Gemini Robotics, a cuttingedge AI model created by Google DeepMind, is intended to improve robot performance in realworld settings. Gemini Robotics expands on Gemini 2.0s multimodal reasoning capabilities, which process text, images, audio, and video by adding the ability to comprehend and interact with physical spaces. This allows robots to carry out intricate tasks like folding origami, arranging desks, and playing basketball. By tackling issues that have historically restricted the practical applications of robots, this advancement seeks to increase their adaptability, interaction, and dexterity. A significant development in robotics is signalled by Google DeepMinds efforts to incorporate Gemini 2.0 into humanoid robots in partnership with the robotics company Apptronik. Read More..

Baidu unveiled the ERNIE 4.5 and ERNIE X1 advanced AI models on 16 March 2025. The most recent version of Baidus core model, ERNIE 4.5, has better multimodal comprehension, stronger language skills, and increased memory and logic abilities. It is notable for having a high emotional quotient, which allows it to understand satirical content and online memes efficiently. The reasoningbased ERNIE X1 model is half as expensive as DeepSeeks R1 while matching its performance. It does exceptionally well in comprehension, planning, introspection, and independent tool use. In intense competition, Baidus early foray into ChatGPTstyle chatbots has struggled to gain traction with its Ernie big language model, even if it claims to perform on pace with OpenAIs GPT4.

U.S. Transportation Chief Slams Verizon Over FAA Contract Delays

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasised the pressing need to modernise air traffic management while criticising Verizon for its tardy work

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasised the pressing need to modernise air traffic management while criticising Verizon for its tardy work on its $2.4 billion, 15year FAA communications contract. He underlined that since the current infrastructure is unsustainable, several businesses must help upgrade ageing systems. Although Verizon reiterated its dedication to collaborating with the FAA, delays remain a concern. SpaceX clarified that Starlink might be a partial solution and refuted rumours that Elon Musks company will take up the contract. Meanwhile, the FAA is testing Starlink terminals in Alaska to improve access to weather data. The agency is under increasing pressure to expedite improvements and avert significant malfunctions in the countrys air traffic control system. Read More..
