-Suggests add-ons based on what's popular
-Handles modifications and substitutions
-Wakes up as guests walk toward it
-Uses three directional mics to cut noise
 Priced at $1,999.

We are releasing Ultramarine 1 Flash, a frontier-class model built for knowledge work. It is open-source and achieves similar performance to Fable 5, while being 60x cheaper. It was post-trained by a team of 5 for ~$300k all-in. Available on API now, with weights releasing in 2 weeks.

This thing is stunning. Square always makes gorgeous hardware. I firmly believe the future of physical retail and restaurants will offer customers a hybrid experience — both a Kiosk like this, as well as a person. Best of both worlds.
