1.🤖 NEURA’s 4NE1 Takes Aim at the Service Industry

NEURA Robotics just unveiled its 3rd-gen 4NE1—and it’s built to feel, lift, and learn.

With artificial skin that senses touch before it happens and a dual-battery system for all-day power, it’s ready for serious labor. Its sidekick, MiPA, handles serving and cleaning, while the Neuraverse lets robots swap skills like apps.

This isn’t a demo. It’s a full-stack robot workforce in the making—one update away from replacing entire service teams.

2.🧠 Baidu’s Open-Source AI Is Breaking Barriers

China’s Baidu just flipped the script—open-sourcing its Ernie AI model after DeepSeek's viral rise.

Once locked down, Baidu is now going all-in on open access, making powerful AI cheaper, faster, and fully customizable. It's a bold move that undercuts premium players like OpenAI—and some are calling it a Molotov cocktail for the AI industry.

This isn’t just about code. It’s a shot at reshaping who controls the future of AI

3.⚡ Perplexity Max Wants to Power Your Brain

Perplexity just launched Max—their all-in, no-limits plan built for power users.

It unlocks unlimited access to Labs, early entry to the Comet browser, and premium models like OpenAI’s o3-pro and Claude Opus 4. From content creators to deep researchers, Max is built for anyone who wants speed, smarts, and VIP-level support.

This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s Perplexity’s answer to ChatGPT Plus—with extra fuel.
