“every robot is just a really smart box of gears” @gearsdotco will make billions of gears and gearboxes!
Every robot joint runs through a gearbox. Gears make up ~30% of a robot's bill of materials, and almost none of the precision ones are made in America. @DiscipulusVent founder @alexpodkin & the Gears team are building gears for robots in AMERICA. 🇺🇸

Gears is solving that shortage at home: precision gears for robots, made in America. If the U.S. is going to build millions of robots, it can't depend on a foreign supply chain for the parts that make them move.

Only a few of us see it today. I believe three players will emerge, after 200 competitors spawn next year The Apple of AI computers The Microsoft of AI computers The Linux of AI computers Hotz is likely a lock for the Linux of the era

Circuit agents are now live on Robinhood Chain. Our first agent helps you provide liquidity for Stock Tokens paired with USDG on @metricxyz. Each day, it ranks the pools by fees paid to liquidity providers and funds the top three. It checks them every minute, recenters when price moves, and steps aside before the market opens and around earnings. let circuit carry the trade.

Using an agent that can change its models or code at any time without telling you is like building on quicksand

Hermes Agent can now review your codebase for security bugs with the new official Security plugin by @mark_s. Hermes first maps what an attacker could reach and which inputs it trusts. It splits the code across parallel subagents, checks every candidate finding against the code, and traces whether an attacker can actually exploit it. Turn on test confirmation and Hermes writes a small reproduction for each finding and runs it in a temporary copy of the repo. Each report records the evidence and the findings Hermes ruled out, and exports to SARIF for your existing tools. Run it from chat, the CLI, or the Security page in Hermes Desktop.

Expanding on why I believe "ETH as store of value (SoV)" makes much more sense to focus on than "ETH as fee-burning token". Three primary reasons: 1. ETH as fee-burning token never was as strong as it seemed 2. Optimizing for ETH as fee-burning token would demand Ethereum and ETH function in ways that are very hard to make compatible with decentralization and capture resistance. 3. Meanwhile, optimizing for ETH as SoV is aligned with Ethereum focusing on its unique strengths (decentralization and CROPS) EIP-1559 (including its burn) is fine and good, we should keep them. But we should not feel sad if fee burn is < 10% of breakeven indefinitely; the value of ETH comes from elsewhere. The core idea: the big thing that people appreciate about Ethereum is decentralization and CROPS. The main pragmatic benefit that these things translate into is stability. SoV is the category where that is not an unneeded extra we merely put effort into for ideological reasons, but rather a pragmatic strength from the perspective of people putting in their assets. And in the era of AI disruption, stability will be highly valued.

Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values. Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line. After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs. The values in an open model are one fine-tune away. Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete

e is the best way to run deepseek on your gb300 not only is it the fastest its also dead simple
yea seems that chart is prefil and decode combined. I just tested @actualinc e for 1017 vs what I was using. looks promising. I am running intelligence benchmarks now.
