UPS Flirts with a Futuristic Workforce

In a move straight out of a sci-fi screenplay, UPS is cozying up to robotics startup Figure AI, eyeing a future where humanoid robots might soon don the brown uniform, at least figuratively. Sources whisper that the logistics titan and Figure have been chatting about this partnership since last year, though neither is ready to spill all the beans. What these 5-foot-6 mechanical recruits would actually do is still under wraps, but Figure teased the world with a slick video showing a robot coolly sorting parcels beside a conveyor belt basically, every package’s last stop before your porch. As Big Tech and startups race to make robots more people-like (cue the “Westworld” jokes), Figure has risen as a major player, even attracting talk of a $1.5 billion funding round. Of course, some skeptics are side-eyeing Figure’s claims, especially after questions about its BMW relationship. UPS, playing it coy, simply said it’s always exploring new tech—no name-dropping here. One thing’s clear: as automation ramps up and robots outnumber humans 15-to-1 at some UPS warehouses, the future of logistics might just involve a lot fewer coffee breaks and a lot more charging stations.

💡 Did You Know?

AI doesn’t just think….it forgets too: Large AI models can be intentionally trained to "forget" specific data or skills if needed, through a process called machine unlearning. Handy if you want your AI to stop recommending that one embarrassing product you searched once at 2 AM.

Huawei Gears Up to Challenge Nvidia’s AI Throne

Huawei is getting ready to test its newest and most powerful AI chip, the Ascend 910D, aiming to take a direct swing at Nvidia’s dominance. According to reports, Huawei has been quietly pitching Chinese tech firms to test-drive the chip, hoping it can outperform Nvidia’s prized H100, a chip so advanced, the U.S. banned its sale to China before it even hit the shelves. Huawei is expecting its first batch of the Ascend 910D by late May, while mass shipments of its previous model, the 910C, could kick off next month. For years, Chinese chipmakers have been racing to catch up with Nvidia’s AI hardware, which is crucial for training powerful machine learning models. Now, with U.S. restrictions tightening, Huawei is betting big that homegrown innovation can fill the gap and maybe even steal the spotlight. Both Huawei and Nvidia stayed tight-lipped when asked for comments, but make no mistake: the next round of the AI chip wars is officially on.
