Howdy, it’s Barsee again.

Happy Monday, AI family, and welcome back to AI Valley.

Today’s climb through the Valley reveals:

• Claude helped identify 1,000 targets in 24 hours

• WiFi can now see your body without cameras

• Microsoft introduces Copilot Cowork to do tasks for you

• Scientists connect a digital brain to a virtual body

• Plus trending AI tools, posts, and resources

Let’s dive into the Valley of AI…

NEBUIS

Production inference for open-source LLMs

Nebius Token Factory is designed for teams running open-source LLMs in real products. It provides fully managed inference with direct control over how requests are executed, including speculative decoding, cache-aware routing, and post-training tuned to real user traffic.

The result: consistent tail latency, predictable costs, and infrastructure built for AI systems that are already in production.

THROUGH THE VALLEY

1/ Claude helped identify 1,000 targets during Iran strikes

During recent U.S. strikes on Iran, the military used an AI system that helped identify and prioritize up to 1,000 targets within the first 24 hours. The platform, called Maven Smart System and developed by Palantir, processes massive streams of data from satellites, surveillance feeds, and intelligence sources. It integrates Anthropic’s Claude, which assists in suggesting targets, generating coordinates, and reviewing strike outcomes. Claude has since been restricted from future government deployments after disagreements with the Pentagon, though the military will continue using it temporarily until a replacement system is ready.

2/ WiFi can now see your body without cameras

A developer has open-sourced a system that can track a person’s body using nothing but WiFi signals. The project, called WiFi-DensePose and built into a platform named RuView, analyzes how WiFi signals change as they bounce around a room. From those small signal shifts, it can estimate body position, breathing, heart rate, and movement in real time. No cameras, wearables, or cloud processing are required. The system runs on inexpensive hardware like ESP32 nodes and gradually learns the signal patterns of its environment. By analyzing how human movement disturbs radio waves, it can detect presence and activity even through walls.

3/ Microsoft introduces Copilot Cowork to do tasks for you

Microsoft has launched Copilot Cowork, a new capability inside Microsoft 365 that turns Copilot from a chatbot into an active assistant. Instead of only answering questions, it can now carry out tasks across apps like Outlook, Teams, and Excel. You simply describe what needs to be done, and Cowork breaks the request into steps and completes them using your work data. It can reschedule meetings, prepare documents for client discussions, research companies, or help plan product launches. The system runs tasks in the background, checking in when needed while staying within Microsoft 365’s security and compliance framework.

4/ Scientists connect a digital brain to a virtual body

A startup called Eon Systems has demonstrated what may be the first digital brain controlling a body in simulation. Researchers recreated the brain of a fruit fly using detailed scan data, modeling about 125,000 neurons and 50 million connections. That digital brain was then connected to a physics-based simulation of a fly’s body. Sensory signals feed into the brain model, which sends commands that move the body. The virtual insect can walk and groom itself in ways that resemble real behavior. Scientists see this as an early step toward simulating larger brains, starting with mice and eventually more complex animals.
