⚠️ OpenAI acquired a continent’s worth of computing power and a significant portion of AMD’s stock.

This impressive deal involves OpenAI signing up for 6 gigawatts of power from AMD, equivalent to the energy consumption of Denmark. The agreement will commence with the launch of next year’s MI450s. In return, OpenAI will receive up to 160 million AMD shares, valued at one cent each. This could potentially translate to a 10% stake in AMD if certain milestones are achieved.

The value of this deal is estimated to be tens of billions of dollars and has the potential to position AMD as a formidable rival to Nvidia’s dominant position in the semiconductor industry. Lisa Su, AMD’s CEO, describes the deal as a “win-win” situation, while Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, views it as a matter of survival. Altman emphasises the increasing difficulty in obtaining sufficient computing power, particularly in light of OpenAI’s recent parallel mega-deals with Oracle ($300 billion) and Nvidia ($100 billion).

This partnership is not merely a collaboration; it is a manifestation of arms-race capitalism. The demand for AI models is insatiable, and CEOs are amassing power as if it were a precious commodity. The new empires are not being built on physical land, but rather on data centres.

OpenAI President, Greg Brockman:

The world still underestimates the demand for AI compute. ChatGPT now has 800M weekly users, but a lack of compute blocks new features and products. Models are improving fast; OpenAI is rapidly adding capacity to avoid a "compute desert"

🔒 A breathtaking robotics moment

This woman just stood up and walked again,with a robotic exoskeleton from French company Wandercraft. For tens of millions who can’t walk, it’s a life-changing breakthrough.

Robots and humans become one, allowing humans to regain their freedom of movement.The exoskeleton learns from over 10,000 users’ movements every day:evolving, improving, becoming smarter.

Now, that same tech has evolved into Calvin-40, a headless humanoid robot working in Renault’s factory, handling tires and parts boxes, etc.

Born from humans, made for humans.

🔔 This is insane.

New AI model from Samsung, 10,000x smaller than DeepSeek and Gemini 2.5 Pro just beat them on ARC-AGI 1 and 2

Samsung’s Tiny Recursive Model (TRM) is about 10,000x smaller than typical LLMs yet smarter because it thinks recursively instead of just predicting text. It first drafts an answer, then builds a hidden "scratchpad" for reasoning, repeatedly critiques and refines its logic (up to 16 times), and produces improved answers each cycle.

This approach shows that architecture and reasoning loops (not just size), can drive intelligence. It enables powerful, efficient models that run cheaply, validate neuro symbolic ideas, and open highest quality reasoning to far more applications.

Acceleration is everywhere

Figure AI has introduced the Figure 03, a new humanoid robot designed to serve as a versatile assistant for tasks such as doing laundry at home and working at hotel receptions. To enhance safety, the robot features a textile suit and soft inserts.

Improvements over previous models include additional sensors, cameras in its hands, an upgraded battery, and wireless charging capabilities, all powered by the Helix neural network.

Figure 03 is optimized for mass production, with plans for a production line capable of manufacturing up to 12,000 units annually. However, the launch date and pricing details have yet to be revealed.

💦 Japan builds a human washing machine and it actually works

Osaka-based Science Co. has unveiled a futuristic “human washing pod” that cleans, rinses, and dries your body in just 15 minutes, no scrubbing required. The device debuts at Expo 2025 Osaka, with early installations planned in hotels and spas.

💡 How it works
• Users recline inside a sealed capsule filled with microbubbles and mist
• AI sensors track pulse and temperature to adjust water pressure and heat
• The pod adds aroma, music, and ambient visuals for full-body relaxation

🏠 From 1970 concept to real product
• Inspired by Sanyo’s 1970 “human washing machine” prototype
• Built for hospitality and elderly care, with a home model in development
• Expected price: roughly that of a luxury car

⚙️ Why it matters
• Critics say it’s “a solution to a problem we don’t have”
• But Japan’s automation-first culture could make it a hit in wellness tech

What started as sci-fi at the 1970 Osaka Expo may soon become the world’s most high-tech bath.
