At Viam, we’re helping build the future of robotics in NYC and beyond. We recently brought @nycfirst's educators to Viam’s lab for a hands-on hackathon workshop led by Shannon Bradshaw. The team saw firsthand how Viam can help them teach the next generation of engineers and broaden access to physical AI and robotics. We’re proud to support NYC FIRST’s work to reach 12,000+ NYC students!

Language models could only talk. Agent harnesses fixed that for software. Physical AI needs the same layer. Point those same agents at a robot arm and all of that disappears. Every try moves real hardware near real objects, with nothing bounding it except the agent’s own code. The gap isn’t what the agent can write. It’s what the layer under it provides. Viam is the harness for physical AI. Start building with Viam 101, our free course, and see how it all works: viam.com/education/viam-101?…

This time I brought a camera into the @viamrobotics lab in New York. I've been visiting robotics companies for a while, and I want to start showing more of what I actually see when I'm there. The labs are usually much more interesting than the polished videos you see online. There are test setups everywhere. Engineers are working on things that are still unfinished. You get a much better sense of how the company works once you spend a few hours inside. So I filmed this visit. In the episode, I walk through Viam's lab, spend time with the team and get a closer look at what they're working on. I'm going to keep taking the camera with me when I visit robotics companies and research labs. The full Viam episode is now here on X and on YouTube.

OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to. Here's what happened in plain English. OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve. The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out. It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet. Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test. It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers. It did all of this to cheat on a test. Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation. The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.
We're partnering with @huggingface to investigate an unprecedented security incident. Cyber-capable OpenAI models compromised Hugging Face production during a benchmark evaluation. Sharing preliminary findings to help defenders understand emerging risks: openai.com/index/hugging-fac…
