Nature Will builds Natura-1 robot model trained on 1M hours of human data

Fields Medalist Terence Tao says mathematicians already use large language models to resurface forgotten approaches. He argues AI's real strength is tackling millions of medium-difficulty problems rather than being trusted on its own.

Menlo Research released the Menlo SDK as open source for Asimov 1, its open-source humanoid robot. The team previously open-sourced Asimov 1's locomotion policy and training code.

A new anime ViT tagger adds roughly 110k photos spanning nature to museums to its training data, with all added photography scanned for humans. Museum images covered weapons and armor.

Community tool Long Shot Studio ships version 0.8.2, letting users pin first/last frames in the shot list and choose Cut, Context, Continuous, or Bridge transitions per shot. Built for Minimax H3 video workflows.

A 7-minute film was rendered as a single sequence in 3 weeks using MiniMax H3 through a ComfyUI toolset built for long timelines. The workflow targets fast iteration on prompts, references, and whole shots or sequences.

Affleck built an owned dataset using LiDAR, Unreal and volume stages, avoiding peers' work in training. He said you'll never just type your movie outside, after checking how existing data is captioned and finding it doesn't hold up.

A r/ClaudeAI user tested multiple models on the same vague prompt to build a SNES game, inspired by similar video-generation comparisons. They said Opus autonomously helped them make an N64 game for their kids.
