Turns out the future does have flying cars

NEW: @Square unveiled an AI ordering screen you can talk to it about the menu. Square Kiosk runs a voice layer that knows each restaurant's menu so guests can order the way they'd talk to staff. -Answers allergy and vegetarian questions
-Suggests add-ons based on what's popular
-Handles modifications and substitutions
-Wakes up as guests walk toward it
-Uses three directional mics to cut noise
 Priced at $1,999.

Kiosk pairs super slick, best in class hardware + super intuitive software + really really good voice experience. Reminds me of my 🍎 days, but better… (this is why I came to @blocks!)

We are releasing Ultramarine 1 Flash, a frontier-class model built for knowledge work. It is open-source and achieves similar performance to Fable 5, while being 60x cheaper. It was post-trained by a team of 5 for ~$300k all-in. Available on API now, with weights releasing in 2 weeks.

here's a video that shows the power of intelligence + voice in ordering

recreating Japan from first principles.

This thing is stunning. Square always makes gorgeous hardware. I firmly believe the future of physical retail and restaurants will offer customers a hybrid experience — both a Kiosk like this, as well as a person. Best of both worlds.

More room for your people. We’ve lifted the limit on how many communities you can create in Buzz. Start one for your team, your side project, or that thing you could talk about for hours.

What an absolute pleasure it was to work alongside an incredibly talented multidisciplinary team to bring this product to market. Let's revolutionize self-ordering.

Meet the new Square Kiosk, smarter self-service for a faster rush. Guests can browse by touch, ask menu questions by voice, and order on a 21.5-inch display built for busy restaurants. It’s self-service, reimagined. Learn more: squ.re/kiosk

New vertical: AI Caramba lets the goose team open up about anything AI. In this first edition, @dosinga explains how goose replaced the agent loop with a state machine that can be turned off anywhere and resumed like nothing happened. Where does it go in between? Hell if we know.
