1.🚀 Z.ai Pushes China to the Front of the AI Race

Z.ai isn’t just building another big model. It’s rewriting the open-source playbook.

Its new GLM-4.5 packs 355 billion parameters, reasons, codes, and acts like a full AI assistant—while loading only what’s needed to stay ultra-efficient. It’s cheaper than DeepSeek yet still tops benchmarks, pushing China to the front of the open-source AI race with over 1,500 models released worldwide.

This isn’t a niche project. It’s a shot at leading the global AI game.

2.🤖 Iggy Rob Is Ready to Work

Igus’ $54K Iggy Rob is rolling into factories and offices, standing 5’7” on an AMR base with LiDAR, 3D cameras, and ReBeL arms that can lift 220 pounds.

It can work 8 hours straight as a receptionist, canteen helper, or parts mover—and comes with a “test before you buy” offer. This isn’t a concept. It’s ready to clock in.

3.🤖 Beijing Wants Robots to Play Sports

Humanoid robots just kicked off the first World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing—opening with hip-hop dance, martial arts, and live music performances.

Starting Friday, over 500 robots from 16 countries will compete in soccer, running, boxing, and more. China is using the event to showcase its push into AI-powered humanoids.

Would you watch robots battle it out like human athletes?
