Robots will soon make material scarcity obsolete, but if abundance arrives without giving people a role, society will turn against the technology and the abundance will never come. Europe, especially, must build and own physical AI itself, share its returns with citizens, and keep humanity’s ambitions always larger than what our machines can deliver, so there is always meaningful work left for people.

Today we are releasing two new benchmarks:
MicroPlanBench (next-action prediction): GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol lead. Sol costs 1/5 as much.
MicroAnnotationBench (labels + timing on long real-world clips): our nanoannot-1 beats Gemini 4 Argon, at 1/10 the cost.

interpretability might be the most important scientific problem in the world right now, as I don't think we can solve alignment if we don't know what we're building. I think I have good news about it. I co-authored early work in mechanistic interpretability at OpenAI and came away pessimistic, because neural networks appeared to fold into arbitrary tangled knots. years later, I started openai's first large-scale automated interpretability project, finding about 2% of neurons legible with the primitive tools we had
with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different. the vast majority in models up to trillions of parameters are legible, and their circuits beautiful. many famous examples of tangled neurons turned out to be misunderstood. The roadblocks I expected mostly aren't there. I now think ambitious interpretability will be solved by the time we need it most, and possibly quite soon, as automated scientists keep improving. it may be a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works

When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.
Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.

i'm realizing now that this has been simmering in me for a while.
i'm fed up of hearing people react to engineering failures with eschatological hysteria. i'm tired of labs emphasizing the fear.
look, i get it, things can go wrong. but you've demonstrated nothing but engineering problems. now either put on your big boy pants and find a way to fucking fix them, or get a different job, because the world needs this technology.

We did it: The EU Parliament continues to OPPOSE #ChatControl 2.0! 🥳
Thanks everyone for writing to representatives. 🫶
The next trilogue is scheduled for November, we must make sure that end-to-end encryption and private communication remains to be protected!
#privacy
🚨🇪🇺 The #ChatControl trilogue starts on Tuesday & the EU Council is trying to pressure Parliament into giving up its opposition. We must stop them once again! 💪🏼
Ahead of tomorrow’s final CSAR trilogue, leaked Council documents suggest a proposed compromise around so-called "search plans". These would allow authorities ask providers to scan broad groups of users or entire services for extended periods.
This isn't targeted policing, it is mass surveillance!
It's crucial that the EU Parliament remains strong and keeps up their opposition.
Because no matter the framing, the truth remains the same: There's no backdoor for the good guys only!
We at Tuta will continue to fight for your right to #privacy. Make your voice heard as well, today is the day!

We’re excited to welcome @animesh_garg as our new Chief Research Officer at @microagi, with the team from @usablerobots joining him.
He has spent most of his career working on one of the hardest problems in robotics: getting robots out of the lab and into the real world.
Frontier AI now works. Hardware is becoming cheap. And the industry is finally learning how to collect robot data at scale.
What’s still missing is post-training.
Taking a general-purpose model and teaching it one specific job, in one specific environment, until a company can actually depend on it.
In LLMs, post-training is what turned impressive demos into products. In robotics, that layer barely exists yet.
A strong model is a capability. A robot that can perform the same job, on the same line, every shift, without an engineer standing next to it, is a product.
And that process has to happen again for every task, every site, and every customer.
We believe the company that can do this well, fast, and at scale will be the company that puts robots into production at massive scale.
MicroAGI is building both sides of that system.
With @joinshift, we’re building one of the most diverse and largest egocentric datasets in the world.
With Atlas, we post-train and harness models directly on enterprise deployments.
Our goal is simple:
Deploy 1 million robots.

STOP CHAT CONTROL 2.0. - What you should know:
Tomorrow, 29 September, behind closed doors at the Council, the most draconian version of Chat Control 2.0 goes on the table. It is no longer only an intermediary reading all your private messages and cloud storage. It is a licence to search them for months, without suspicion against any individual.
The leaked Presidency note to delegations (11956/26, 10 September) proposes "authorisation of search plans for a period of time rather than on a case-by-case basis" for private chats and emails.
In plain terms: your messages, contacts, photos and cloud will be scanned under a state-issued licence for months, with no suspicion against you.
The same note admits that under this regime "a high volume of reports generated do not lead to any operational outcome." The Council's Legal Service already warned this is general and indiscriminate surveillance, illegal under EU law. The @Europarl_EN mandate says the opposite: judicial authorisation, targeted to specific persons, no scanning licences.
Tomorrow the pressure is on Parliament to fold. You remember the tricks used to push Chat Control 1.0 through and how @EPPGroup with @RobertaMetsola helped to push for it.
So fasten your seat belt for what is coming tomorrow, and call or write to your MEP and your government now to reject Chat Control 2.0. as a whole!
Remind them what this does to the privacy of every one of us.
Under a search plan, every chat, photo or contact the scanner flags is stored by the provider and sent to a new EU agency, the EU Centre, which keeps it and passes it to police. Any state authority can then demand it, with a deadline and a fine for delay, and nobody has to check who is really behind the request, in case it is hacked or weaponised.
That is exactly what happened at Revolut, and what keeps happening through abusive requests from authoritarian states, as we have reported for 13 years.
In the Revolut case the hackers got access to a real state mailbox. Their requests came from an authentic certified email (PEC) account of an Italian Prefecture on the Interior Ministry's domain, with Postal Police protocol numbers, as European Investigation Orders in the name of the Milan prosecutor, for about five months.
About 680 customers lost passports, selfies, home addresses, IBANs and full transaction histories. The files are being sold; hundreds of victims now fear kidnapping. No remedies exist as of now to protect against such attacks.
Let's stop it before it is too late. Please repost.

