Prioritizing dexterous workflow and zero-shot instruction following, the Natura-1 is Nature Will’s first Physical General Foundation Model aimed at pioneering advanced robotics applications

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, United States, 16th Oct 2026 – Nature Will, a physical AI lab dedicated to building physical AGI, today announced the launch of Natura-1, a 50-billion-parameter physical general foundation model for dexterous hand control and zero-shot instruction following in advanced robotics applications. Pre-trained on over 1 million hours of egocentric human data, the Natura-1 combines instruction following with the ability to manipulate to changing task conditions and sustained actions over extended interactions, bringing the versatility of the hand within reach of a model that connects human intent to physical action.

With the rapid advancements in general AI and large language models, AI models developed for physical applications represent the next frontier in technological progress. Natura-1 showcases that generalization and fine physical control can be learned together in a foundation model for dexterous hands, applicable to any field where fine or delicate manipulations are required as part of the creation process. Built on a 50 billion parameter mixture-of-experts model trained jointly on language, images, video, and action, Natura-1 operates at a 100-millisecond control loop to unify language, vision, and high-degree-of-freedom action that connects language-directed behavior with the physical control.

“We believe general models that can handle every task must exist, and that those models must utilize dexterous hands,” said Ning Ding, CEO of Nature Will. “Natura-1 is our first step towards models that scale from human experience, building infrastructure that enables us to create the model from the ground up and that allows it to scale to any application. The Natura-1 is a 50-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with dexterous manipulation, long-horizon execution, and zero-shot instruction following, making it truly capable of scaling human experience into purposeful action.”

The model represents Nature Will’s first physical foundation model that is capable of general-purpose dexterous manipulation using real hardware, acting as a breakthrough in the development of general foundation models made to interact in the real world. Designed to scale, the model autonomously executes sustained, continuous workflows and follows complex natural language instructions, enabling it to reason through spatial constraints, multi-object relationships, and negative conditions.

Trumpery Times has launched as a satirical website publishing fictional stories and parody articles about entertainment, internet culture and modern media. Every story is clearly labeled as fiction.

Sheridan, Wyoming, United States, 16th Oct 2026 – Trumpery Times has launched as a satirical digital publication that uses parody, exaggeration and fiction to present fictional stories about entertainment, internet culture and popular media. The website is now live at https://trumperytimes.com and is publishing its initial collection of fictional stories and invented profiles.

The publication borrows the familiar language of online media, including headlines, interviews, profiles and feature stories, and uses it as the format for its humorous fiction. Each story begins with a recognizable cultural idea and then develops it into a fictional storyline. All characters, events and situations on the site are fictional and are presented as satire, not as factual reporting.

Coverage includes celebrity culture, film, popular culture and the media industry itself. The publication is written for readers who enjoy satire and parody related to entertainment and media. Familiar formats such as headline-driven stories, celebrity profiles and entertainment features serve as the framework, while the content inside them is invented.

“Satire relies on recognizable subject matter,” said Lucas Komerlin, founder of Trumpery Times. “Readers need to recognize the starting point before the story moves into fiction. Trumpery Times starts with familiar subjects and develops them into fictional stories.”

That approach shapes how every story on the site is built. A familiar idea provides the starting point, and exaggeration is used to develop the story. As the story develops, the connection to reality gradually loosens until the situation on the page is clearly invented. The goal is for readers to recognize where a story began while following how the story develops.

“Each story begins with a familiar idea and then develops into an invented situation,” said Komerlin. “The challenge is deciding how far that idea can be extended while keeping a clear connection to what inspired it.”

The publication’s tagline, “Don’t Believe Everything You Read,” reflects the purpose of the publication. It signals that the site is built for entertainment and that its stories are not intended to be taken as news. Stories are written as clearly labeled fiction, and the familiar formats of media are used as a creative device, not as a way to mislead.

“The intention is not to disguise fiction as news, but to use the familiar language of news and popular media to create satire,” said Komerlin.

Trumpery Times combines recognizable cultural references with fictional characters, invented situations and exaggerated narratives, organized around entertainment, film, popular culture and media-themed features.

Trumpery Times aims to give readers a space where familiar parts of contemporary culture appear in fictional and exaggerated forms. Visitors can browse the initial collection of satirical stories and fictional profiles through the website.

About Trumpery Times

Trumpery Times is a satirical digital publication covering entertainment, popular culture and modern media through parody, exaggeration and fictional storytelling. The publication presents familiar cultural ideas through fictional storylines and invented characters. Trumpery Times is operated by Raya Do Yaya LLC.

Trumpery Times Launches Satirical Humor Website Featuring Fictional Characters and Parody Stories

Wingsure COFFEA is a deep-tech platform that creates a reusable farm intelligence layer for sustainability, sourcing, production, compliance, risk and finance while helping growers build value from their own farm records.

NEW YORK, September 2026: Wingsure, a deep-tech agricultural intelligence company and SRI spinout built on foundational technology developed with SRI, announced on September 28, 2026, the launch of Wingsure COFFEA, a platform that captures and verifies farm-level evidence and turns it into decision-grade intelligence for the global coffee sector.

