Neat, makes me wonder if 3DGS is technically possible

Checkout our recent work, where we only need web images to learn a novel view generation model! We can navigate inside any image, without any video/multi view data or prior models!

Congrats to Adrien for this great first PhD paper!

How I ended up rendering unlimited Gaussian splats in Unreal — Magnopus In this article, Director of Technology Sam Birley documents his journey to building a lightning-fast Gaussian splat renderer for the OKO Unreal plugin. Discover how a custom instanced-rendering appro...

I had way too much fun with this. Was a bit of a journey but it turned out great in the end. Very performant now.

Wrote some words about the whole journey over here 👇

UW graduate student deported through SEA as protesters demand answers A union representing University of Washington graduate student workers says Kennedy Orwa’s student visa was rescinded without explanation.

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.

King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

PoM: A Linear-Time Replacement for Attention with the Polynomial Mixer

This paper is the result of doing a lab-wide hackathon on an idea I've had for some time. Probably the paper with the highest number of authors I've ever done.

It's a CVPR Findings 26.

Yo, I heard you like #WebGPU, so I put some #WebGPU in your #WebGPU.

Gemma 4 E4B (4-bit) completed a full repo audit by executing Bash code and tool calls locally.

Runs on just 6GB RAM.

The DUNE encoder is a ViT distilled from multiple heterogenous teachers and is incredibly powerful, even outperforming the MASt3R on localization. We use it for navigation and manipulation.

Google releases Gemma 4. ✨

Gemma 4 introduces 4 models: E2B, E4B, 26B-A4B, 31B.
The multimodal reasoning models are under Apache 2.0.

Run E2B and E4B on ~6GB RAM, and on phones.
Run 26B-A4B and 31B on ~18GB.

GGUFs: huggingface.co/collections/...
Guide: unsloth.ai/docs/models/...

The exciting part for me: "the E2B and E4B models feature native audio input for speech recognition and understanding."

Gemma 4: Byte for byte, the most capable open models Gemma 4: our most intelligent open models to date, purpose-built for advanced reasoning and agentic workflows.

Gemma 4 models are out. Released under Apache 2.0 🚀
