MIT Technology Review Examines the Gap Between Humanoid Robot Hype and Real AI Progress

MIT Technology Review reports that while Elon Musk and others predict humanoid robots will soon transform labor and daily life, many robotics researchers remain skeptical. The piece details current systems like Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics running on ALOHA 2 and Physical Intelligence's π0 series, which can perform some general tasks but fail outside their training data. It contrasts flashy, often teleoperated demos with lab progress toward vision-language-action models and world models. Res

Berkeley Researchers Map Data Systems for, of, and by AI Agents

A Berkeley AI Research perspective argues that rapidly falling inference costs will make agents the dominant workload for data systems. It outlines three research agendas: redesigning data systems for agentic speculation (high-volume, redundant query streams), building a substrate to run and coordinate agent swarms with structured memory and shared-state consistency, and letting agents synthesize workload-specific data systems while ensuring verification and guarding against reward hacking.