Coffee connects millions of smallholder farms across diverse growing regions with a global market facing mounting climate risk, productivity challenges and sustainability requirements. Companies increasingly need credible farm-level intelligence to support traceability and deforestation safeguards, strengthen sourcing, understand production and quality, manage risk, support growers and make better-informed investment decisions.

Today, the same farm may be assessed separately for sustainability, sourcing, production, certification, finance and risk. This can create repeated work for growers while leaving enterprises with fragmented and often static views of farm conditions. Wingsure COFFEA takes a different approach: capture evidence at the farm, verify it at the source, build the farm record over time, and make that intelligence reusable across multiple programmes and business decisions. 

“What excites us about coffee is the opportunity to bring years of foundational deep-tech work to one of the world’s most important agricultural ecosystems – and to do it in a way that creates value on both sides of the farm gate,” said Avi Basu, Founder and CEO of Wingsure. “We have been fortunate to learn alongside some of the most respected organizations and people in coffee. One lesson has become very clear: a farm cannot be understood through a periodic form, a declaration, or a satellite image alone. It is a living system.”

“Our job is to turn what is happening on that farm into trusted intelligence that gets better over time. For the grower, that means a farm record that becomes more valuable with every season. For the enterprise, it means a common intelligence foundation for better decisions across sustainability, sourcing, production, risk and finance.”

For growers, the platform is designed to ensure that their knowledge, observations and actions do not disappear into disconnected surveys and programs. A farm record can become progressively more useful, helping growers demonstrate practices and progress, receive more relevant advisory support and, through participating in programmes, connect verified information with economic opportunities such as incentives, insurance and credit.

Using the smartphone already in a grower’s hand, Wingsure combines augmented-reality guided capture, multilingual voice capabilities, agronomic knowledge, computer vision, geospatial analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Field observations can be geotagged, timestamped and converted into machine-readable records, including in offline environments. Satellite and drone context can further enrich the farm record.

“AI is only as credible as the evidence beneath it,” said Dr. Bikram Sengupta, Co-founder and CTO of Wingsure. “Our architecture keeps every insight connected to what was captured, where and when. That allows verification, inference and prediction to become part of one traceable intelligence system. The goal is not simply more data. It is intelligence you can trust.”

Together, these capabilities create a living intelligence layer spanning crop condition, farming practices, production signals and risk. Instead of becoming another isolated point solution, the platform is designed to support existing enterprise sustainability, sourcing, traceability, carbon, finance and risk systems by giving them a stronger, evidence-grounded understanding of the farm.

Perspectives from leaders across the coffee and agricultural risk ecosystem working with Wingsure underscore the importance of trusted farm-level intelligence in supporting growers, strengthening agricultural systems and improving enterprise decision-making.

Álvaro Gaitán, Technical Manager of the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC), one of the world’s most influential producer-led coffee organizations, representing more than half a million coffee-growing families in Colombia and behind the globally recognised Juan Valdez® brand, said:

“As a grower-led institution, FNC is focused on building the next generation of capabilities Colombian coffee producers will need to compete globally. Better, more timely farm intelligence is central to that vision. We are engaging with Wingsure to explore how its technology can complement FNC’s existing capabilities and help strengthen the coffee ecosystem for Colombian growers.”

From the agricultural risk and financial services side, Madhukar Sinha, President – Govt & Rural Business, Tata AIG General Insurance Company Ltd., one of India’s leading private general insurers and a joint venture between the Tata Group and AIG, said:

“Agricultural insurance has an important role to play in building farmer resilience, but achieving that at scale requires a much clearer and more timely understanding of what is actually happening at the farm. Wingsure’s approach is compelling because it connects verified field evidence with the intelligence needed for risk assessment and decision-making. The ability to create a trusted, continuously developing record of the farm can be valuable not only for insurance, but across the broader agricultural ecosystem. We believe Wingsure is addressing an important challenge with technology that has the potential to operate at a meaningful scale.”

The launch builds on Wingsure’s work across coffee and other crops to capture, verify, and analyse farm-level information for applications including crop health monitoring, damage and loss assessment, regenerative and sustainable practices verification, production and risk intelligence, agricultural insurance and credit. The platform traces its origins to computer vision and augmented reality technology developed by Wingsure in collaboration with SRI.

In coffee, Wingsure is extending this foundation into yield intelligence and coffee science applications, supported by real-world validation. Over time, each observation, intervention, and season compounds the intelligence around the farm – creating a persistent foundation from which new questions can be answered without rebuilding the evidence base each time.

The launch coincides with Wingsure’s participation in two major global coffee gatherings in Switzerland: the Global Coffee Platform’s 10th Anniversary Celebration in Geneva on September 30 and the Swiss Coffee Trade Association’s 17th Forum & Dinner in Montreux on October 1 – 2 – bringing industry leaders together around the future of coffee.
