Unitree has just released the R1, a full-size humanoid robot priced at only $5,900, making it one of the most affordable AI-powered robots ever sold to the public. The R1 features advanced mobility, voice recognition, real-time visual input, and an open SDK for developers, allowing it to walk, flip, balance, and interact using AI. This marks a major milestone in humanoid robotics, with China now leading the push to bring agile, intelligent robots into everyday life.

🧠 What You’ll See:
•⁠ ⁠Zhipu just dropped GLM-4.5, a 355B MoE model with unmatched efficiency
•⁠ ⁠GLM-4.5 beats Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, and even rivals GPT-4 in real benchmarks
•⁠ ⁠Massive 128K context, 200 tokens/sec speed, and ultra-low pricing
•⁠ ⁠Fully open-source under MIT license—run it, fine-tune it, or deploy it yourself
•⁠ ⁠Live demos show it coding full apps, controlling tools, and reasoning like a real agent

🚨 Why It Matters:
This isn’t just another AI model release. GLM-4.5 might be the most capable and accessible open-source model ever built. It’s fast, smart, cheap, and agent-ready—making it a serious threat to closed systems like GPT-4 and Claude. China’s open-source AI race just hit a new level.