Here's who made the cut for tonight's big state dinner at the White House. In the old days, when a noble House was suddenly missing from a royal function, it was a deliberate, public signal from the King that they had lost his protection. Usually your last chance to flee.

microagi x ElevenLabs: what happens when you work together with a robot?
Language has always been at the heart of human connection. It's how we share ideas, build communities, and understand one another. We believe this will be just as important in how we connect with robots. At microagi, we envision a world where robots work alongside us as a normal part of everyday life, where asking one for help feels as natural as asking the person beside us.
For that to happen, we need to be able to speak to them directly, without a screen or control panel, and trust that we have been understood.
With ElevenLabs, we are working to make those conversations possible. We are giving our robots a voice, and shaping how they listen and respond to the people around them.
Here’s an early look at how future robots could talk with us.

"People aren't ready, this is gonna change everything"
You know what people weren't ready for? Fucking mammoths. Tigers eating them. Monkeys ripping their arms off. The black plague. The ice age. Smallpox. Vikings pulling up on the beach. Drinking water that gives you diarrhea until you die. Getting a scratch and losing your whole leg. The Mongols. The Spanish Inquisition.
One volcano can send us back to the dark ages and these safety guys are gonna be shocked. Oh the robots didn't kill us? It was a volcano? Imagine their disappointment as the hot ash rains down on them.
A solar flare is gonna explode your phone in your pocket your legs are gonna be covered in battery acid and your bank account will stop working. You're afraid of a computer program doing math?
"Things are moving too fast" homie you live on a rock that periodically deletes everything. You are one the most luckiest entities in a 100 light year radius living during a golden era. Cheer up.
My ancestors crossed an ocean in a wooden box because they ran out of fucking potatoes.
"The social disruption will be enormous!"
Nigga World War 2? World War 2? Hop in the people carrier we're landing on the beach.
Are these people out of their fucking minds? Do they not know what we've survived already?
A couple decades of air conditioning and people suddenly think oh this is the natural condition of mankind. No. We used to have eight kids because seven didn't make it. You're gonna be fine. Man the fuck up.
Accelerate.

On July 25, we hacked OpenAI.
Two bugs let us take over ChatGPT/Codex accounts of OpenAI employees (+some unaffiliated users) and reach connected services: Outlook, Slack, GitHub, etc.
We proved it with a PR in OpenAI’s internal codebase . It took us <72h. 🧵

We’re in orbit! And just made European history: This is the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe; and a testament to the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of everyone involved.

Astra is *not* helpful for routing complicated PCBs 😐
I ran the BIGGEST public experiment testing its capabilities and here are the results, 2h20 on "/fast" and 15% of my 20x weekly limits later
Details and files: github.com/jlcjak/astra_piNa…
Small 🧵with my thoughts
Testing out Astra's PCB capabilities and it is generally pretty good
Going from prompt to fully routed board it does a much better job than Sol at schematic but it's still a lot uglier than Fable5.1
It is incredibly fast through, 6x faster than fable and consuming way less of my limits
On the board itself, it gets help from auto-routing software "Freerouting". After placing components it hand draws a lot of the lines and leaves the rest to Freerouting, about half. It seems to rely a lot on iteration, fully routing out the board, taking notes on it and trying again from zero.
Picture is its 5 iteration and it's still going, i think this will take many more hours of iteration (by its own estimation also)
So far it is a little disappointing with placement, a lot of really bad practices. but I'll leave it running overnight and let you know how it goes

do NOT use any distributed software other than a CLI. they are trying to lock you in. their worst nightmare is your ability to switch to a cheaper model that respects you as a user and does what you ask it
