Tech that just got out.Explained so a 12-year-old gets it, checked against the original paper, then turned into business ideas you can test this week.

A chip design claims 19 times the AI work per watt of an H100, and it draws as little as 122 milliwatts. Power, not speed, is the limit for AI on small devices, and that is a business.

One humanoid model finished 81.8 percent of runs across 11 household chores, roughly double the best rival. The average hides a chore that worked 4 times in 10.

A review prices quantum error cleanup at 537 million times more runs for 1,000 noisy places in a circuit. No machine was run to get that figure, and it is not a count of qubits.

A single model let a humanoid walk and work at once across 11 household chores, finishing 81.8 percent of runs. The best of nine rival models finished 44.5 percent.

A review of quantum error mitigation prices the cleanup. At a half percent error rate, fixing 100 spots costs 7.46 times more runs and fixing 1,000 spots costs about 537 million times more.

A 28nm edge chip design for DeepSeek reports 109.4 TFLOPS per watt, which the authors put at 19.35 times an H100 at FP8. No chip was built, so the figures come from design tools.

A new study trained robots on 5,000 hours of video shot from people's own eyes. Those robots beat robots trained on robot video. The gap was biggest on tasks the robots had never seen before.
