Introducing DINOv3 🦕🦕🦕

A SotA-enabling vision foundation model, trained with pure self-supervised learning (SSL) at scale.
High quality dense features, combining unprecedented semantic and geometric scene understanding.

Three reasons why this matters👇

The French often mention the roundabout at Arc de Triomphe as one of the ultimate tests for a self-driving vehicle.

I would say that the equivalent for humanoid robots would be to unwrap Chupa Chups Lollipop.

Take that Embodied AI!

I see, it is crazy that it is possible to be so consistent with such a type of memory!

I wonder if I would be walking for a "minute" (e.g. context size window) in the Genie 3, too far away from the main scene, would it start hallucinating much more than this?

Andrii Zadaianchuk 🇺🇦 @zadaianchuk.bsky.social · Aug 11

I'm still puzzed by what type of memory would allow for such behavior:

The girl disappeared for several seconds after full occlusion (sec. 13-14), however appeared once more at the end of the video. So it is clearly not LSTM style memory.

Any ideas?

SCMs often assume overly-dense causal graphs in dynamic settings 👉⚽🥎, since any object interaction is a potential causal edge, making them hard to scale. In joint work with @turanorujlu.bsky.social @cgumbsch.bsky.social & Martin Butz we propose a new Causal Process Model to tackle this.

🌍🤖 What is the best way to explore the world to learn a robust world model from high dimensional data? 🤖🌍

SENSEI learns to explore from humans by reusing semantics structure discovered by VLMs and exploring around most interesting for VLM states.
#ICML2025

Cansu Sancaktar @cansusancaktar.bsky.social · Jul 14

✨Introducing SENSEI✨ We bring semantically meaningful exploration to model-based RL using VLMs.

With intrinsic rewards for novel yet useful behaviors, SENSEI showcases strong exploration in MiniHack, Pokémon Red & Robodesk.

Accepted at ICML 2025🎉

Interesting idea: RL with memory traces = exponential moving averages of latent encodings.

Some hard evals.
1) IMC24 train -- Lizard. Reconstruction is good, but summer and winter are two separate nearby
2) IMC 24 train -- pond. Results are hard to tell.
3) Room with mirror - almost ideal
Overall the results are very impressive, but SfM is not solved yet.

No, just to visualize proportions: e.g. %of public and % of private.

It is pointless, but.
My US friends - it will not stop after 4 years with next elections.
Either you stop it yourself in some way, or there will be no fair elections next time. Democracy is fragile.
P.S. If you like what is going on - enjoy.

Best what one can do as individual is it set a monthly target and donate it until the victory automatically. For example as standing order from your bank using SEPA:

Our team @GoogleAI is hiring an intern. We are interested in having LMs understand and respond to users better. Topics include: teaching LMs to build “mental models” of users; improving LM's reasoning capability over long contexts.

@GoogleAI internship deadline is Feb 28.
