While the said hill is only a small one, it still showed the world that it was able to overcome such an obstacle and do it on real terrain, as opposed to previous demonstrations in a controlled environment. According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the latest feat from Optimus was thanks to the new technology called "neural nets" which allowed the bot to more accurately control its electric limbs for precise movements. It was also revealed that this said test was a first for Optimus and Tesla did not demonstrate this ability before the video proof was taken thanks to its neural net which can process movements from 2 to 3 milliseconds. Xbox Cloud Gaming Upgrades to Console Availability Microsoft ushered in a massive upgrade for its Xbox Cloud Gaming experiences by making it available to its proprietary consoles to access, and it is no longer exclusive to smartphones, TVs, and other devices. This means that users who can only play it via other experiences and want to enjoy gaming on the native Xbox experience may do so, provided that they are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. On the other hand, the company also introduced a new way for gamers to enjoy Xbox Cloud Gaming to the next level as the "Stream Your Own Game" feature finally arrives for all to enjoy. Through this feature, users who have bought physical or digital copies of a compatible game may now be played via the cloud, and this could help free up space or wait for a substantial time to install the game fully on platforms.
