Clio’s $500M milestone arrives just as Anthropic ups the ante

While AI is now being applied to everything from healthcare to customer support, no single use case has yet been nearly as popular or lucrative as code writing.

Jack Newton, co-founder and CEO of Clio, a Canadian law firm management software company, is convinced that legal tech is poised to be the next big winner of the LLMs era. That’s a self-interested claim — 18-year-old Clio is a legal tech company — but the numbers are hard to dismiss.

I Gave My OpenClaw Agent a Physical Body

I recently gave my OpenClaw a real robot arm to play with. The results just about blew my own neural network. The AI agent was able to configure the arm, use it to see and slowly grab things, and even train another AI model to pick up and place specific
