Seeing how hard this team has been building behind the scenes has been incredible. If you have a passion for robotics and want to skip the AI B2B SaaS larp, check out our new roles!
Today, we introduce Being-H0.8, a Latent Tactile World Action Model.
For the first time, Being-H0.8 brings touch into large-scale embodied foundation model pretraining. It unifies vision, touch, action, and future world dynamics within a shared latent space, enabling robots to
Releasing the model weights and technical report of Kimi K3.
Kimi K3 is our most capable model: a 2.8T MoE model with native visual understanding and a 1M-token context window.
New model architecture: 2.5x the intelligence per unit of compute, not just more params.
Alongside Kimi K3, we're opening up more of the stack behind it — high-performance attention kernels, MoE communication library, and infrastructure for running agent environments at scale.

Tactile sensing in Physical AI may be seriously underestimated.
Just watched Prof. Michael Yu Wang’s “Touch Physical AI” keynote(in the comments) from @DaimonRobotics at ICRA 2026 RoboTac. Their two latest demos make the point clear.
>Fruit packing:A humanoid autonomously handles the full sequence--picking the box, grasping, placing, and sealing. Facing fruits of varying size, shape, firmness and pose, it continuously senses contact, judges grip force in real time, detects slip, and adjusts strategy for stable dual-arm collaboration.
Why do we still buy stadium tickets without ever seeing what the view from the seat actually looks like? ☠️
So I prototyped an idea.
A 3D seat view experience for a football stadium built with Fable 5 + @threejs, where you can preview exactly what you'll see from your seat
We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2.
Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain
Introducing our first model, Un-0!
We trained an image generator powered by a backbone of coupled oscillators in place of a more traditional conventional neural network.
Very inspiring words from Elon Musk today:
"I always think about this. There are always problems on earth. There’s always things that we wish to be better, that we want to solve on Earth, and we should solve them. But there there also has to be things that get you excited about the future — that make you glad to wake up in the morning, because you can’t wait to see what happens next.
That’s the future @SpaceX wants to bring to you."

This is the best and most balanced report I've read by Anthropic, free of many of the super sci-fi, everything-is-exponential language of some other reports I've read by this amazing team.
But one line is dead wrong. This one about recursive self-improvement:
