Talk about putting on a show. Watch the recap videos here. |
|
HuggingFace just launched the Transformers Agent, a coding language model that can generate other HuggingFace models on-the-fly for multimodal tasks. |
This is a game-changer. By using Hugging Face tools to develop new ones, you make the code accessible to others, essentially increasing its power with every use. This is a step towards enabling open-source to grow and get better indefinitely. |
Not only does this remove the barrier of entry to machine learning, but it’s a true testament to the power of open-source right now. |
|
Scale AI recently unveiled two groundbreaking platforms tailored for governments and enterprises: Scale Donovan and Scale EGP. |
Scale Donovan serves as an AI copilot for defense, streamlining decision-making processes for operators by condensing weeks of analysis into mere minutes. |
Meanwhile, Scale EGP provides a full-stack solution for enterprises and government agencies to leverage LLMs without disclosing data to third-party AI companies. |
Of note: Fox Corporation and Koch Industries already utilize Scale EGP in their operations. |
|
Synthesia Research, the research team behind the powerful text-to-talking head/video generation tool, just released HumanRF: High-Fidelity Neural Radiance Fields for Humans in Motion. |
Essentially, this technology captures a human movement from multiple angles and allows playback from unseen perspectives while compressing data and preserving high-quality details. |
The recent rapid improvements in NeRF technology will significantly improve applications like movies, video games, video calls, and even the so-called "metaverse" that everyone has been discussing these days. |
