OpenCastor v2026.3.20.3 adds first-class support for authenticated access to closed AI models — Physical Intelligence π0, HuggingFace gated models, enterprise APIs, and more.
How a nightly Gemini-powered research pipeline finds the best agent harness configuration for your robot — and why the next version will tune itself differently for every hardware profile.
The closer AGI feels, the less we sleep. But the kids don't care about your PR queue. Here's how to build a clean agentic system that works while you're present — not one that steals your presence from you.
Why AI robots need accountability protocols now, what existing safety standards miss, and how to adopt RCAN before the incident that makes it mandatory.
Why a robot that improves itself matters more than a fleet of static ones — and the engineering steps to get there.
Today we release OpenCastor v2026.2.19.0 — an open-source framework that connects any AI model to any robot hardware through a single YAML config. 7 providers, tiered brain architecture, Hailo-8 NPU vision, and a $0 starting cost.
VS Code + Claude Code maintained context across weeks of SharePoint term store fixes through persistent memory files. Here's why decision routing matters more than token windows.
A complete toolkit for generating atmospheric video backgrounds using Google's Veo 3.1 AI model, designed for quote-based political documentaries.
Behind the scenes of creating an atmospheric documentary using Google's Veo 3.1 model.
Geoffrey Huntley's Ralph Wiggum technique for every platform. macOS, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and cloud servers. 10+ AI agents for autonomous coding.
A breakthrough in AI agent architecture means you can now send a single prompt and let an agent build autonomously for hours—without the degradation that previously made long sessions unreliable.
182 commits after the kids went to bed. A cloud platform built with Claude Code and the Ralph Loop.
The technical appendix to the RCAN protocol proposal. Includes JSON Schema for Robot URIs, Protocol Buffer definitions, and a complete handshake flow—proving RCAN is real code, not just a blog post.
The internet has ICANN. IoT has Matter. Robotics has nothing. The RCAN protocol proposes a global addressing, authentication, and governance standard for embodied AI.
2,652 commits, 76 new projects, and the journey from chasing business ideas to just building.
China's dominance in industrial robotics raises fundamental questions about who shapes the values embedded in embodied AI systems that will increasingly act in the physical world.
As embodied AI scales, we need a governance stack for the physical world—a constitutional operating system that encodes safety, law, and social norms into every robot's decision-making framework.
Testing Gemini 3 Thinking and Gemini 3 Fast as a Canvas application in Live Captioning XR with spatial captions.
Why we built Live Captions XR.
Introducing my new blog section where I'll share insights on AI engineering, computer vision, and accessibility technology.
