cleanrl is amazing (github.com/vwxyzjn/clea...) and its structure makes sense for teaching but an actual research codebase should not inherit this style! you do not want this amount of code duplication

🚨 New preprint!
How far can we go with ImageNet for Text-to-Image generation? w. @arrijitghosh.bsky.social @lucasdegeorge.bsky.social @nicolasdufour.bsky.social @vickykalogeiton.bsky.social
TL;DR: Train a text-to-image model using 1000 less data in 200 GPU hrs!

MASt3R-SLAM code release!

Try it out on videos or with a live camera

Introducing MASt3R-SLAM, the first real-time monocular dense SLAM with MASt3R as a foundation.

Easy to use like DUSt3R/MASt3R, from an uncalibrated RGB video it recovers accurate, globally consistent poses & a dense map.

Such a refreshing talk by Michael Jordan at the AI Action Summit outlining a collectivist vision for AI.
He brings economics into discussion and the concept of collective intelligence to augment the human one in an inclusive, equitable, sustainable way. www.youtube.com/live/W0QLq4q...

On the Karpathy-Schmidhuber discussion: here is a slide I sometimes present on the history and origins of attention, which is shared between ML, image-processing (work of Jean-Michel Morel), NLP and computer vision.

For my first post on Bluesky, this recent talk I did at the recent BMVA one day meeting on World Models is a good summary of my work on Computer Vision, Robotics and SLAM, and my thoughts on a bigger picture of #SpatialAI.

📢 Relive the #CVPR2024 poster ScaLR w/ Gilles Puy. It's a Lidar pretrained model distilled from vision foundation models w/o any labels.
💪 Our best ScaLR is publicly available & well suited for semantic tasks w/ few or no labels & still SoTA results on linear probing

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.

I blogged about it here:
