Cartesian – AI 3D Modeling for Design
Formas launches Cartesian, an AI 3D modeling tool for architecture and product design with natural-language editing and CAD exports.
Cartesian by Formas is an AI-powered 3D modeling tool aimed at architecture and product design that converts photos, rough plans, sketches, and scans into precise geometry. Users can edit models conversationally while explicitly preserved elements stay unchanged. It creates real solids and NURBS geometry and exports to AutoCAD DWG, Rhino 3DM, and SketchUp SKP, with BIM IFC support planned, removing the need for a separate desktop CAD license.

Kaininja: Extending Native 3D Generators to the Part Level
KaiNinja extends TRELLIS.2 native 3D generation to part-level assets via a dual-volume O-Voxel representation, cutting whole-object Chamfer distance by 40%.
KaiNinja extends the TRELLIS.2 native 3D generator to produce part-level assets instead of one fused mesh, enabling downstream editing, rigging, and simulation. A dual-volume form of the O-Voxel representation solves the problem that a single volume cannot represent interfaces where two parts touch. The model needs no segmentation network, is partly trained on LLM-agent-authored part data, lowers whole-object Chamfer distance by 40%, and raises strict part F-score by 16% versus other part-generation pipelines.

Doctor Doom Thanked Seattle for All the Surveillance Cameras
Activist dressed as Doctor Doom urged Seattle's council to curb Axon and Flock surveillance after a committee voted to redirect $250,000 from CCTV expansion.
Clifford Cawthon, a policy advisor at the Washington State Department of Commerce, appeared at a Seattle Public Safety Committee meeting in costume as Doctor Doom to protest the city's expanding mass surveillance. He criticized Seattle PD's access to 62 cameras feeding an Axon real-time crime center that ingests CCTV, body camera, geolocation, ALPR, and dispatch data from vendors like Axon and Flock. His group Community Not Cameras submitted a petition with five demands, and a committee already voted to move $250,000 away from CCTV expansion pending full council approval.
