if we launch enough of these (for <$100 each) we'll literary have our own grid. and then can text all the homies via balloon
We've designed a custom stratospheric balloon platform weighing just under 10 g. anyone can build and launch one by following the docs stratolink.org

You can build your own humanoid robot.
Asimov 1 is an open-source reference humanoid robot. It ships as a complete DIY kit. $20,000 total, delivered to your door. menlo.ai/asimov-1

This is by far one of the coolest maps of any game I've ever played
I know this place like it's my home

🚀 Excited to introduce StreamRender-H3 — bringing real-time interactive worlds to life with diffusion models!
Built on Sol-Engine, we post-trained @MiniMax_AI H3 Ref2VA into a real-time streaming neural renderer.
🎮 Code drives the world. A game engine handles physics, object states, and player interactions, while H3 generates the visuals.
⚡ Real-time streaming: 2 denoising steps, 24 FPS, and ~273 ms per chunk on 8×GB200 GPUs.
🎨 One world, endless appearances: Change the reference image and prompt to render the same interactive world in entirely different styles.
🔥 Powered by streaming post-training, distillation, a fast causal H3 VAE, and full-stack inference acceleration.
Check out our demo and code! 👇

Researchers at MIT developed Draft, a tool that lets engineers design and customize robots by adjusting parameters such as limb length, body size, and motor power.
It uses real-world hardware data and reinforcement learning to estimate robot feasibility and test performance in simulation.
The tool helps researchers explore robot designs faster without rebuilding CAD models for every change.
I will be releasing a new interface this month.
Solo founder doing hardware for 1st time.
12 months in Shenzhen.
Team of 2.5 people.
<$400k raised.
Since I've operated so lean, made some decisions on our pricing & open source that should make lots of ppl happy.
Super excited!

Another week, another robotics map! 🇬🇧
This time, we will take a closer look at the busy streets of London and see what robotics companies are located there.
London has excellent engineers and researchers, especially from universities like Imperial College London and UCL, which are well known for robotics, AI, and engineering. Many robotics founders and early employees come directly from these universities.
London is home to Google DeepMind, one of the world’s leading AI labs. Its work on robot learning, control, and general AI has helped push forward how robots learn and adapt in the real world.
The city also has one of Europe’s strongest investor ecosystems. 💰
London is a major global finance hub, so it’s easier to find venture capital, corporate investors, and early customers, especially for robotics companies working in areas like logistics, healthcare, and automation.
It is very international and business-friendly. It’s easy to hire talent from around the world, set up a company, and sell globally.
Of course, not mentioning that it is becoming the European hub when it comes to frontier AI labs! 👀
In the comments I'll post the companies from the ecosystem.
‼️ Note that London area has maaany more robotics companies, research labs, and innovation hubs, so this is a curated selection of the notable product companies, not an exhaustive census!
P.S. I'm constantly working on improving these maps, so if your company is missing, please DM me with basic info about the co, and I will include it in the next release.

Introducing Vesoma.
Building physical general intelligence and humanoid robots in Europe.
60+ people in Munich and Limassol. First humanoid prototypes walking within six months. Vesoma 1's first units being built.
Meet the team and explore our approach:

This is why Anthropic wants to ban Opensource AI btw, their “frontier intelligence” becoming possible to match on 8x RTX PRO 6000s makes their $2 Trillion valuation crazy nonsense

Any potential hire will sign on the spot if you offer them a DGX Station / GB300 as a sign-on bonus btw

My current LLMs stable
- GLM 5.3 Flash
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash
- Qwen 3.8 Next Flash
- Qwen 3.8 27B
Just a year ago you wouldn't have believed this kind of performance was possible outside of OpenAI & Anthropic
But we're just getting started and this is the worst it'll ever be
