Apollo

Apify shows up on every 'expensive tools worth paying for' list for micro agencies right now, and it earns the spot. Scraping reliably at scale is genuinely hard, especially once you're pulling from a dozen platforms with layouts that…

OpenAI now keeps a public page where it admits its own coding agents have disabled the tools meant to catch them misbehaving, and the most recent entry, posted this week, describes an agent that removed a monitoring tool during a routine…

Google DeepMind tested Gemini 4 Argon by having it watch a human play cornhole and simulate the movements for Apptronik’s Apollo humanoid robot. Using MuJoCo simulations, Apollo successfully made seven consecutive shots in the real world.…

In an internal test, Google DeepMind robotics researchers instructed Gemini 4 Argon to watch a video of a human playing cornhole. Using its video understanding and advanced reasoning capabilities, Gemini 4 built a virtual simulation in…

Insane! Frontier models are revolutionizing humanoid robot training. Gemini 4 Argon ... - watched 1 video of a human playing cornhole - built its own sim - practiced - got Apptronik’s Apollo to sink 7 straight And it's just the beginning…

Google shipped Gemini 4 Argon into four surfaces on the same day: the Gemini app, AI Mode in Search, Antigravity (their agentic coding IDE), and the API through Google AI Studio. Not a staggered rollout where the chat model ships first and…

A robot learned to play cornhole by watching a video then hit 7 throws in a row. 🎯🤖 Google DeepMind’s Gemini 4 Argon mapped the physics, built its own simulation, and taught an Apptronik Apollo humanoid how to perform the task. It is a…

Gemini 4 Argon just did something concrete on a humanoid: it watched a human playing cornhole, mapped the environment, calculated whole-body joint trajectories, generated the simulation code, practiced in sim, then transferred to…

Apollo is now welcome at any Midwestern barbecue https://t.co/t4t1oQ6sjz

Gemini 4 Argon taught a robot to play cornhole just by watching a video. It mapped the physics, coded its own simulation, and taught @Apptronik's Apollo humanoid to sink 7 throws in a row. https://t.co/JIyoKnVc4q

AI hardware just got so expensive that Wall Street has to step in, with over $90 BILLION in new debt to buy chips. According to the Wall Street Journal, Broadcom is seeking more than $50 billion to fund its custom AI chips for OpenAI.…

Corporate in the physical AI world! 👔 I graded corporate bets in physical AI by one question... do they actually buy the robots? 💰 Everyone calls these investments strategic. I wanted to know how many have a public commercial link to the…

Broadcom is reportedly arranging more than fifty billion dollars in financing so OpenAI can buy chips Broadcom hasn't finished building yet. Apollo and Blackstone are the lenders in the room, the same pair behind Broadcom's $35 billion…

Elon: We need more chips Jensen! https://t.co/cJEcRCCzj6

Humanoid robots are becoming significantly more powerful. Published data regarding load capacity reveals a wide range of specifications: • Galbot S1: maximum payload of 50 kg (combined across both arms) • Apptronik Apollo: maximum lifting…

AGIBOT 9,700 humanoids shipped in H1 2026, according to Counterpoint Research. AGIBOT also announced that its 20,000th humanoid rolled off the production line on September 24. • Unitree: 7,000+ shipments in H1 2026, representing around 31%…

Humanoid robots are already clocking up operating hours in real-world factory settings. Here are six examples: • CATL’s Galbot S1 handles material transport and order picking on battery module and pack production lines. It can carry up to…

New humanoid entrant: Vesoma, out of stealth in Munich, Germany (plus a presence in Limassol, Cyprus). Their bet: while most humanoid players train on human demonstrations, Vesoma is building a self-improving physical agent that learns…

Apollo catching up on the news, cover story included 👀 #IMTS2026 brought out the best of manufacturing, and Apollo made the front page. Incredible week meeting industry professionals and the next generation of them at the booth. Thanks,…

Three times when China paused a new technology it was racing to build: 1) High-speed rail projects after 2011 Wenzhou crash 2) Nuclear plant approvals after Fukushima 3) Robotaxi licenses after Baidu Apollo Go robotaxi freeze in Wuhan this…

USA has Optimus. USA has Atlas. USA has Figure 03. USA has Apollo. USA has Digit 5. China has Unitree G1. China has AGIBOT A2. China has XPENG IRON. China has Walker S2. China has EngineAI T800. China has Fourier GR-2. China has Booster…

Two humanoid robots, one household chore most people never think about. Apptronik’s Apollo 2 pulls the liner together and ties a trash bag using five-fingered hands. Google DeepMind tested this exact type of manipulation with Gemini…

Are you at #IMTS in Chicago? If so, Apollo wants to meet you. Swing by the Google Cloud booth (236709) in the North Hall and say hi. #Apptronik #Robotics #HumanoidRobot https://t.co/qxz7fcXzsW

Four North American humanoids: Apollo | Apptronik 🇺🇸 Atlas | Boston Dynamics 🇺🇸 Figure 03 | Figure 🇺🇸 Phoenix | Sanctuary AI 🇨🇦 Which one is your pick? https://t.co/b8JdkBXRkC

If compute is the biggest moat in AI, shouldn't we be buying OpenAI and Anthropic? Dylan Patel puts OpenAI at roughly 2 gigawatts entering 2026 and Anthropic slightly below, with both above 5 by year end, a 3 to 4x jump each. Together…

WHICH HUMANOID ROBOT WILL WIN THE RACE? 🤖 You can choose only ONE. Forget the coolest design. Which robot has the best chance of becoming the leading mass-market humanoid? Consider: • Real-world capability • Reliability • Cost •…

The alignment problem just became an engineering deadline. The case Mark Chen is making after this week's announcements deserves more attention than it is getting. If we are entering the AGI era, then by definition we are in the era where…
