OpenRouter Royale: Last Agent Standing — Claude or Grok?
Hacker News (AI keywords)8 hours agoBenchmarkOpenRouter's 'Royale: Last Agent Standing' frames AI model selection as a high-stakes elimination contest for autonomous agents. The post provocatively asks which model — Claude or Grok — you would trust when an AI agent is acting in the real world on your behalf. It positions agentic model choice as a critical, consequential decision rather than a casual preference.
AI Coding Agents Can Autonomously Direct Robot Training, NVIDIA Demonstrates
Ars Technica AI10 hours agoPaperNVIDIA has introduced a self-improvement program for robots that delegates training direction to teams of AI coding agents rather than human engineers. The system enabled robots to learn precise physical tasks, including installing GPUs and cutting zip-ties. The approach signals that agentic AI paradigms developed for software are now being applied to embodied robotics training pipelines.
