1/ Today we're shipping Perceptron Agentic Detection. Describe what you want in natural language, or show one example crop, and an agent grounds it in the image. No fine-tuning, no fixed class list.

Coding agents that actually get better the more your team uses them. Introducing Hivemind: continual learning for AI coding agents. Hivemind turns the traces from every agent your team runs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, Pi) into reusable skills, then pushes those skills across all of them. All on your cloud storage. Now with SkillOpt built in, your skills get trained: +19.1 points of accuracy in Claude Code, +24.8 in Codex, best or tied on all 52 setups tested. Open source, one line install.

@nntaleb I think this totally underestimates the impact of AI agents (currently digital, soon also physical) on LLMs’ access to data and capabilities to learn.

Today at @nvidia GTC Taipei, Netris announced the expansion of Netris NAAM (Network Automation, Abstraction, and Multi-Tenancy) on NVIDIA DSX Air across APAC. APAC is building AI infrastructure at an unprecedented pace. As leading neoclouds, NVIDIA Cloud Partners, AI factories, and sovereign AI clouds are coming online across Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, India, and Southeast Asia, they are turning to Netris as the GPU networking and multi-tenancy foundation for their AI infrastructure. Netris NAAM and NVIDIA DSX Air are empowering this build-out by enabling AI operators to design, validate, and test their full network stack before hardware ships, allowing them to go live the moment GPUs power on. Netris’ APAC customer base is growing fast. @HonHai_Foxconn-backed Visionbay.ai, the largest GPU cluster and AI supercomputing center in Taiwan, and @firmus_ai, Australia's largest renewable-powered sovereign AI infrastructure, have both standardized on Netris NAAM as the network automation foundation for their AI clouds. Netris NAAM is the most widely deployed AI network automation and multi-tenancy platform on the market. In the last 12 months, Netris achieved 800% ARR growth, captured 12% of the global neocloud market, and reached 25+ live deployments at many of the largest AI clouds in the world. 📍If you're attending GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX 2026, visit Netris at Booth #N0008, TaiNEX 1 for a live demo. 🔗 Read the Netris and NVIDIA DSX Air APAC expansion press release: netris.io/blog/netris-ex…

I'm excited to finally release the fruit of the research we've been doing at Perceptron for the last 16 months: Perceptron Mk1. We've been developing multi-modal recipes from the ground up to build models that perform best in the physical world, from video understanding to embodied reasoning to robotics. Mk1 is our scaled up recipe.

"We don’t want Armenians to be able to serve in Congress.” Randy Fine. Not a smart move: the Armenian diaspora managed to be loved in all places: Beirut, Aleppo, Palestine, California, NJ, Venice ( San Lazaro), Marseille. Fine panicked into generalizing his fight ag. Armenians.

Multimodal data curation is harder than it looks. We're publishing our approach: meta-learning with independently optimized capabilities. Highly recommend following @NaveenSahi, who will be sharing more of our data strategies in the coming months.

Multimodal data isn’t monolithic — so why treat data quality like it is? A single score compresses competing signals. But individual capabilities need fundamentally different data. We found these signals are near-orthogonal — and modeling them that way works much better.

@ArmenAgha This is a very deep and interesting piece… I’d really love to see another piece of yours that analyses the current trend against parallels with Genesis 11:1-9 and the book of The Revelation of John.
