X Square Beats Figure AI's Benchmark by 45%: China's Humanoid Compression Hits the Leaderboard Again

X Square specifically targeted Figure AI's published benchmark on robotic manipulation tasks - then claimed to have beaten it by 45%. Combined with Wall-B sorting at 70% lower hardware cost, LimX Dynamics matching Figure's capabilities, and Tiangong Omni earning full marks on work tasks, the pattern is structurally clear: Chinese humanoid labs are running a capability-per-dollar compression that mirrors what DeepSeek did to GPT-4.

That NC clause may be the cleanest copyright argument against training data use yet assembled.

Cursor Origin and the Agent Version Control Problem: Why Git Was Never Designed for This
Cursor Origin and the Agent Version Control Problem: Why Git Was Never Designed for This

Cursor has released Origin, an agent-native alternative to GitHub. The framing is provocative, but the problem it addresses is real: git was built for humans making deliberate, discrete commits—not for AI agents generating hundreds of intermediate states per minute. Someone was going to have to solve this. Cursor is betting they should.
