An invitation for those tired of “smart” systems that feel nothing:
If you’ve ever looked at an EMG graph and seen a poem in it…
If rhythm matters to you more than results…
If you believe technology can be tender—
Then you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
We’re seeking artists, coders, and researchers of embodiment for a new residency at SOMA Labs.
We work with VVVV, Python, biosensing, local AI—and a lot of silence.

Your Apple Watch knows how far you’ve walked.
But it doesn’t know why you stopped by that tree.
We’re moving beyond metrics—
toward silence, toward micro-movements, toward what lives between steps.
Our stack:
— local LLMs (no cloud),
— biosensors without Bluetooth,
— algorithms that patiently wait for the body to speak first.
Because trust isn’t an API.
It’s presence.
#OfflineIntelligence #SOMALabs #EmbodiedFuture
The body doesn’t generate data. It speaks.
We’re just the ones who stopped listening.
Instead, we built trackers, labels, loss functions.
Yet all it would’ve taken was to simply pause—to watch how the diaphragm trembles before an exhale, or how fingers slow down when someone recalls something meaningful.
At SOMA Labs, we write code that listens—not records.
Sometimes, for twenty minutes… just for a single breath.
after the holidays, the body remembers what the calendar has already forgotten
The New Year’s lights have faded.
Talk of “fresh starts” has quieted down.
But the body still carries December’s gestures: fatigue, anticipation, the silence before a decision.
At SOMA Labs, we don’t set goals on January 1st.
We wait—until the body itself offers the first step.
Sometimes it’s a tremor in the finger hovering over a sensor.
Sometimes it’s the pause between an inhale and launching a local model.
This year, we won’t begin with a plan.
We’ll begin with attention.
Because the deepest projects aren’t born from deadlines—
they emerge from bodies that have finally listened to themselves.
Welcome to the real start.
Quiet. True.

Mistake is just a gesture the machine hasn’t understood yet.
Today, our robotic arm “made a mistake”:
instead of repeating the hand movement, it paused half a second longer than expected.
We didn’t fix it.
We recorded that pause.
Because in embodied tech, there are no bugs—
only untranslated gestures.
Sometimes the machine sees what the body has already said…
but the human hasn’t heard yet.
#SOMALabs #MachineListening #EmbodiedIntelligence #ErrorAsGesture #CreativeAI
Your AI lives in the cloud. Ours lives in the body.
Most “smart” systems today:
☁️ require internet,
☁️ send your data to remote servers,
☁️ promise personalization—but take away presence.
We went the other way.
Our latest prototype runs entirely on a single laptop:
— gesture recognition via MediaPipe,
— sound generation with Coqui TTS,
— logic powered by a fine-tuned LLM from LM Studio,
— all stitched together in TouchDesigner, with zero API calls.
Why? Because attention doesn’t scale.
It deepens.
And real connection between body and machine doesn’t start in a data center—
it starts in a room where both breathe at the same time.
#SOMALabs #OfflineIntelligence #EmbodiedAI #LocalFirst #NoCloudJustPresence
We’ve stepped away from the cloud—for good, for now.
Everyone’s chasing scale.
We’re chasing intimacy.
Our latest performance prototype runs entirely offline:
— The LLM runs locally via LM Studio,
— Biosensors feed directly into TouchDesigner,
— Even voice synthesis uses Coqui TTS—zero cloud requests.
Why? Because the BODY doesn’t “send data.”
It *trusts*.
And trust doesn’t live on Amazon servers.
We believe the future of embodied tech is decentralized, local, and quiet—
like breath.
Why is your “smart” motion tracker so dumb?
Fitbit counts steps.
Apple Watch tracks heart rate.
Meta Quest maps hand positions in VR.
They all **measure**—but none of them **feel**.
True “smart” tracking isn’t about coordinate precision.
It’s about sensing:
— how fatigue turns into grace,
— how anger tightens the shoulders,
— how joy scatters gestures across space.
At **SOMA Labs**, we’re testing a system where AI doesn’t *classify* emotions (like Affectiva or Microsoft Emotion API). Instead, it learns from **temporal patterns in bodily rhythm**—with no categories, no labels.
Because the body isn’t “happy” or “sad.”
It’s **alive**.
#SOMALabs #EmbodiedIntelligence #BeyondMetrics #HumanFirstTech
In most motion labs—like Google’s Motion Challenge or Meta’s Ego4D—the body is just a dataset.
Skeleton. Trajectories. Coordinates.
But what if we treated movement as a wordless language instead?
Where a tremor in the hand, a pause before a step, or the weight shifting onto the left heel aren’t “noise”—but meaning?
At **SOMA Labs**, we’re experimenting with AI that doesn’t learn from thousands of dance clips, but from **one body breathing slowly over time**.
Our goal isn’t to craft the “perfect gesture,” but to explore how machines can **accompany**—not imitate.
Right now, it looks like strange code, biosensors, and a lot of silence.
But the most interesting things happen **in that silence**.

Found a cool free-to-play project with earning potential—you can earn diamonds even without any investment. Buying weapons with diamonds lets you run more battles and earn more income, and you can convert diamonds directly into USDT.
The gameplay is quite fun—I only play in survival mode!

💔 DeFi News: The main announcement of the week? Coinbase is about to revolutionize launchpads—TOMORROW!
Coinbase (https://x.com/coinbase/status/1986835169425433074 ) dropped a teaser that could change the game, showing—in stark black and white—all the current pain points of token launches:
⚫️ “10% to launchpools???”
⚫️ “What’s the market cap?”
⚫️ “Too many bots”
⚫️ “Please don’t be a rug 🙏”
Their core message: “It doesn’t need to be like this.”
And the date? November 10, 2025.
