A New Standard in Sensing: Lidar Colorized, Ruggedized, Maximized. Today, we released the REV8 OS family: the world’s first native color lidar sensors. ✔️Powered by our breakthrough L4 and L4 Max Ouster Silicon ✔️First patented native color lidar sensors with point for point 3D color vision ✔️Radically upgraded OS0, OS1, and OSDome sensors with industry‑leading resolution, range, and reliability ✔️Introduced the flagship OS1 Max with 256 channels of high-definition sensing up to 500 m in all directions with a 45° FOV ✔️Auto-grade, cybersecure, and designed for functional-safety (ASIL-B, SIL-2, PLd) ✔️Designed for low-cost, high-volume production deployments 🧵We’ve redefined the meaning of lidar itself.

Ouster CEO Angus reaffirmed last night at the NVIDIA GTC special edition ROS By-the-Bay event that the company has shipped over 150k sensors. He last mentioned this on February 9, which implies that Q4 ’25 plus the first ~40 days of Q1 ’26 account for roughly 13k units. Since we know they shipped 8,100 sensors in Q4, that suggests about 5,000 sensors were shipped in the first 40 days of Q1. At this pace, they could ship approximately 11,250 sensors in Q1. Assuming total shipments of 11k units at a $4.8k ASP, that implies about $52.8M in Q1 revenue—well above the company’s guidance of $45M–$48M. ASP has not fallen below $5k since Q1 2023, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some discounts on high-volume orders, such as Amazon Proteus robots. As long as gross margins remain in the 35%–40% range as guided, some pricing pressure is acceptable, especially if it reflects cost reductions from scaling. Now consider @Stereolabs3D. They generated $16M in revenue last year, with over 60% coming from the second half, per the CFO. This implies roughly $5M from the first half. Assuming 40% growth, we could expect around $7M from Stereolabs in the first half of this year, with approximately $2M attributable to the final seven weeks of Q1 and therefore contributing to consolidated Q1 results. This would suggest total Q1 revenue of around $54.8M when @ousterlidar reports in early May. Conservatively, $50M should be the floor. $OUST


$OUST As mentioned below, this week should stay between the 10-day MA at $26 and the recent high of $30, with volume likely picking up from this Friday. Those who have followed me long enough know that my earnings estimates on $OUST have been more accurate than Wall Street’s. For Q1 earnings next Tuesday, I expect $49M ~ $50M in revenue vs $45M–$48M guidance, 48%~51% YoY growth ($33M in Q1 2025). I’m also modeling 9.5K–10K sensor shipments for the quarter, 102% ~127% YoY growth (4.7 sensors in Q1 2025) Hopefully I’m not being too optimistic. Not financial advice.







IDV Viking UGV at the recent Armoured Expo 2026. IDV supported the British Army’s 3rd (UK) Division at the recent Armoured Expo 2026. Held on Salisbury Plain, the event saw the 3rd Division demonstrate how a combined group of UGVs, UAVs, armoured vehicles, and soldiers worked together as part of a breaching exercise. The VIKING UGVs performed a number of roles, highlighting the platform’s superior capabilities and the modular interoperability of the approach. These roles included: - logistics resupply - CASEVAC - ISTAR operations The VIKING demonstrated its versatility by keeping pace with the armoured fleet and following it into the breach.

The FCC just voted to ban foreign test labs from certifying U.S. devices unless their countries play ball with American labs in return. 23 "Bad Labs" already axed. A 2-year phase-out of the rest is on the table. America is done letting adversaries rubber-stamp our electronics. 🇺🇸

✅ FLIP’s first drive This week, our FLIP rover officially took its first steps here on Earth. Those first few feet driven are a major step towards FLIP putting its wheels in the dirt on the Moon and taking a giant leap for rover kind.




A California startup went from idea to flying autonomous cargo plane in just six months. Pyka's DropShip — Group 3+, 1,400 lb MTOW, hybrid propulsion, modular open architecture — completed first flight April 27. defence-blog.com/pykas-autonomo…




Scary @Waymo moment in SF today - it overtook a Muni bus in the wrong lane at a signal, didn’t stop, and aggressively tried to squeeze between me and the bus. Had the bus driver and I not steered away, this could have been a serious incident. Big fan of AVs, but perception ≠ judgment. Edge cases matter!
