New robotic hand by Chinese tech company
OpenClaw has 250K GitHub stars. The only reliable use case I've found is daily news digests.
So I run cloud infra where people spin up Linux VMs. We made a video a while back showing how to deploy OpenClaw on an isolated VM in like 7 minutes, and it kind of took off. We've had roughly a thousand OpenClaw deploys since then. I've also talked to a bunch of people in my network who went all i

More than 70 robot teams are gearing up for China's 100-humanoid robot half-marathon on April 19; this second year, nearly half of them will use autonomous navigation.
At last year's inaugural event, just six of the 21 robots that started the race managed to cross the finish line. more: https://www.euronews.com/next/2026/04/13/more-than-70-robot-teams-gear-up-for-chinas-second-humanoid-half-marathon

DFlash speculative decoding on Apple Silicon: 4.1x on Qwen3.5-9B, now open source (MLX, M5 Max)
A few days ago I posted early results from a native MLX implementation of DFlash. Since then I rewrote the benchmark methodology, fixed numerical issues, and open sourced the whole thing. A small draft model generates 16 tokens in parallel via block diffusion, the target verifies them in one forwar

Linux kernel now allows AI-generated code, as long as you take "full responsibility" for any bugs
The agent that autonomously fixed a production bug at my company last week should have made me happy and it kind of didn't
It caught the error, traced the root cause, wrote a fix, ran tests, opened a PR and flagged it for review. All while I was asleep. The PR was good. I merged it. And then I sat there for a while not totally sure how to feel about it. I've been an engineer for 8 years and that was the first time I gen
FYI, Step 3.5 Flash has better perf and context is 1/4 the price in llama.cpp
So i recently updated LMstudio after a long pause and updated my llama.cpp runtimes too.. i was shocked.. i thought maybe something like turboquant was enabled by default.. but.. it just turns out this model's support got way better. Step 3.5 Flash now slows down \~2.5x less as you load the con
