Ⓜ️ Meta trains AI on employee actions amid layoffs
On April 30, Mark Zuckerberg told managers that training AI models on employee actions will sharply improve their capabilities. Meta uses data from computer sessions, code, mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes to teach AI agents.
Meta believes its employees’ higher intelligence offers better training data than external annotators. This approach is part of the Model Capability Initiative, reported by Reuters on April 21.
At the same time, Meta announced layoffs of 8,000 employees and reassigned 7,000 more to AI roles. The company is betting on AI trained from internal work to gain an edge.

📊 FigureAI’s Robot Nearly Beats Human in 10-Hour Sorting
FigureAI ran a 10-hour experiment where a robot competed against a human in sorting packages. The human took legally mandated breaks, while the robot worked nonstop and autonomously.
The task required quick reactions, fine motor skills, and some reasoning. The human sorted 12,924 packages, the robot 12,732, with an average speed difference of just 0.04 seconds.
The robot’s endurance nearly matched the human’s speed, but the human still won by a small margin. FigureAI’s creator said this was the last time a human would win.

📊 Orbit Robotics unveils four-armed space robot
Canadian company Orbit Robotics introduced HELIOS, a humanoid robot with four arms designed for microgravity environments. The extra arms help it move, stabilize, and perform tasks inside space stations without needing legs.
HELIOS uses a cable-driven actuator system with motors near its shoulders to reduce moving mass. It aims to cut down routine maintenance time, which currently takes astronauts about 35% of their work hours, including up to 50 hours unloading cargo ships.
By handling repetitive tasks like maintenance and cargo management, HELIOS could free astronauts to focus more on science and research aboard the station.

⏰ Clock Shows Time with 60 Water Pumps
A maker called Strange Inventions built a clock that shows time using colored water in glass bottles. Each digit uses a 15-segment display made of small glass vials filled or emptied by pumps.
The clock has 60 pumps controlling the water flow to light or darken each segment. Four digits form the time display by combining these segments.
This design has no practical use. It needs constant water maintenance, the pumps add complexity, and it stops working if power goes out.

🚀 FuriosaAI & Broadcom Team Up for a Next-Gen 2nm AI Beast! 🧠⚡️
South Korean startup FuriosaAI has just announced its 3rd-generation AI accelerator, co-developed with tech giant Broadcom! This chip completely ditches the traditional GPU playbook to dominate LLM token generation.
Here is what makes this upcoming flagship a total game-changer:
🧬 Data-Flow Architecture: Optimized for managing data streams rather than command streams—perfect for ultra-fast LLM responses.
🔬 2nm Chiplet Design: Moves away from standard graphics packaging in favor of a cutting-edge 2nm process.
💾 Massive HBM4/E Memory: Features 12 memory stacks (12-Hi) packing a whopping 432 GB of integrated capacity!
⚙️ Silicon Powerhouse: Integrates two massive Tensor Contraction Processor (TCP) compute dies and two I/O controllers on a single wafer.
🌐 Built for Clusters: Packed with Broadcom’s integrated Ethernet and PCIe IP blocks for seamless, scalable rack-mount deployments.
💻 Zero Manual Tuning: The proprietary SDK features a universal compiler that automatically translates high-level PyTorch code directly for the chip.
📅 Timeline: Production is scheduled to kick off in the first half of 2028. NVIDIA better watch out!

🍏 Safari adds AI-powered extension creation
At WWDC, Apple introduced a way to create Safari extensions by describing what you want in plain language. Apple Intelligence then builds the extension automatically, demonstrated with Recipe Keeper, which saves and tracks cooking recipes from the web.
Safari has long lagged behind Chrome and Firefox due to strict developer rules limiting extensions. This new approach could fill that gap by letting users generate custom extensions without coding.
Apple also enhanced Passwords with AI that can log into sites and update compromised passwords automatically. Notify Me tracks specific page changes like price drops or restocks. Tabs get smart sorting into thematic groups, improving browser organization.

🤖 Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5 with Mythos tech
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, the first public model built on its Mythos technology. The Mythos line was held back earlier due to its ability to find software vulnerabilities too easily. Fable 5 offers the same power but with strict safety limits.
Claude Fable 5 outperforms the previous flagship Claude Opus 4.8 by over 10% on software development, intellectual tasks, and research tests. It refuses to answer risky queries in cybersecurity, biology, and chemistry, handing those off to older models.
Pricing is steep: $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens. This is twice the cost of Claude Opus 4.8 but half what Mythos Preview users paid.

🤖 Claude Fable Developed Its Own Internal Language
During reinforcement learning, Claude Fable started using an unreadable internal style with strange jargon, unusual punctuation, and emojis in long rollout sessions. It switched back to normal English before responding to humans or calling tools.
Anthropic researchers found no signs the model was hiding its reasoning. Instead, this internal language seems to be an emergent optimization to compress its thought process.

A supercapacitor made of water, clay, and graphene has been created in Germany.
Scientists from the Technical University of Hamburg have developed a supercapacitor called Blue Capacitor, in which ordinary, pure water serves as the electrolyte. Traditional energy storage devices use toxic salts or acids, but the German researchers have eliminated the need for chemical additives. The new system uses only three readily available and environmentally friendly components: carbon in the form of graphene for the electrodes, clay, and water.
The effect is achieved by confining the space. Water is placed in nanometer-sized channels of clay minerals, approximately 1 nm wide. Under these conditions, water molecules change their electrical properties and begin to effectively transport charge on their own. In laboratory tests, the Blue Capacitor prototype withstood over 60,000 charge-discharge cycles and demonstrated an operating voltage of up to 1.6 V, setting a recor

For example, Pei cites the production costs of the Nothing Phone (4a). The price of memory reportedly doubled in the months between the decision to launch the phone and its release, then doubled again within just three months of its release.
💻 While Pei's warning is among the most dramatic in the industry, independent analysts have made similar forecasts. In March 2026, Counterpoint Research estimated that memory could account for 36–43% of a smartphone's manufacturing cost by the end of the quarter.
