I'm sponsored by their competitor, Viture: it's an American company, whereas XREAL is headquartered in China, and I like supporting American companies.
Even though a Chinese one was launched in my home. @insta360. I love them too. First camera company to use AI/computer vision to move the image around.
@XREAL_Global has been doing groundbreaking work for a long time.
I've checked them out at CES the last couple of years and other places, and I have a pair myself. They make amazing products.
Google has all my data, and has more data about the world than almost any company because of their work in mapping and autonomous cars.
They also run my TV, my email, my photos, my videos, my location, my calendar, and I'm probably forgetting about five things that Google runs in my life (oh yeah, spreadsheets and documents, and on and on).
Therefore, Google should win in this new genre of AI-driven glasses.
Viture is launching a new product that I really love in a few weeks, and it'll be interesting to see the comparisons between all of them.
I'll do my own, but you know I'm biased because one's paying my bills. And they also pay the bills of Asher, Sam, and Irena.
When I talk to the company executives of @getVITURE Viture, they recognize this reality, too. They know they have to step the game way up to really have a chance against XREAL, who has partnered with Google.
They started making glasses for gamers. And won a loyal fan base.
We're not even through the first quarter of the game.
And Zuckerberg has quite a product coming out too.
At CES, you're going to see a variety of Chinese glasses from a variety of Chinese vendors. I'll be visiting all the companies at CES and trying to break them up into different categories so people can figure out which ones they might buy.
I saw the Snap Specs today and I really loved them: not really for walking around the city, but for working on a plane. I opened a spreadsheet in them, and yeah, it wasn't the sharpest screen I've ever seen. But it was god enough. Especially in a world where agents do all your work.
The new Apple laptop that was shown today looks pretty compelling, too, although I bought a new iMac for a different reason.
I think the new one to beat is actually Snap. If it were just more competitive on price, it would have a real shot at winning a lot of hearts and minds.
Personal note to Evan Spiegel @evanspiegel : whether you win or lose in this new game, you can go to sleep tonight knowing you built a great product.
This post wasn’t contracted (it is extra and from my heart,)so I don’t count it as a paid post. Even though it sort of is.
I’ve always believed that the endgame of spatial computing is something close to the holodeck on Star Trek – computing that feels limitless, immersive, and completely natural.
When we started building Android XR, we knew the early chapters of that story would require bulky headsets. That was the price of admission for the technology at the time.
Today, you can see the transition to the next generation happening in real time.
XREAL just officially launched XREAL AURA, the first wired XR glasses running Android XR. Because they’re dramatically lighter and more balanced than traditional headsets, they cross a critical barrier: you can comfortably keep them on for hours whether watching a movie or getting work done on multiple screens.
I’ve been using a pair recently, and it changes how you think about screens:
🟢 For productivity: I can pull up multiple virtual windows in a public space without anyone seeing my work. It completely changes working on the go.
🟢 For entertainment & daily apps: Because it runs Android, all of your favorite Google Play apps are natively there alongside immersive XR content.
🟢 For everyday life: With Gemini integrated, the glasses understand what you're looking at and can give you hands-free, contextual help as you walk around.
We wanted Android XR to be more than a cool tech demo – we wanted it to fit effortlessly into daily life. Today feels like a huge step in that direction.
Proud of the Google and XREAL teams who pulled this off!

Every day i'm blown away at what i can do in an hour with frontier models like Opus 5.5.
I didn't know what to do with an old iPhone, so I built Bluey, w/ Opus 5.5. It's powered by GPT Realtime 2
(i think... whatever Opus decided to use).
Bluey is an iOS app + mac app that is made to be a computer companion. It can point, comment, and even control my entire computer.

