Hey there,
Big week for AI robots and Web3! Let’s cut through the noise.
🤖 AI + Robotics: Breaking Into the Physical World
1. Google’s Gemini Robotics
- Breakthrough: Combines vision, language, and motion to perform tasks like unscrewing caps or assembling parts.
- Gemini Robotics (VLS): Vision-Language-System built on Gemini 2.0 framework
- Processes visual/text inputs → Generates physical actions (e.g., unscrewing caps, basketball dunks)
- Success rate: 74.5% (vs. 42.6% for legacy systems)1
- Gemini Robotics ER: Embodied Reasoning model for spatial adaptation
- Success Rate: 74.5% in untrained environments (vs. 42.6% for older systems).
- Tech Stack: Built on Gemini 2.0 framework with “Embodied Reasoning” for spatial adaptation.
- Impact: Goldman Sachs forecasts a 63% reduction in industrial training costs by 2027.
2. China’s Manus AI Agent
- Backbone: Alibaba’s Qwen-70B model + Anthropic’s Claude for reasoning.
- Use Case: Generates a 12-page investment report in 23 minutes (vs. 8 hours for analysts).
- Efficiency Gains:
- Market Analysis: 82% success rate, saves 5.5 hrs/week.Candidate Screening: 78% success rate, saves 4.8 hrs/week.MIT Case Study
– MIT Technology Review
3. Unitree Open-Sources Humanoid Tech
- Released G1 robot algorithms for public development
- Demoed 16 H1 robots performing folk dance at China’s Spring Festival Gala
- Forecast: Commercial humanoid applications by 2026
4. MCP: The ‘USB-C’ for AI
Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming the go-to standard for connecting AI agents to business tools.
- What it Solves: No more custom code to link AI to CRMs, databases, or payment systems.
- Adoption: Usage up 317% YoY (used by Microsoft, Salesforce, and Coinbase).
- Why It Wins:
- Open-source & backed by Anthropic.
- Works like a universal plug-and-play for AI.

Web3 Infrastructure: Trustless & Decentralized
1. Presearch’s Decentralized Search Engine
- Key Features:
- Roadmap:
- Q2 2025: First AI-native web crawl.Q3 2025: PRE token governance for search rankings.Join Presearch Beta
2. Korea Blockchain Week 2025
- Focus Areas:
- RWA Tokenization: Bridging $16T in real-world assets (real estate, commodities) to chains.
- Quantum Resistance: New encryption standards for post-quantum threats.
- Speakers: Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum), Helen Hai (UN Blockchain Lead), Jensen Huang (NVIDIA).
3. MoonPay vs. Stripe: The Stablecoin Race
MoonPay acquired Iron (a stablecoin infrastructure platform) in a $100M+ deal, doubling down on enterprise crypto payments.
- Goal: Compete with Stripe by offering businesses stablecoin payments, treasury automation, and 24/7 cross-border transactions.
- Why Iron? Its API-first platform simplifies stablecoin integration for companies.
- Stripe’s Counter: Just spent $1.1B on Bridge Network to build similar tools.
What They’re Saying:
“Digital wallets will be universal. We’re bridging crypto and traditional finance.”
— Ivan Soto-Wright, MoonPay CEO“Clear stablecoin rules will unlock massive value.”
— Patrick Collison, Stripe
Our Take: Expect more mergers as crypto-native firms and fintech giants clash over stablecoins.
