Robotics requires model progress to translate into reliable physical action and sustained operation in real environments.

Before any legislation, the government is starting with "report when something goes wrong," showing the gap it most wants to close is information.

Revenue scale is no longer the open question for model companies; valuation now hinges on whether revenue grows fast enough to outrun the compute bills already signed.

With large rounds in hand, model companies are starting to spend like big tech: training their own models while using investments to hold a position in the next field.

After a model company raises the money, someone still has to be willing to give up ready compute, and those who have it are often its competitors.

Letting suppliers define the requirements can bring new technology into the military faster, at the cost of procurement no longer starting from neutral.

AI compute contracts keep getting bigger, but the number that matters is whether they can be cancelled: that decides whether the risk ends up with the model company or the compute provider.
