Research shows that diffusion image generators can train somewhat faster if they learn to reconstruct embeddings from a pretrained encoder that’s built for vision tasks like classification, segmentation, and retrieval — not image generation.
Baidu debuted two models: a lightweight, open-weights, vision-language model and a giant, proprietary, multimodal model built to take on U.S. competitors.
Models that generate 3D spaces typically generate them as users move through them without generating a persistent world to be explored later. A new model produces 3D worlds that can be exported and modified.
Meta’s Segment Anything Model (SAM) image-segmentation model has evolved into an open-weights suite for generating 3D objects. SAM 3 segments images, SAM 3D turns the segments into 3D objects, and SAM 3D Body produces 3D objects of any people among the segments. You can experiment with all three.
Researchers built a model that integrates satellite imagery and other sensor readings across the entire surface of the Earth to reveal patterns of climate, land use, and other features.
DINOv2 showed that a vision transformer pretrained on unlabeled images could produce embeddings that are useful for a wide variety of tasks. Now it has been updated to improve the performance of its embeddings in segmentation and other vision tasks.
Researchers in China disguised a quadruped robot as a Tibetan antelope to help study the animals close-up.
Google’s latest smartphone sports an AI assistant that anticipates the user’s needs and presents helpful information without prompting.
An autonomous robot performed intricate surgical operations without human intervention.
The world’s biggest retailer by revenue revealed new details about its cloud- and model-agnostic AI application development platform.
An automated beehive uses computer vision and robotics to help keep bees healthy and crops pollinated.
Meta revealed new details about its latest Aria eyeglasses, which aim to give AI models a streaming, multisensory, human perspective.
AI systems designed to generate animated 3D scenes that include active human characters have been limited by a shortage of training data, such as matched 3D scenes and human motion-capture examples. Generated video clips can get the job done without motion capture.
