DeepMind's post-AGI report names four routes to superintelligence — and the bottlenecks that decide them. What its dependency-graph logic means for AEC offices.

Why a chart is a sentence you compose, not a template you pick — the grammar of graphics from Wilkinson to ggplot2 to Flutter, for AEC dashboards.

NVIDIA's cuTile Rust brings memory-safe, data-race-free CUDA kernels to Rust — 2.07 PFlop/s on a B200 with no runtime tax. A hands-on PAZ Academy tutorial.

W27 recap: zoning-as-code, the BIM format tax, locally-signed BMS control and PAZ-BOX payback math — one spine, ownership. Draw your dependency graph.

TON 618's mass fell 38% in 2019 with no new data — just a different emission line. A physicist's lesson for anyone trusting a structural digital twin's numbers.

Schindler's R.I.S.E fleet hits seven self-climbing shaft robots with 50,000 anchor bolts set. The fleet model puts the burden back on your IFC shaft model.

How cross-laminated timber turned engineered wood into a two-way structural plate that carries mid-rise buildings - plus the supply-chain risk nobody draws.

How croqaz trained a 340M-param, 1900-cutoff LLM for ~$80 — a clone-and-run template for an atelier's own domain-locked house model. Data curation is the job.

How Matter turns a $7 Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W running rs-matter into a self-describing node — the node/endpoint/cluster/attribute model architects should know.
"The machine doesn't have taste. We have taste. The machine has a tempo."

Gaussian Action Field extends 3D splatting into a 4D robotic-manipulation engine. Why Swiss ateliers should commission it, not license its wrapper.

Admares and ABB Robotics are building AI-enabled modular housing factories. What it means for an architecture practice's IFC round-trip and model ownership.

CORTEX's traceable-reasoning benchmark for 3D CT scans maps straight onto smart buildings: why your BMS must cite the sensor evidence behind every alarm.
A studio in District B-12 has been operating in three time zones for nineteen months, with a permanent night shift that handles the regulator's queue while the rest of the world sleeps. The model: caffeine, clear handoffs, and a refusal to pretend that buildings are designed during business hours. We embedded for two nights.

Every morning at 04:00 the press in the basement of the kaffi spits out 2,400 broadsheets in a font we cut ourselves. The kids pick them up on the way to site, fold them into their toolbelts, and read them at lunch with grease on their fingers. The feed has not killed this. The feed has made it more useful — a single, slow, opinionated edit of a day too noisy to read live.
The print desk takes one position per story. The web desk runs a hundred. Both can be true. The point is that someone, somewhere, is still willing to pick.
There is a reason the best façade we ran this month was sketched on a napkin in the kaffi at 06:12 and not generated in a prompt. The hand still knows things the model has to be told twice.
Every studio we visit now hires straight into a 22:00–06:00 rotation. The juniors love it. The seniors who fought to get out of it find it harder to argue with the throughput numbers.
Hybrid CLT + steel core. Topping out by Q3.
Robotic masonry hits a real spec, not a demo.
And why the big vendors are quietly nervous.
Maps, owners, opening hours, kaffi quality.
