Physical AI is no longer sci-fi We sat down with @brian_armstrong and @chris_anm01 from @axisrobotics to unpack the future of robotics

We’re thrilled to announce a $12M Seed round, led by @hack_vc, with participation from @NomadCapital_io , @PiCoreTeam Ventures , @10kventure and top angel investors. Physical AI has a data problem. Models need more than static datasets—they need diverse data that evolves with them. Axis’s compounding Data Engine is here to fix this gap. Our end-to-end closed-loop workflow unites large-scale simulation, egocentric real-world capture, and human-in-the-loop post-training to unlock scalable production of structured, multi-diverse robotic data — the core missing piece for Physical AI. The capital will accelerate Axis’s mission to build a massively parallel, human-in-the-loop global data engine. We’re just getting started.

Today, we’re announcing Axis V2 — the compounding data engine for Physical AI. Axis V2 delivers scalable online post-training to the Axis data engine, solving Physical AI’s biggest bottlenecks: scale, diversity, and iteration speed. The core paradigm shift is straightforward. Rather than relying solely on pre-defined data collection workflows, a trained policy becomes an active component of the data engine — its failure cases dictate what data is collected next. Policy rollout → Failure states → Targeted tasks → Human-gated corrections → Policy retraining → Enhanced policy → New rollout ♻️ Failures translate into targeted tasks; human corrections power the next iteration of policy training, and the refined policy uncovers the next set of required data. Data and policy now evolve in lockstep within an uninterrupted feedback loop. Full details are outlined below ⬇️

Creek Mainnet is now LIVE on @SuiNetwork 🌊 For the first time, split tokenized gold into stable value and leverage, borrow against it, and trade on-chain. All permissionless. Built on @matrixdock $XAUm. Powered by @SuiNetwork. Start here: app.creek.finance/stake

I'd be happy to store my crypto gains in Gold stables during longer-term crypto uncertainty or bear runs vs. USD stables. Especially as DXY is down by 10% since January. Last cycles it wasn't an option but now gold-backed stablecoins hit a $1.9B market cap. PAX Gold and Tether's each have ~$840M MC. Yet, their onchain liquidity is... not great not terrible.. Trading $1m USDC on Cowswap with 0.76% slippage. Still, liquidity is improving as more DeFi protocols add them as collateral: - Fluid supports both with 9.3% yield - Aave just voted to Temp check to onboard XAUt - Curve supports XAUt-PAXG LP with 2% yield But how fast can they grow? Problem: fiat backed stablecoins earn interest from U.S. Treasuries but gold has no yield. Instead, both Paxos and Tether charge a 0.25% issuing and redeeming fees (although Paxos fees depend on amounts). So profitability depends on their issuance/redemption fees. Obviously, the higher the MC of gold stables, the more transactions will happen thus higher fees are generating. And they need them to get integrated into DeFi and trading platforms. Anyone knows how much both issuers make from Gold stables? btw, fun fact: both issuers hold physical gold, not ETFs. Tether holds it in Switzerland vaults while Paxos in London.

Spent the last decade as a Silicon Valley investor. 120+ bets across AI, Fintech, and Space Tech. I might look like a young gun, but my roots run deep—I know the weight of legacy. Father of 3. I feel the calling to leave my kids something more than money: Resetting from Investor 👉 Founder. Bringing the courage to challenge the future. The raw diary of a son, a father, and a builder.

Every cycle, the same script: easy money → bubbles → pain. If “doing nothing” with your money means being quietly eaten by inflation, what counts as a real anchor anymore? History’s answer to that question has been the same for centuries: gold. medium.com/@creekprotocol/cr…

Let me introduce y’all to a new project called @creekfinance Welcome to Creek - the innovative RWAfi protocol that revolutionizes how gold's value is utilized in decentralized finance. Our protocol allows users to unlock the full potential of gold by separating its value -

🇺🇸 TRUMP: WE WILL IMPOSE A TARIFF OF 100% ON CHINA "It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations. Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software. It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Source: Truth Social
