3 stories we've shipped under this tag. Each is the actual link from the original issue — no rehashing.

• DARPA, U.S. Air Force fly AI-controlled F-16

  This validates reinforcement learning in high-stakes, real-time physical environments, moving beyond simulation to hardware-in-the-loop for complex robotics.

• OpenAI’s first hardware device is reportedly a screenless speaker that can move

  This signals a shift toward low-latency voice-native interfaces and embodied AI, potentially bypassing the smartphone app layer for direct user interaction.

• Jeff Bezos’s Prometheus raises $12B to build an ‘artificial general engineer’ for the physical world

  Massive capital influx signals serious bet on embodied AI for industrial automation. Relevant if you're building robotics/physical systems, but $41B valuation on pre-product stage warrants skepticism on actual technical progress vs. hype.
