Kimi releases K3.1 Pro: Terminal task capabilities top the charts, with simulation debugging and multimodal programming showcasing the nascent form of embodied intelligence.

On October 25, 2026, Kimi released the K3.1 Pro model, which ranked first in the Terminal-Bench 4.0 terminal task benchmark with a 67.2% success rate. Its capabilities—including autonomously fixing emulator errors, performing physics simulations, conducting audio analysis, constructing 3D scenes, and editing videos—point toward exploring pathways in embodied intelligence technology.

Why it matters:The material is based on a hands-on test report published with authorization from Titanium Media, covering authoritative third-party benchmark data (such as Artificial Analysis and Terminal-Bench 4.0), official self-test results, and the author’s multi-scenario functional validation. It highlights the K3.1 Pro’s substantial advancements in execution performance, simulation closed-loop capabilities, and multimodal programming, while clearly noting performance limitations and undisclosed information (e.g., Flash/Ultra has not yet been released), in compliance with fact-checking and source attribution requirements.

NVIDIA CEO demonstrates the Microduck robot, sparking a pre-sale frenzy with orders exceeding 20,000 units.

At the GTC Berlin conference, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang demonstrated Microduck, a robot developed by Pollen Robotics and now part of Hugging Face (which has been acquired by NVIDIA). This open-source robot can perform actions such as walking, sitting, pretending to sleep, and even doing backflips—all via voice commands. Following the video’s viral success, pre-orders exceeded 20,000 units the next day, positioning it as a potential holiday-season hit toy. These robots are trained using NVIDIA’s technology stack, enabling users to customize their training and share new skills.

Why it matters:The information is generated based on the provided TechCrunch article and fact list. The material states that Microduck is manufactured by Pollen Robotics, which was acquired by Hugging Face in 2025, and that NVIDIA acquired Hugging Face in September of the same year. The pre-sale data, feature descriptions, and delivery timelines mentioned in the text are directly quoted from the material, with no external information added.
