Import AI28 Import AI 470: machines should not have rights; SPADE automates environment generation; Hawkeye builds better GPU kernels
METR research finds that AI's acceleration of science is uneven: cybersecurity-vulnerability reports sped up considerably from 2025 to 2026, mathematical research accelerated only slightly, and AI research itself showed no measurable acceleration. A university collaboration proposed SPADE, a self-play framework in which LLMs alternately generate executable training environments and solve them. Qwen3-30B-A3B scored 58.3 across the game-environment suite, an 8.1-point gain over its base model.

Jim Fan · XPicks69 NVIDIA and Berkeley open-source T-Rex methodology for tactile robot learning
Jim Fan announces T-Rex, an open-source tactile robot learning methodology developed through a collaboration between NVIDIA and Berkeley. Its mixture-of-transformer architecture pairs a slow visuomotor expert with a fast tactile expert running at 4 touch ticks per vision tick; a 50-hour (~5,500 episodes) synchronized robot play dataset collected on tactile hand hardware with 22 degrees of freedom is available today on HuggingFace. Extending EgoScale, its training recipe combines human egocentric video pretraining with tactile robot play mid-training, which Fan says helps bridge contact-free pretraining and contact-rich manipulation.
