Two life updates:
1) About a year ago I decided to join the Veo team to work on capabilities. It’s been a fun ride! Excited for what’s still to come.
2) I've been busy caring for a newborn the past couple of days 🥰 Excited for the incredible world he will grow up in. Veo's impression below:

I'm excited to announce that I have no idea what day of the week it is and I'm hoping I can keep this up for the rest of the year

I gave a talk on Compositional World Models at NeurIPS last week 🌐
The recording is now online: neurips.cc/virtual/2024... (for registered attendees; starts at 6:06:00)
Workshop: compositional-learning.github.io

Hot take: 90% of what ACs/SACs do could in principle already be automated (with the remaining 10% being process oversight and borderline decision making).
At least right now, it seems like reviewers have the more important job for the most part.

No worries. I also got a reviewer invite… I can highly recommend it… I already decided for ICLR to review instead of ACing. It’s actually a nice break. And people always forget that in the end it’s reviewers who are making calls on papers, not ACs.

Waymo deserves to be the number one tourist attraction in San Francisco right now, and it's not even close
For like ~$11 you get to ride in a genuine self-driving car with up to four people!

Being totally obsessed with your work really helps with motivation and with getting things done. Exciting times.

Thrilled to announce Boltz-1, the first open-source and commercially available model to achieve AlphaFold3-level accuracy on biomolecular structure prediction! An exciting collaboration with Jeremy, Saro, and an amazing team at MIT and Genesis Therapeutics. A thread!

The world doesn’t live on a pixel grid and neither should vision models!
Excited to share Moving off-the-Grid (MooG): a video model w/o grid-based representations. MooG learns detached “off-the-grid tokens” that bind to (and track) scene elements as camera & content move.
