1. 🤖Unitree’s R1 Brings Gymnast Bots to Real Life

Unitree isn’t just making bots—it’s building performers.

The new R1 is a $5,900 mini robot with 26 joints, Olympic-level agility, and the kind of flips, punches, and moves that look straight out of a sci-fi gymnastics meet. There’s even an EDU version for devs and tinkerers ready to code their own tricks.

This isn’t a toy. It’s a programmable stunt machine—and maybe a glimpse at the next wave of personal robotics.

2. 🛒ChatGPT Becomes Your Shopping Assistant

OpenAI is turning ChatGPT into a shopping platform—complete with its own checkout system.

You’ll soon be able to browse, buy, and pay without ever leaving the chat. Merchants pay a fee, OpenAI gets a new revenue stream, and users get frictionless shopping powered by AI.

This isn’t just a test. It’s a full pivot into e-commerce—with $10B in revenue on the line.

3. 🧠Thinking Machines Bets Big with $2B and No Product

Thinking Machines Lab just raised a jaw-dropping $2 billion—without a single product on the shelf.

Led by ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, the team’s packed with former OpenAI talent and backed by giants like Nvidia and Andreessen Horowitz. Their $12 billion valuation has the whole AI world watching.

Some call it bold. Others call it a bubble.
Would you bet billions on a company that hasn’t shipped yet?
