## 🚀 Top Stories
- **MiniMax open-sources H3-Image image model** [2][4][19]: Generates 16MP 4K images in 10 seconds, 5x faster than mainstream models, supports 16 reference images and precise editing.
- **Gemini Robotics 2.5 officially released** [9][10]: Can learn hundreds of everyday skills, autonomously handling tasks like folding laundry, serving meals, and factory sorting.
- **Gemini Robotics 2.5 adds safety protections** [6][10]: Built-in hazard recognition and human-avoidance mechanisms, alongside the open-sourced ASIMOV-jailbreak safety benchmark.
- **Gemini 4 Argon accelerates robot training** [8]: Builds a virtual practice space from a single camera, reviews mistakes for self-correction, shortening training time by months.
- **Apollo 2 achieves 96% sorting accuracy** [7]: Apptronik and Mercedes-Benz proof of concept, with Gemini Robotics 2.5 driving autonomous organization of auto parts.
- **Anthropic sets IPO pricing range** [21][24]: $70–$78 per share, 825 million shares offered, raising up to $64.35 billion, at a $1.4 trillion valuation.
- **Gary Marcus questions Anthropic valuation** [14]: Says it has never been profitable except for one anomalous quarter, with nearly $900 billion in future liabilities, as tokenmaxxing fades.
- **Adobe MAX announces local MCP integration** [16][22]: OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic agents can locally operate Photoshop, Premiere, and other software.
- **Claude and Codex tighten reverse-engineering restrictions** [13][18]: Users performing AI reverse engineering on their own devices trigger account bans; the Decomp.wtf project shuts down.
- **LiveKit releases ROS 2 Portal** [11]: WebRTC connects ROS graphs across networks, exchanging topics and video streams without exposing DDS.
