Timer-XL: A Long-Context Foundation Model for Time-Series Forecasting

Insider Brief Genesis AI unveiled a new robotics foundation model called GENE-26.5 alongside a proprietary robotic hand and data collection system designed to improve how robots learn complex physical tasks from human behavior. The system is intended to address the difficulty of collecting large amounts of usable training data for physical tasks, which the company […]

Insider Brief Defense AI startup Scout AI has raised $100 million in an oversubscribed Series A round to develop a foundation model for autonomous military operations. The round was co-led by Align Ventures and Draper Associates, with participation from Decisive Point, Booz Allen Ventures, BVVC, Neman Ventures, Evolution VC Partners, Heraclitus Capital Management, Sigmas Group, […]

The model unifies speech, environmental sound, music, and temporal reasoning into a single architecture — and outperforms every open-source model tested on general audio benchmarks, including systems more than four times its size.

Meta Reality Labs releases a new foundation model family for human-centric vision that pushes pose estimation, segmentation, and 3D geometry to new state-of-the-art levels — all from a single backbone. The post Meta AI Releases Sapiens2: A High-Resolution Human-Centric Vision Model for Pose, Segmentation, Normals, Pointmap, and Albedo appeared first on MarkTechPost.

Learn how to combine Transformer architectures with Quantum Physics using NetKet and JAX. This guide walks through building a research-grade VMC pipeline to solve the frustrated J1-J2 Heisenberg spin chain with Neural Quantum States. The post Building Transformer-Based NQS for Frustrated Spin Systems with NetKet appeared first on MarkTechPost.

The dominant recipe for building better language models has not changed much since the Chinchilla era: spend more FLOPs, add more parameters, train on more tokens. But as inference deployments consume an ever-growing share of compute and model deployments push toward the edge, researchers are increasingly asking a harder question — can you scale quality […] The post UCSD and Together AI Research Introduces Parcae: A Stable Architecture for Looped Language Models That Achieves the Quality of a Transformer Twice the Size appeared first on MarkTechPost.

Claude Mythos’s apparent superhuman hacking abilities are alarming experts as the Trump administration remains blinded by hostility In June 2024, a cyber-attack on a pathology services company caused chaos across London’s hospitals. More than 10,000 appointments were cancelled. Blood shortages followed and delays to blood tests led to a patient’s death. Lethal cyber-attacks like this are thankfully rare. But a new AI release could change that – plunging us into a terrifying new world of chaos and disruption to the digital systems that we rely on. Shakeel Hashim is the editor of Transformer, a publication about the power and politics of transformative AI Continue reading...
