May 2026 inflation slows down to 6.8 percent
Headline inflation in the Philippines eased to 6.8 percent in May 2026, down from 7.2 percent in April, performing better than the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) forecast range of 7.1 to 7.9 percent. The moderation was largely attributed to lower global oil prices, the suspension of excise taxes on LPG and kerosene, and improved supply conditions for food. Despite this, core inflation rose to 4.1 percent, and the year-to-date average of 4.5 percent remains significantly above the BSP's 3 percent target.

- Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy items, rose to 4.1 percent from 3.9 percent in April, signaling persistent underlying price pressures.
- Supply-side factors, including a dry season rice harvest and improved meat supply, were critical drivers in tempering food price increases.
- The BSP reaffirmed its commitment to its 3 percent inflation target, indicating that further policy actions may be necessary to ensure price stability.

1X World Model | From Video to Action: A New Way Robots Learn
1x-research has unveiled 1XWM, a world model-based policy for its humanoid robot, NEO, that derives actions from text-conditioned video generation rather than traditional vision-language-action (VLA) models. By leveraging internet-scale video data, the model generalizes to novel tasks and objects without requiring extensive robot-specific teleoperation data. The system employs a two-stage grounding process, using a diffusion-based world model to predict scene evolution and an inverse dynamics model to extract executable actuator trajectories.
engineering-technology1X Researchtexthigh2026-01-12 - 10 claims - 1 streams
Key Insights
- 1XWM shifts robot learning from costly teleoperated data to scalable video pretraining, allowing robots to inherit structural priors of reality from human-centric video.
- The system utilizes a two-stage architecture: a 14B parameter generative video model (WM) for scene prediction and an inverse dynamics model (IDM) to bridge pixels to robot actuators.
- Performance on novel tasks is significantly enhanced by caption upsampling and mid-training on 900 hours of egocentric human video, which aligns the model with first-person manipulation.
- Test-time compute strategies, such as parallel generation and selection of the highest-quality rollout, demonstrate a measurable increase in task success rates.
