  • Quantum Readiness for Federal Agencies: Practical Steps for Hybrid Classical-Quantum Workflows
    November 7, 2025, 10:04 PM EST. Two leaders from General Dynamics Information Technology and IonQ outline a practical path to quantum readiness for federal agencies. The discussion highlights four core steps: map and mobilize data to uncover usable quantum-ready assets; simulate often - even without hardware to validate ideas and de-risk deployments; build hybrid workflows that blend classical + quantum processing; and push vendors to solve real government problems. By focusing on data strategy, iterative testing, and vendor collaboration, agencies can move from theory to action, accelerate pilots, and mature quantum capabilities in a controlled, mission-centric way. Watch the full discussion for concrete guidance and examples.
  • XPENG's IRON humanoid robot wows with lifelike motion, even cut open on stage to prove it's real
    November 7, 2025, 10:02 PM EST. XPENG unveiled IRON, a humanoid robot with lifelike movement at AI Day in Guangzhou. The robot uses a flexible spine, articulated joints and bionic muscles to move with a model-like swagger. Its onboard architecture combines a born-from-within design and an all-solid-state battery. With 82 degrees of freedom (including 22 in each hand) and three custom AI chips delivering about 2,250 TOPS of compute, IRON aims for humanlike interaction without translating vision to language first. The machine features an internal endoskeleton and full-coverage skin to feel warmer and more intimate, and Xpeng envisions customizable options like sex, hair length, and clothing. IRON is slated for mass production, though chores are not on the near-term roadmap due to safety and usability concerns.
