Unitree Robotics is developing a self-evolving feedback loop designed to allow humanoid robots to write code, run simulations, and improve their performance independently. Founder Wang Xingxing unveiled the project, dubbed Unitree Rehearsal. Image by: Tech360 The system shifts development away from labour-intensive manual programming towards a continuous and autonomous feedback loop. Artificial intelligence will search research papers, write code, test it in simulations, and

DeepSeek's deepening partnership with Huawei is helping the Chinese hardware champion close the distance to Nvidia's chips and the software that runs on them, according to a report from SemiAnalysis which concludes that Jensen Huang's nightmare is starting to come true. The South China Morning Post reports that the research firm points to DeepSeek's recent software releases and its increased testing on Huawei's Ascend 950PR processor.

Porsche has put wireless charging on the options list for the Cayenne Electric, under the name Porsche Wireless Charging, and it takes the cable out of the routine entirely. Park the car over a pad set into the ground, select Park, and the session starts on its own. Power crosses from that ground pad to a receiver mounted behind the front axle, with no plug and no handshake at the charge port.

Unitree has published a one minute film of a humanoid it calls H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian, described in its own post as built to serve and guard its owner, with a maximum endurance of about eight hours.

It appears in white and black panels, and its face carries a lit panel that glows blue.

Cloudflare says more than 10 million developers are now building on its platform, up from 7.4 million in the previous quarter, as it pitches its network at software that is written partly by AI agents. The company announced the figure at an event in Singapore, where it also set out the products it wants developers to adopt next. It traces the growth to Workers, the serverless compute service it began building almost a decade ago, which runs code at the edge of its network ins

Xiaomi has released Xiaomi Lens 0, a four billion parameter model that can mark the exact region of an image it is talking about while it answers, with the weights, code and technical report published openly. The work comes from SeerRay Lab, the visual understanding group inside Xiaomi's large language model applications team, and it is licensed under Apache 2.0.

Anthropic has unveiled Claude Duet, a standalone agent app it describes as a proactive assistant for professionals and small business owners, as OpenAI and Meta race to build software that can finish work without being driven step by step. The app goes further than a chat window. According to Reuters, it watches the apps a user connects and raises items that need attention instead of waiting to be asked.
