Einstein Probe X-ray transient EP260812b triggered a five-network robotic response within 9 minutes on August 12, 2026. GOTO's machine-learning pipeline and SVOM's dual-platform architecture tracked the source before it faded below detection in under 19 hours, demonstrating the automated infrastructure time-domain astronomy will need for the Rubin LSST era.
