash and Claude sonnet 4.5 on select benchmarks - runs on any laptop - even works on a phone - completely free.

Remember when building a custom gripper was a PhD-level project? Those days are gone. Now everyone can have their own robotic assistant. The barrier to entry has never been lower. See it in action: youtu.be/czwwbj_euV8 #MakerCommunity #DIY #Robotics

To inspire you this #MakerMonday, we’re showcasing just a few of the best Raspberry Pi Pico projects around — from information dashboards, IoT sensors, and LED lighting to robots, drones, musical instruments, and wearables. raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry…

The Brain Behind Your Favorite Tech Projects

March 2 🚀 What are you building today?

If you love what the MDDS30 qr.codes/Fldo8M can do with a Raspberry Pi, your workbench is about to get an upgrade. 🛠️ We are working on for our newest motor driver launch—higher efficiency, better control, and built for your wildest builds.

Ever wonder how AI actually "thinks"? It’s not a brain—it’s a Digital Parrot playing a giant game of "Guess the Next Word." 🦜 The "Lame" Breakdown: 1/ The Pattern: If you type "The cat sat on the...", the AI doesn't "see" a cat. It just knows from reading the internet there’s a 90% chance the next word is "mat" and a 0.001% chance it’s "pizza." 2/ The Build: It picks the best word, then looks at the new sentence and guesses the next one. It builds your entire email or poem one tiny prediction at a time. 3/ The Truth: It doesn't "know" facts; it just knows what a human is most likely to say next based on massive math patterns. 🚀 What’s next? We are currently testing LLMs within our own product to make things even smoother for you! Follow us for the latest updates on our AI journey. 🛠️✨ #AI #TechSimplified #LLM #ProductUpdate