This guy quietly built the best physics textbook on the internet, and he gives it away for free.
His name is Bartosz Ciechanowski.
He is an ex-iOS engineer who writes interactive articles about physics, math, and engineering as a weekend hobby.
The site is called ciechanow.ski.
Open the article on the Mechanical Watch. Drag the watch to spin it. Pull a slider and the case peels away so you can look inside. Wind the mainspring by hand. Slow down time and watch the escapement click, the balance wheel breathe, the date wheel turn.
Nothing is a video. Everything is a live 3D simulation running in your browser tab.
He has done this for:
→ The Moon and its tides
→ GPS satellites
→ Gears and mechanical watches
→ The internal combustion engine
→ Bicycles and how they stay upright
→ Cameras, lenses, and light
→ Sound waves
→ Airfoils and how planes fly
Every article is thousands of words long with dozens of hand-coded interactive diagrams.
He writes them alone in his spare time. He publishes only a few per year. In his own words, he wants to keep the content accessible to everyone without ads or paywalls.
No publisher. No university. No company behind him.
One person is quietly shipping better science education than most universities charge tens of thousands a year for.

While some AI companies are cutting the spines off of books and throwing them in to acid baths, some companies are repairing books so they can be around another few centuries.

BBC literally built the greatest sound library on the internet.
It is called BBC Sound Effects, and it gives you access to more than 30,000 recordings from around the world.
Just search any word, and it instantly finds matching sounds.
You can filter them by category, duration, and even the continent where the sound was recorded.
Every sound can be previewed inside your browser, downloaded, or added to the built-in mixer so you can layer multiple recordings together.
And the archive gets insanely specific.
You can find creaking ships, old typewriters, jungle ambience, distant church congregations, and even someone vigorously washing their hands.
There is a good chance a BBC engineer recorded the exact sound you need decades before you were born.

China just unveiled an AI blackboard at their World AI Conference. Kids learning to build with AI in real time.
Meanwhile American schools are still debating whether students should be allowed to touch it.
One country is training builders. The other is training hiders.
Come back in ten years and tell me which approach produced better engineers.

I have been staring at this for ten minutes and I still cannot fully believe it. Someone used Claude Code to turn a plain Obsidian vault into an actual brain. Not a metaphor. Real brain regions, real neurons, firing live on the screen.
There is a Sensory Cortex, a Hippocampus, a Prefrontal layer, an Association region sitting on 37,000 neurons, each one pulsing at its own rate. At the bottom there is a little box that says feed the brain, type something. You drop in a thought and watch the right regions light up like you just woke something.
And here is what got me. It learns. Every note you add builds new connections, so it gets smarter on its own, every single day. Change one idea and the whole thing shifts, the way a real memory pulls everything around it. Your notes stop sitting there dead and start thinking back.
I used to be proud of my tidy folders. After this they feel like a filing cabinet next to a living mind.
Go watch it fire. You will feel the same thing I did.
P.S. full how to build guide is in the article below.

A YouTuber with 110 million subscribers released a free version of ChatGPT.
His name is Felix Kjellberg. You know him as PewDiePie.
He spent his own money on a 10-GPU computer at home. He used it to run the same kind of AI models that power ChatGPT, but on his own hardware. Then he wrote his own app to chat with them, because the apps that already exist were not good enough.
Then he gave it away for free. Anyone can download it. Anyone can change it. Anyone can run it.
It's called Odysseus.
It runs on your computer. Your data stays on your disk. No account. No tracking. No monthly fee.
What you get:
- A chat window like ChatGPT
- An AI assistant that can browse the web, read your files, and do tasks for you
- A tool that scans your computer and tells you which AI models will work on it
- A research mode that reads many websites and writes you a report
- A side-by-side mode to test two AI models on the same question
- A writing editor where AI helps you, instead of writing for you
- Memory, so the AI remembers your past chats
- Email with AI that sorts your inbox and writes replies for you
- Notes, a to-do list, and a calendar
- Works on your phone too
23,612 stars on GitHub in 2 days. Top of trending all weekend.
ChatGPT Plus costs $20 a month. Claude Pro costs $20 a month. PewDiePie's version costs nothing, runs on your own computer, and the code is open for anyone to read.
This is what AI looked like before the subscription model.

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models.
What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text.
"We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience."
"We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease."
These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours.
And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve.
Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large."
The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.
