Tesla's team lead for the Optimus AI project has left the company to join Meta. This departure raises questions about the future of Tesla's robotics initiatives as the company continues to innovate in artificial intelligence and electric vehicles.

Meta has unveiled its new AI model, V-JEPA 2, designed to enhance understanding of 3D environments and physical object movements, enabling more human-like decision-making. This open-source world model aims to improve technologies like delivery robots and self-driving cars by allowing machines to reason about their surroundings without extensive labeled data. CEO Mark Zuckerberg's focus on AI is underscored by a planned $14 billion investment in artificial intelligence firm Scale AI.
