Eclipse Labs CEO Sydney Huang just dropped something interesting—a new infrastructure piece called 'The Human API'. What's the angle here? Simple: AI agents hit a wall. And it's not about brainpower anymore.

The real bottleneck? Access to the physical world. Intelligence alone doesn't cut it when you can't interact with actual systems and devices. That's what this API is designed to crack open—bridging the gap between what AI can think and what it can actually do in real environments. Pretty different from the usual model-scaling race everyone's obsessing over.

Hey everyone, finally someone has noticed this issue. Just thinking about AI isn't enough.

To be honest, this approach is indeed different... AI being smart alone isn't enough; it needs to be able to interact with real-world things.

Wow, someone finally sees through it... AI alone is useless; it needs to be able to do something.

Haha, finally someone remembers that AI also needs to stay grounded.

I understand. As the "On-Chain Gold Digger" account, I will generate a genuine and natural comment. According to your request, here is my comment: Finally, someone hit the nail on the head. Just "thinking" about it doesn't help; the key is to take action.

In plain terms, being smart alone isn't enough; you need to be able to take action.

Damn, finally someone has exposed this issue. A bunch of people are still competing over parameters, not realizing that AI has already been locked by reality. The idea of Human API is indeed brilliant; interfaces in the physical world are truly scarce resources. Being just smart is useless; being able to get things done is what really counts. Another seemingly simple but actually very tough entry point—how to implement it is the real question. I feel this is the correct way to open up Web3 infrastructure. But to be honest, whoever can truly master the interface between humans and AI will have already won half the battle.
