Inside Anduril and Meta's Quest to Make Smart Glasses for Warfare

Anduril and Meta are co-developing an augmented-reality headset for military use, with new details revealing capabilities such as ordering drone strikes via eye-tracking and voice commands. The project is led by Quay Barnett, a former Army Special Operations Command officer now serving as VP at Anduril. The collaboration represents a significant convergence of consumer AR hardware expertise (Meta) with defense-tech integration (Anduril) for battlefield applications.

VLMs May Not Globally Enhance Human Alignment over LLMs During Natural Reading

This paper compares matched LLM and VLM pairs in a text-only setting to isolate the effect of multimodal training history on human-like language processing. Using whole-cortex fMRI and eye-tracking data from natural reading, the authors find that multimodal pretraining does not confer a uniform global advantage in human alignment. However, VLMs show selective advantages when sentences contain stronger visual semantic content, with converging evidence from both neural and behavioral measures. The findings suggest language-internal representations remain the primary driver of human text processing alignment.
