🦾 EngineAI unveils combat-ready humanoid robot fighter

China’s EngineAI has introduced the T800, a full-size humanoid robot built for high-intensity movement and marketed as “combat ready.” It stands 5.6 feet tall, weighs 75 kilograms, and uses 29 joints, high-torque motors, active cooling, and an NVIDIA AGX Orin module to perform fast turns and flying kicks. The reveal video offers a telling visual comparison: the T800 is shown meeting EngineAI's previous model, the PM01 (best known for its viral backflips), which appears diminutive beside the new flagship

EU launches AI plan to catch US and China

The EU will begin accepting bids in early 2026 for companies to build five new AI gigafactories, backed by a 20 billion euro commitment. Each site is expected to host about 100,000 chips, far more than today’s European facilities, though the chips themselves will mostly come from NVIDIA and other non-EU manufacturers.

⏪  Meta is Acquiring AI Device Startup Limitless

Limitless is really living up to its new name. The AI startup formerly known as Rewind has been acquired by Meta for an undisclosed amount. The company, known for its AI-powered pendant to record your conversations, will no longer sell its hardware devices and will maintain support for its existing customers for a year.

🚀 SpaceX is Planning a Late-2026 IPO at an $800Bn Valuation

SpaceX is prepping for a major launch. Of its IPO, that is. Elon Musk’s space company has reportedly been telling investors to watch the second half of 2026 for a potential IPO with CFO Bret Johnsen lining up a secondary share sale that values the business at about $800 billion, roughly double the price tag buyers agreed to in a tender earlier this year.

📰 The New York Times is Suing Perplexity

The AI lawsuits are piling up. The New York Times filed suit today against AI search startup Perplexity for copyright infringement, its second lawsuit against an AI company. The Times is one of several media outlets filing suits against Perplexity this week, including the Chicago Tribune.

AI Tutorial

Build a Full Web Workflow Using AI

1. Log into Ripplica to create a New Workflow and name your workflow (e.g., “Check Amazon Product Price”)

2. Add a trigger to choose and schedule when the workflow should start.

3. Now you can add your first AI action by either recording your screen while you perform the task or by uploading a ready-made video.

4. Or you can skip the video and write your task as a series of simple steps in natural language that the AI can understand.

5. Depending on the process, the AI may require additional steps or certain inputs, like logins, to complete the full workflow.

Software sprawl? That’s SaaD.

Software was supposed to make work easier. Instead, most teams are buried under it.

That’s SaaD – Software as a Disservice. Dozens of disconnected tools waste time, duplicate work, and inflate costs.

Rippling changes the story. By unifying HR, IT, and Finance on one platform, Rippling eliminates silos and manual busywork.

• HR? One update applies to payroll, benefits, app access, and device provisioning instantly.

• Finance? Close the books 7x faster with synced data.

• IT? Manage hundreds of devices with a single click.

Companies like Cursor, Clay, and Sierra have already left outdated ways of working behind – gaining clarity, speed, and control.

Don’t get SaaD. Get Rippling.
