🔥Veo 3 has emergent zero-shot learning and reasoning capabilities!

This multitalented model can do a huge range of interesting tasks.

It understands physical properties, can manipulate objects, and can even reason.

The recording of my #NeurIPS2024 workshop talk on multimodal iterative refinement is now available to everyone who registered: neurips.cc/virtual/2024...

My talk starts at 1:10:45 into the recording.

I believe this will be made publicly available eventually, but I'm not sure when exactly!

I've been getting a lot of questions about autoregression vs diffusion at #NeurIPS2024 this week! I'm speaking at the adaptive foundation models workshop at 9AM tomorrow (West Hall A), about what happens when we combine modalities and modelling paradigms.

Introducing the @tmlr-pub.bsky.social account, that is now posting the latest TMLR published papers! Check it out!

Looking forward to it! 🚀
I'll be at NeurIPS in Vancouver✈️, where I'm speaking at the Adaptive Foundation Models workshop on Saturday, and I'm sure a diffusion circle will coalesce at some point during the week!

Also heading to SF the week before (next week!), let me know if anything cool is happening👀
