Hugging Face Unveiled Two Open-Source Humanoid Robots

AI development platform Hugging Face released two open-source robots, HopeJr and Reachy Mini. The first few units are expected to be shipped by the end of the year. HopeJR is a humanoid robot capable of walking, moving its arms, and manipulating many objects, with 66 independent movements. It costs under $3,000.  Reachy Mini is a desktop unit that can move its head, talk, listen, and be used to test AI apps. The cost will be around $300. “The important aspect is that these robots are open source, so anyone can assemble, rebuild, and understand how they work, and that they’re affordable, so that robotics doesn’t get dominated by just a few big players with dangerous black-box systems,” the company’s co-founder and CEO, Clem Delangue, told TechCrunch. This robot release was made possible in part by the company’s acquisition of humanoid robotics startup Pollen Robotics, which was announced in April. UPDATE JUL 9, 2025: Hugging Face said it plans to release two versions of the Reachy Mini. The first, Reachy Mini Wireless, will cost $449 and run a Raspberry Pi 5 mini computer. The second version is the Reachy Mini Lite, which requires a connection to a computing source and is priced at $299. The open-source robots are fully programmable in Python and come with a set of pre-installed demos, as well as integration with the Hugging Face Hub, which provides users with access to more than 1.7 million AI models and over 400,000 datasets.

ChatGPT's iOS and Android App Can Now Search the Web

ChatGPT's iOS and Android App Can Now Search the Web

OpenAI, this week, announced that Plus users on the mobile iOS and Android ChatGPT app can now use Browsing for queries relating to current events and other information that extend original training data, that is, the year 2021. This feature can be enabled by selecting "GPT-4" and choosing "Browser with Bing." The fact that Bing is the only search engine available draws critics, as the users don't have any alternatives to choose from. Techcrunch wrote: "Limiting ChatGPT’s search capabilities to Bing seems just short of a user-hostile move. The business motivations are obvious — OpenAI has a close partnership with Microsoft, which has invested over $10 billion in the startup — but Bing is far from the be-all and end-all of search engines." Recently, a Stanford study showed evidence that Bing’s top search results contained an “alarming” amount of disinformation. On the other hand, also this week, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman told some developers that his company wants to turn it into a "supersmart personal assistant for work." With built-in knowledge about an individual and their workplace, this assistant could carry out tasks such as drafting emails or documents in that person’s style and with up-to-date information about their business. The assistant features could put OpenAI on a collision course with Microsoft, its primary business partner, investor, and cloud provider, as well as with other OpenAI software customers such as Salesforce. Those firms also want to use OpenAI’s software to build AI "copilots" for people to use at work. .

What Are the Most Important Learning Analytics?

What Are the Most Important Learning Analytics?

There are many important learning analytics, but some of the most important ones include completion rates, time on task, engagement levels, achievement rates, and the use of learning resources. These metrics can provide valuable insights into how well students are learning and how effective a given teaching method or learning environment is. By tracking these metrics, educators can identify areas for improvement and make more informed decisions about how to best support student learning. Other important learning analytics might include: – Student progress over time: This metric can help educators understand how well students are progressing in their learning, and whether they are making the expected amount of progress given their starting point. – Student feedback: Gathering and analyzing student feedback can provide valuable insights into how students perceive their learning experience, and can help identify areas where students are struggling or where the learning environment is not meeting their needs. – Learner demographics: Understanding the demographics of the students in a given class or program can help educators tailor their teaching approach and learning materials to better meet the needs of their students. – Learner behavior: Analyzing how students interact with learning materials and resources can provide valuable insights into how they approach learning and what strategies are most effective for them. – Learning outcomes: Tracking learning outcomes can help educators understand the effectiveness of their teaching methods and the overall quality of the learning experience. By comparing learning outcomes across different classes or programs, educators can identify best practices and make more informed decisions about how to improve student learning. What's the best way to track learner feedback? One of the best ways to track learner feedback is to use surveys or other tools that allow students to provide their opinions and experiences with the learning environment. Surveys can be administered regularly (e.g., at the end of each unit or course) to gather ongoing feedback from students. Surveys can be designed to ask specific questions about different aspects of the learning experience, such as the quality of the materials, the effectiveness of the teaching methods, and the overall satisfaction with the learning environment.
