Elon Musk predicts AI will double US GDP growth to 4% next year, contrasting with conservative forecasts citing high interest rates and productivity lags. While AI capital spending may reach 3% of GDP by 2029, experts note historical delays in translating investment into economic gains. Fed rate hikes add uncertainty, potentially hindering smaller businesses despite continued heavy tech infrastructure spending.

Hugging Face's Pollen Robotics open-sourced Microduck, a 25cm, 800g mini bipedal robot. Powered by Rockchip RK3566, it executes 15 servos at 50Hz and performs actions like walking, rolling, and object manipulation via reinforcement learning. The project features Sim2Real transfer using PPO and domain randomization, with an ONNX model deployed on real hardware. Built in Rust, its service-oriented architecture ensures safety and seamless OTA updates with automatic rollback. This platform offers a complete pipeline from simulation to deployment for embodied intelligence research.

Liquid AI and Hugging Face have released DSpark draft model checkpoints for the three LFM2.5 series models, featuring a speculative decoding path that boosts inference throughput by up to 3.18 times on GPUs and 2.87 times on edge devices without affecting output quality. It cuts LFM2.5-2.6B’s function call latency by 57% in edge agent scenarios, reaching 139 tokens per second on M4Max MacBook Pro, lowering local deployment barriers and offering better performance than some proprietary cloud models. The technology addresses memory bandwidth constraints in traditional inference by using a lightweight draft model to generate candidate tokens, which are validated uniformly. It consists of a parallel backbone network, a sequential head, and a confidence scheduling validator. The initial draft model uses an attention-only 5-layer 9-block architecture with around 300 million parameters. Output accuracy remains unchanged from baseline greedy decoding. DSpark is compatible with SGLang and llama.cpp at launch.
