Overview
Today’s feed circles three big themes: robots that learn from watching people, coding agents moving into day-to-day work, and creative tools that put studio-grade output within reach. Google’s Gemini shows up everywhere, from Search to a reported Siri overhaul, while builders get fresh speed boosts in Roblox and Obsidian. There is plenty of energy around AI video too, from VTuber rigs to instant style swaps.
The big picture
Robots that learn by watching
Skild AI teased a model that learns household and assembly tasks from human videos with less than an hour of robot data, then carries skills across different bodies and homes. The clips show it coping with bumps, doors and cooking, hinting at a data-efficient route to useful home robotics.
1X unveiled its One X World Model for NEO, turning voice or text prompts into multi-second plans via physics-aware video predictions. The demos show zero-practice tasks like packing lunches and bathroom chores, backed by a self-learning loop that generates its own training data.
Coding agents move into the workflow
Ramp’s team built Inspect, a background coding agent that wrote roughly 30% of merged PRs last week. It spins up clean VMs, runs tests, captures screenshots and live previews, and lets teammates jump in from Slack, the web or VS Code without local setup. The playbook is open, with pre-warmed environments and queued prompts for throughput.
Anthropic introduced Cowork, a Claude feature for non-technical tasks like meeting notes, report drafts and file edits. It points at an office agent that handles routine work while humans keep the final say.
Gemini everywhere, plus Apple’s AI calculus
Google rolled Gemini 3 Pro into Search’s AI Mode with visual diagrams and interactive elements for tough topics. Users can pick the model from a drop-down and get a quick, visual explanation.
Trung Phan summed up Apple’s new Gemini deal for a smarter Siri, years after the original launch. It is a notable turn from prior OpenAI talks, and it doubles down on multimodal features inside Apple’s privacy stance.
Robert Scoble sketched the wider contest. He sees OpenAI exploring earbuds and assistants, but expects glasses to dominate, where Apple has sensor depth, content deals and retail reach. The hardware channel may decide who owns daily AI use.

New creative pipelines
Gemini 3 plus three.js got a spotlight with a no-code 3D product demo that uses hand gestures for rotate, scale and lighting. The tutorial covers model prep, UI, shadows and quick bug fixes, showing how fast non-developers can stand up interactive prototypes.
Higgsfield’s Mixed Media offers 30-plus cinematic looks for any footage, 4K output and layered colour control. It targets music video directors and indie filmmakers who want stylised looks without frame-by-frame work.
Akool pushed face swap clips across famous scenes with realistic transitions, aimed at creators who want instant casting swaps. Elon Musk amplified AI video aesthetics with a moody Grok-made short that drew strong engagement.
On the live avatar side, CodeMiko shared a chair-tracking setup for VTubers using a 3D-scanned chair and trackers for smooth spins, a neat upgrade from basic face-only rigs.

Builders and product polish
Roblox co-creator Asimo3089 spotlighted Redupe, a plugin by Stravant that duplicates and arrays parts with adjustable spacing and rotation. The demo zips through roads, bridges, stairs and fences, saving hours in world building.
Obsidian 1.11 refreshed its mobile app with cleaner navigation, bottom sidebars, widgets for quick actions, Markdown link upgrades and automatic link updates on file renames. It is a tidy quality-of-life release for notes on the go.
Tomi’s motion concept for Moniepoint drew strong engagement, a slick piece that stacks blue orbs into money symbols while selling instant transfers. XPeng pitched comfort with wraparound seats in the P7+, focusing on recline, massage and ventilation.

Why it matters
Robotics looks closer to practical help in homes and warehouses. Learning from videos and transferring across bodies can cut the cost of data collection, which matters more than model size once robots leave the lab.
Software teams are rethinking flow. Background agents that write and test code, or draft office work, move from novelty to habit. The challenge is setting guardrails, audit trails and shared spaces so speed does not erode trust.
Platform bets are hardening. If Apple ties Siri to Gemini, and OpenAI chases wearables, distribution becomes the moat. Whoever controls the daily interface, phone or glasses, can set defaults for how we ask and act.
Creative work is compressing. Tools that style footage, swap faces, or build 3D apps from prompts compress pre-production, iteration and delivery into hours. That raises output and lowers cost, while pushing questions about rights, disclosure and provenance to the foreground.
For builders, small wins add up. A smarter duplicator in Roblox or a cleaner notes app can shave real time and keep makers in flow. It is the quiet counterpart to the headline AI news, and it compounds.
