■ In this week's AI Lab:Atlas the robot is showing signs of a more generalized learning. Also: A Chinese app-using AI agent, how to rethink software development for the vibe-coding age, and the humanoid with a Bruce Lee kick.
This week’s dispatch is about an effort to build a more general learning model for humanoid robots. Unlike most YouTube demos, the work demonstrates an important step—and grasp—toward much more capable robot learning.
The work is one of the clearest signs yet that robotics may be in for some major AI advances. With that in mind, I’m going to add one or two robot research projects to each week’s roundup.

I'm fascinated by how innovation occurs and how it affects the economy. And I want to understand the global picture, rather than just the world as viewed through the lens of Silicon Valley.
So, if you're keen to keep track of advances from the world of computing—AI, robotics, quantum, chipmaking, and more—that have the potential to transform the way we live ... this is the newsletter you for you.
