Image prompt: A cinematic photograph of a Tudor stone chamber with a large ornate mirror on an oak table, its reflection showing infinite nested mirrors rather than the room, symbolizing recursive self-examination. A leather law book and candlelight complete the scene, evoking judicial contemplation and the paradox of systems judging themselves.

Meta just made training AI agents 25x faster. This is a breakthrough for robotics and complex planning. Meta’s FAIR open sourced a new method called Scalable Option Learning. It trains a specialized agent at the scale previously seen only with LLMs. Here’s how it works: The https://x.com/JacksonAtkinsX/status/1967284333678350342

Happy to see a failed live demo 100/100 times rather than a BS scripted demo Making new technology is hard Having to demo it live takes balls Big props to Meta for giving it a shot 👏”” / X https://x.com/mrdbourke/status/1968506328613347797

Meta AI’s live demo failed for the entire minute 😢 https://x.com/nearcyan/status/1968468841786126476

Surface EMG is magical. Meta managed to squeeze this tech into a svelte wristband to pair with their Ray-Ban AR glasses. Here’s how it works. Imagine walking around your home controlling any display / device with Vision Pro like touch gestures. https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1967805086379413821

The Meta Raybans thing is very cool regardless of live demo failures”” / X https://x.com/aidangomez/status/1968609969848164641

The new Meta Rayban glasses w/ an in-lens display are cool, but the EMG wristband is INSANE. Signals through the wrist are so clear that surface EMG can understand finger motion of a millimeter. Literal sci-fi gesture input is here. https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1967690327751528451

Happy to land this data-efficient model! Our team is dedicated to building cutting-edge, efficient reasoning models. We are excited to release MobileLLM-R1, a series of sub-billion parameter reasoning models. Collaborating w/ @zechunliu, Changsheng Zhao et al.”” / X https://x.com/erniecyc/status/1966511167053910509

We have released small-scale reasoning models MobileLLM-R1 (0.14B, 0.35B, 0.95B) that are trained from scratch with just 4.2T pre-training tokens (10% of Qwen3), while its reasoning performance is on-par with Qwen3-0.6B. Thanks the three core contributors for their great work!”” / X https://x.com/tydsh/status/1967476530826854674

Meta MobileLLM-R1-140M, which can run 100% locally in your browser, no server inference required vibe coded a chat app powered by transformers.js in anycoder https://x.com/_akhaliq/status/1967460621802438731

Thanks @_akhaliq for sharing our work! MobileLLM-R1 marks a paradigm shift. Conventional wisdom suggests that reasoning only emerges after training on massive amounts of data, but we prove otherwise. With just 4.2T pre-training tokens and a small amount of post-training,”” / X https://x.com/zechunliu/status/1966560134739751083

Meta just dropped MobileLLM-R1 on Hugging Face a edge reasoning model with fewer than 1B parameters 2×–5× Performance Boost over other fully open-source models: MobileLLM-R1 achieves ~5× higher MATH accuracy vs. Olmo-1.24B, and ~2× vs. SmolLM2-1.7B.

Meta scrapping Unity to build their own game engine (Horizon Engine) is really interesting. I doubt it has as much to do with the Unity tax and more so to allow them to vertically integrate with all their own layers of ~SOTA AI starting with gaussian splatting”” / X https://x.com/nearcyan/status/1968475789021852075

i found a ‘real’ recording (rare because difficult to capture with a camera) one thing i underestimated was realizing you can do the gestures behind your back, under your covers laying in bed, etc (as this is rarely done in a demo). very cool https://x.com/nearcyan/status/1968581348706189726

I unironically think this is good for meta team. They managed to * prove that generally their live demo are not fake * lower the expectation for meta products, so next time they deliver banger it will look like massive improvements”” / X https://x.com/cloneofsimo/status/1968484339416453344

The Hyperscape Capture on Quest 3 is as impressive as it looks in the demo, although maybe a bit of blur with very fast head movements? I’ve just downloaded the software (thanks US VPN!) and have had a look around Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen. Very cool.
