Fable 5.2 "Crash" Ant Lingbo Tactile Model, CEO Zhu Xing: The collaboration of the two types of models will accelerate the maturity of the embodied industry

On November 10, the same day Claude Fable 5.2 was released, Ant Lingbo Technology open sourced the basic tactile model LingBot-Touch. A general large model for the digital world and an embodied basic model for closed-loop physical operations came into public view on the same day. The relationship between these two technical routes is the focus of current discussions in the embodied intelligence industry. In Ant Lingbo's view, the general large model and the embodied basic model are closer to a 1+1>2 synergistic relationship: the former enhances the understanding and reasoning of tasks and environments, and the latter complements physical perception and closed-loop operation capabilities. Only when the two go hand in hand can they jointly accelerate the maturity of the embodied industry. The open source LingBot-Touch is based on nearly 5,000 hours of real tactile data pre-training and covers three mainstream sensing principles: magnetic tactile, visual tactile and piezoresistive. It can convert different signals into the same set of tactile representations for use by different dexterous hands and action models, allowing the robot to "see clearly and think clearly" while further complementing the tactile perception required for fine operations. Previously, Ant Lingbo's universal brain has covered high-precision spatial perception, highly dynamic environment interaction and generalizable dexterous operations. This time, LingBot-Touch has been connected to LingBot-VLA, extending the sensing capabilities to the "fingertips", making the robot "touch more sensitive", and the hand-eye coordination ability of the native universal brain has been further improved. 26 real-machine tests, the task success rate increased by 14 to 26 percentage points. As general-purpose large models continue to advance, the robot's ability to understand complex tasks and reason about operation steps is increasing. But in the real physical world, every time a robot performs an action, it must sense changes in objects and the environment, and then correct the next action. In many delicate operations, the robot can clearly see where the object is.

From popular crowdfunding to now on sale, Miaodong Technology’s Beni robot creates a new perspective in imaging

On November 10, 2026, consumer robot company Miaodong Technology announced that its world's first multi-terrain tracking robot Beni is officially on sale: the standard set is priced at 4,999 yuan, and the exploration set is priced at 5,799 yuan. Domestic users can purchase it through JD.com, and it will be shipped immediately. A month ago, Beni set a record for the largest crowdfunding amount in the history of consumer robots on the Kickstarter platform, raising more than US$5 million and 7,926 backers around the world. Today, it has moved from “crowdfunding hot product” to “spot sales” stage. For Miaodong Technology, which was founded less than two years ago, the launch of Beni is not only the launch of its first product for global users, but also the integration of cutting-edge robotics technology and professional imaging engineering to explore the first implementation scenario of embodied intelligence in the consumer market. From "people holding cameras" to "camera following people": robots open up a new space for imaging. If the existing consumer-level imaging hardware is divided according to "perspective × scene": action cameras occupy "first perspective × sports", drones occupy "aerial perspective × travel scenery", handheld pan-tilt cameras occupy "handheld perspective × daily Vlog", but in the quadrant of "ground perspective × sports and daily life", they have been blank for a long time. Beni is filling this gap - unlike equipment that relies on handheld, fixed installation or gimbal rotation, and unlike aerial tracking equipment, Beni combines the structure of a two-wheeled robot with professional imaging engineering, allowing the shooting equipment to move autonomously on the ground to achieve autonomous tracking on multiple terrains and angles. In sports scenarios, this capability brings a whole new experience. Runners no longer need to repeatedly set up equipment and adjust the camera position, and can record their running status through side or rear tracking; tennis enthusiasts can record their running status in a fixed panoramic view

Starting from 239,800 yuan, Zhiji LS8 NEO begins to counter the "configuration list"

In the past two years, 250,000-yuan new energy SUVs have easily fallen into a kind of homogeneity. Refrigerators, color TVs, and large sofas are becoming more and more common, and 800V and high-end assisted driving have gradually changed from the selling points of a few models to an increasingly standardized configuration list. So an interesting question arises: When everyone has these things, how can one car rely on to widen the gap? On November 5, the Zhiji LS8 NEO pure electric product was officially launched, with an equity price starting from 239,800 yuan. The answer given by this car is somewhat "returning to nature". This time Zhiji did not just emphasize a certain new function, but directly set the promotional slogan into eight words: build cars seriously, build cars with good technology. At first glance, this doesn’t seem like the sexiest expression of the new energy era. But in today's market environment, it is worth considering. In the past few years, China's new energy vehicles have quickly completed a round of equipment parity: seats, speakers, and refrigerators that only cost hundreds of thousands of yuan for luxury cars have been decentralized to the 200,000 yuan level; high-voltage fast charging, large-model cockpits, and high-end assisted driving have become increasingly difficult to become the unique story of a car company. The industry begins to enter the next stage. Consumers will eventually ask some very simple questions again: how does this car drive, whether the safety redundancy is sufficient, whether the battery and three batteries are reliable, whether it is comfortable to sit on, and whether it will be outdated in a few years. What LS8 NEO wants to fight for is actually these things. As the configurations become more and more similar, the chassis begins to re-determine the character of a car. The core difference of LS8 NEO still comes from the chassis. All new cars are equipped with a fully wired Skink chassis and are equipped with two-way 24° rear-wheel steering. According to official data, the minimum turning radius of this large SUV can reach 4.85 meters. Steer-by-wire has further changed the logic of traditional mechanical steering systems. There is a mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels of a traditional car

Apple CEO urges the team to speed up Siri development: two major improvements will be implemented in the next few months. Today’s headlines: The character of his beloved wife after 41 years has collapsed! Jen-Hsun Huang lost 3 trillion overnight and may be dismissed from NVIDIA. According to news on November 10, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang's recent private extramarital affair scandal triggered a violent chain reaction in the capital market. The company's US stock price fell 8.8% during the session. Calculated based on NVIDIA's total market value of approximately US$4.5 trillion before the scandal was exposed, the largest intraday market value shrinkage that day was close to US$396 billion (approximately 2.81 trillion yuan), directly setting a record for the largest single-day market value loss of a global listed company due to a personal scandal involving an executive. During this sharp fluctuation in stock prices, the book value of Nvidia shares directly held by Huang Renxun himself also shrank by approximately US$14.3 billion, which is approximately 101.5 billion yuan when converted into RMB. As previously reported, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to cheating on November 8, and Nvidia has launched an investigation into him. Dan Ives, partner and senior managing director of Yorkville Ives, an American investment institution, said: "Obviously, based on the findings of the board of directors, Huang Renxun may be removed from the position of CEO." As the co-founder of Nvidia, Huang Renxun has personally
