🧠 Meta's Brain2Qwerty v2 hits 78% word accuracy 🧠
Meta's rollout of Brain2Qwerty v2 narrows the gap with surgical brain implants.

Meta released version 2 of its Brain2Qwerty non-invasive brain-computer interface, which now reads full words and their meanings rather than individual characters. Nine volunteers each spent 10 hours inside a brain scanner while typing, generating nearly 22,000 sentences of training data. The system pairs one AI model that interprets raw brain signals with a second that layers in semantic meaning, achieving 78% word accuracy for the top volunteer and 61% on average — a stark jump from the 8% highs of previous non-invasive approaches. This could make brain-computer communication accessible without surgery. Meta open-sourced the code for both versions and noted that accuracy scales with more data, suggesting the remaining gap with invasive methods may close through data collection alone.

⚡ Devin Fusion cuts AI coding costs by 35% ⚡
Cognition's dual-agent approach tackles the pricing pain point of frontier AI coding.

Cognition launched Devin Fusion in preview, a dual-agent architecture that pairs a frontier AI model with a cheaper "sidekick" agent to maintain top-tier coding quality while slashing expenses. The system dynamically routes tasks between both agents, optimizing for efficiency and avoiding costly cache misses. On the FrontierCode benchmark, Fusion achieved a 35% cost reduction without sacrificing performance — reaching 41% savings with Fable 5 integration. Multi-model routing reshapes AI coding pricing economics. The release reflects a broader industry shift toward intelligent orchestration, delegating simpler subtasks to cheaper models instead of running frontier systems on everything.

🤖 Agility Robotics eyes $2.5B IPO for Digit 🤖
Agility's IPO rollout would mark a first for pure-play humanoid robotics on public markets.

Agility Robotics, maker of the Digit humanoid robot built for warehouse logistics and industrial tasks, announced plans to go public at a $2.5 billion valuation. The company has tested Digit with Amazon for warehouse fulfillment and has been a frontrunner in the bipedal robotics space. A public listing at this scale benchmarks commercial viability for the entire humanoid robotics sector. The IPO arrives amid intense competition from Figure, Unitree, and Tesla's Optimus program, and would make Agility one of the first companies of its kind to trade on public markets — a key signal of growing investor confidence in commercial robot deployments.
