Nvidia dropped its new Jetson Thor robotics computer last week, and it’s basically giving robots a massive brain upgrade. We’re talking about 7.5x more AI processing power than the previous generation, which means robots can finally think and react in real-time instead of stuttering through tasks like they’re buffering a YouTube video from 2009. Here’s […]

OpenAI released its full playbook for prompting gpt-realtime, and it turns out voice AI needs totally different techniques than text models. Here are the game-changing tactics. Essential Realtime prompting techniques Our favorite insight: That last point. Small word swaps like “inaudible” to “unintelligible” can dramatically improve performance. Like GPT-5, the model is incredibly sensitive to precise wording […]
