Why Starship Is Made of Steel, Not Carbon Fiber

A look inside Optimus Academy

Available now: NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB ⚡️ Our newest small open model is built for local assistants, interactive characters and robots that can carry on a conversation and use tools to get things done. Watch Reachy Mini chat and move, with Bolt handling conversation and NVIDIA Cosmos handling vision. Both models run locally on Jetson Orin Nano 8GB. Learn more: research.nvidia.com/labs/nem…

As a builder in the AI video space, I was terrified about how much markup API providers charge for simply routing the models. Higgsfield API adds a 40% markup even with its maximum advertised discount. Fal adds 100%. Runway adds 414% (Seedance 2 480p) I might be hated by the industry, but : 
 Today, we’re launching Sume API, the first image & video model provider with 0% markup. For example with Seedance 2.5 1080p • 50% cheaper than fal • 50% cheaper than higgsfield api (29% even with biggest discount) • 28.02% cheaper than kie ai The routing infrastructure layer is never the moat. We believe that APIs should be commoditized, and the moats will be built at the application layer. Check the pricing comparisons below, and see how the broken industry is saved.

Today we announce 1Password for Agents platform, building with companies @Muse, SpaceX Super Intelligence Grok @Bot, @AnthropicAI’s @Claudeai, @OpenAI, @TownAI, @Browserbase, @Browser_use, @heydana_ai, Instinct, @usekernel, @Perplexity_ai, @tryramp, @Tomo, and @wajo_ai, with more integrations on the way. 🎉 We've heard from so many of our customers who want to use these new personal AI agents to help them get more done, but want more control over what the agent can access with the same trust and ease of use they get when using 1Password directly. 1Password for Agents gives your agents access without giving up your passwords. When an agent reaches a sign-in form, it requests a credential from your vault. If you approve the request, 1Password directly auto-fills the credential in the destination site so the agent can’t see or take possession of the credentials. The agent gets the task done, but it doesn’t get your passwords.. You stay in control. 1Password for Agents free and optional for personal and family accounts. Unless you opt-in to an agent connector, agents cannot touch your vault. ➡️Learn more: bit.ly/487da6J

We’re excited to announce the official release of NVIDIA Isaac Lab 3.0. 🎉 Isaac Lab 3.0 brings a new modular and lightweight architecture along with major new capabilities across the robot learning workflow: multi-physics and multi-rendering support, training at scale, and streamlined deployment on real hardware. With Newton integration, the new OVRTX renderer, RL post-training, and LEAPP deployment, there’s a lot to explore. Here’s a look at what’s new 🧵 (1/7)

A new robotaxi drive unit unveiled on 3 September 2026 is said to be 18% smaller and 25% lighter than rival units, and its maker claims the motor uses no rare earth metals at all. We break down how an electric motor works, why almost every EV relies on rare earth magnets that China dominates, and the engineering that could let a motor deliver strong torque without them.
