Sorry for the wait, the episode is here!
Live action with real robots instead of animation (episode 4): "Anger"
Enjoy!
As always, the software of Microduck and Reachy Mini is open source:

Meet Dessa, our speech model trained from scratch on human conversation.
Hear it for yourself: block.xyz/dessa
helix retweeted
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

You can now turn a single photo into a fully explorable 3D world
Microsoft open-sourced TRELLIS, an AI model that generates detailed 3D objects from ordinary images
→ Turns 2D images into 3D assets → Generates textured meshes and 3D representations → Useful for game development, animation and AR/VR → Runs locally with a compatible NVIDIA GPU → Free and open-source
Get started in 3 steps:
* Clone: git clone github.com/microsoft/TRELLIS
* Install: Follow the README to set up dependencies and model weights
* Generate: Launch the demo and upload an image
What used to take hours of 3D modeling can now start with a single photo
Repo: github.com/microsoft/TRELLIS

hey, I just joined Anthropic
I've been lucky to help a bit on Claude Duet, with such talented people. It's a proactive agent... it comes to you with what needs you and checks before it acts
still lots to do, but we think you'll like it... join waitlist

I just solved "Robotics Engineering" education with Opus 5.5 + /colorfigures skill
no need to spend $1000+ on a starter kit to learn what a resistor does, just visit my interactive site:
• 13 real boards: Arduino Uno, L298N, Raspberry Pi 5...
• build part by part: pick & place, reflow, solder, plug in
• break them on purpose: reversed caps pop, chips smoke, LEDs burn out
send the skill to your Claude:

We’re releasing more open models to help teams across Europe build AI with their own data, on infrastructure they control.
Announced at GTC Berlin, the models help developers, researchers and enterprises build specialized AI agents, train robots, design proteins and develop quantum computers.

Working with @citrini, we asked Claude to design proteins that bind to five scorpion toxins (covering the part of the toxin that latches onto cells).
Over the next 64 hours, Claude generated over 300,000 designs; we sent 211 to @adaptyvbio and @TwistBioscience for lab testing.

New on our Science Blog: designing protein binders against scorpion neurotoxins.
Scorpions sting about 1.2m people every year, and antivenoms are often costly or in short supply. Claude has made an early step toward finding new treatments.

We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

Demis Hassabis on choosing what’s worth spending your life building in a world changing this fast:
“Going after hard problems and deep problems, it’s no more difficult in some ways than going after a shallower, simpler, more superficial problem. They’re just differently difficult.”
“Given life’s very short and you only have so much time and energy, you might as well put your life force into something that will really make a difference.”
“If you start off on a deep tech journey today... you’re talking about a 10-year journey for true deep tech. So now you have to consider AGI appearing in the middle of that journey.”
“Imagine what that world would look like and then build something that would be useful if that comes in halfway through.”
