Genesis Project Just UNLEASHED Legions of Robots from SIMULATION to REALITY…

The Genesis Project is a groundbreaking open-source tool that creates four-dimensional virtual worlds at unmatched speed. It trains robots on everyday computers, teaching them to move, pick up objects, and adapt to changing surroundings in seconds. 

By precisely mimicking real-world physics—rigid objects, liquids, even soft muscles—the system’s simulated skills transfer seamlessly to actual robots. 

OpenAI has introduced two new AI models, o3 and o3-mini, built for advanced reasoning tasks like coding and math. They outperform earlier versions in benchmarks, with o3 surpassing o1 in programming challenges and science tests. 

The models use “deliberative alignment,” a method to embed human-written safety rules directly in their reasoning. Select researchers can apply for early access, reflecting OpenAI’s push to ensure these powerful tools are safe and responsible.

Tetsuwan Scientific, founded by Cristian Ponce and Théo Schäfer, is revolutionizing lab work with robotic AI scientists that automate experiments. Inspired by OpenAI’s advancements, their robots bridge the gap between AI reasoning and physical action, using sensors and software to execute tasks like pipetting and analyzing results. 

Already deployed in biotech labs, these robots aim to fully automate the scientific method, driving rapid progress in research. The startup raised $2.7M in pre-seed funding.

The European Commission has approved Nvidia’s $700 million purchase of Run:ai, concluding the deal poses no competition concerns. Regulators examined whether the acquisition would deepen Nvidia’s control of GPUs, the chips crucial for handling complex computational tasks. They found no antitrust issues, thus allowing the transaction to proceed. 

The agreement strengthens Nvidia’s AI offerings by incorporating Run:ai’s software, which optimizes GPU performance for diverse workloads in data centers and cloud environments.
