A robot broke the human half-marathon record by 6 minutes, OpenAI's next model leaked, and Q1 layoff numbers are in.
Honor's "Lightning" robot finished the Beijing half-marathon in 50 minutes 26 seconds — beating the human world record (57m20s held by Jacob Kiplimo) by over 6 minutes. Last year's fastest robot took 2 hours 40 minutes for the same distance.
Dozens of humanoid robots ran alongside 12,000 human runners, with nearly half navigating autonomously. Despite the breakthrough, some robots still stumbled at the start or veered into barriers.
