Robo Santa is here! 🎅🤖 We introduce REALM, a real-to-sim validated benchmark for robot manipulation. High-fidelity simulation + aligned control = real-world proxy. Stress-test your policy! 👇

📽️ Check out Visual Odometry Transformer! VoT is an end-to-end model for getting accurate metric camera poses from monocular videos.

🖼️ Most text-to-image models only really work in English.
This limits who can use them and whose imagination they reflect.
We asked: can we build a small, efficient model that understands prompts in multiple languages natively?
Wie heeft toegang tot computerkracht tbv AI? Vooral big Tech. Een paar jaar geleden was dat nog de overheid. Illustratief: Musks xAI heeft 200.000 Nvidia-chips, de gehele Nederlandse wetenschap 650. www.volkskrant.nl/tech/de-over...
