Hugging Face, the AI superstar, just bought Pollen Robotics, the cool kids behind open-source robots like Reachy 2.
🚨 Breaking News:
Hugging Face is diving deeper into robotics by acquiring Pollen Robotics, aiming to make open, affordable, DIY robots for everyone.
⚡ Wire Simplified:
Hugging Face started a robotics library called LeRobot last year, and it's already poppin' with 12,000+ GitHub stars.
Pollen Robotics builds friendly humanoid bots for labs and researchers (like Cornell and Carnegie Mellon!).
Their new robot buddy "Reachy 2" costs $70,000 and can even be remote-controlled in VR.
Hugging Face dreams of a world where robots are open-source, not some secret locked-up tech.
They’ve now made 5 big buys — growing into the go-to place for open AI and robotics.
✔️ Straight to the Point:
Hugging Face isn’t just hugging AI anymore — they’re hugging robots too, and honestly? The DIY robot future looks kinda adorable.

Huawei, the comeback king of tech, is testing a new AI chip—Ascend 910D—to take on Nvidia’s H100 beast.
🚨 Breaking News:
Huawei's Ascend 910D chip might beat Nvidia’s H100 in power, and they’re already sending samples out for early testing.
⚡ Wire Simplified:
Huawei approached Chinese tech giants to test their shiny new chip, Ascend 910D.
It could end Nvidia’s monopoly, especially in China, with the US blocking high-end chips.
Ascend 910D samples are expected by late May—so, real soon.
Huawei’s older chip (910C) is already gearing up for mass shipments.
Trade wars = more DIY tech moves like this from China.
✔️ Straight to the Point:
Huawei’s not just throwing punches anymore — they might actually land a hit on Nvidia, at least where the trade walls are up.
⚡ Do you think Huawei can actually beat Nvidia in AI chips? |

Israeli startup Lightrun just raised $70M to help developers fix code bugs in real-time—before things go kaboom.
🚨 Breaking News:
Lightrun grabbed $70M in Series B funding to grow its AI-powered live-debugging platform that catches bugs before you even blink.
⚡ Wire Simplified:
Lightrun’s tool fixes bugs live inside your code, without stopping production—huge W for devs.
Big names like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Citi already use it.
Their revenue exploded 4.5x in a year—people clearly hate bugs.
They built a “Runtime Autonomous AI Debugger” that patches code while systems run.
Real-time debugging is now a must-have, not just a nice-to-have.
✔️ Straight to the Point:
Lightrun is basically becoming the superhero devs didn’t know they needed — fighting bugs faster than you can say “oops.”

AI is like the advent of the camera - when that came out, visual arts didn't go away— it grew.
There were new skills and far more appreciation for visual arts, not less.
New industries like cinema sprang up. We are just learning what those will be now.

AGI is the most important and potentially dangerous technology of our time. OpenAI was right that this technology merits strong structures and incentives to ensure it is developed safely, and is wrong now in attempting to change these structures and incentives.
