Key points Primary goal: create licenseable robotics software (an OS/platform) rather than mass-market hardware. Technical focus: develop a "world model" to run simulations that animate dexterous hands and more complex behaviors over time.

US District Judge Paul Friedman has ruled that the Department of Defense presented sufficient evidence to keep DJI on the Pentagon’s list of "Chinese military companies." The court found DJI’s drone technology has both substantial theoretical and actual military application, and that DJI’s internal policies barring military use do not negate that reality. Key points Judge: Paul Friedman (ruling date: Sept 26, 2025). DJI argued it is "neither owned nor controlled by the Chinese military" and that its policies bar military use; the court said policy statements don’t change actual application. DJI has faced prior US restrictions: added to the Commerce Department Entity List in 2020 and to a Treasury list in 2021 amid allegations including surveillance in Xinjiang. The company now faces a potential US import ban by the…
