It’s happening!!
v4 is flying! ground-up redesign, 6 kg lighter, new propulsion system, stiffer structure, and rewritten firmware modules. hover stability is solid and control authority is significantly better. team’s been cooking

The second flying car of the week. This one is also in early stages: @UtopiaLabs which is in the @fdotinc San Francisco startup factory. I share these because I just love people who are building things and companies. And because the FAA has started allowing autonomous flying vehicles so entrepreneurs see a new market coming. What you building?

One step closer!!
officially retiring the crash mattresses drastically reduced our control parameters and built a much simpler flight controller much better stability and actual controlled landings with zero broken parts

Pure magic basically
this is how how our flying machine takes off vertically without giant propellers: edfs blow high-speed air directly over a curved surface, the flow hugs the surface and deflects downward, creating vertical lift. COANDA EFFECT!

It’s really amazing how much progress can come from crashing this again and again!
learned a lot from this test! we'll keep crashing it until it's perfect vertical takeoff and hover test went great until a sensor glitch drifted us toward a pillar cut power in mid-air and took a hard landing

Congrats!!
We just raised $7.7M to kill every subscription for agents. Introducing monid.ai, the openrouter for agent tools. Your agents can now: > discover, run, and pay for tools at runtime > use 2,500 APIs through one connection: leads, SEO, marketing, search, ecommerce, stocks, video/image/music/3D gen, agent email & phone > pay per call, 0 subscriptions

This.
The most SF thing about SF right now is how quickly riding in a car with no driver starts to feel completely normal.

Running airfoil variation sweeps in the simulation harness for our ATLAS VTOL vehicle. Aerodynamics look promising, but the airframe decided to take a quick nap first.

Every big tech company is building a personal agent right now. But most consumers don’t have personal problems with 10x upside. Within 6-12 months, every one of these platforms will pivot to work. Coding agents took off because the value per task is high enough to justify the token spend multiple. Work has the margin, the pain and the economic leverage. That’s where agents actually scale.

We brought in a founder building synthetic neurons. His goal is to sell the first artificial brain, to a robot. He gave a brief tutorial on how to make one: 22:47 Building a synthetic neuron from scratch 24:15 Making a robot move using only synthetic neurons 28:33 Dendrites, cell bodies + axons with hardware 32:42 Turning sensor data → spikes → movement 34:11 The roadmap to a full synthetic brain 38:00 A breakthrough in synthetic memory By the end, we weren’t really talking about robots anymore...

That's crazy
Can a robot become an animal supervisor? We’re about to find out.
