A few months ago we quietly open-sourced a PyTorch video decoding library called torchcodec -- small, nimble, fast, supports GPU decoding via ffmpeg.

The Hugging Face folks had some nice things to say about it as they integrated it into LeRobot.

Check it out here: github.com/pytorch/torc...

the Aria 2 glasses are pretty great for robot data collection.
they're also getting really good for general agentic use...

what are AI products that allow me to transform existing images, while preserving some selective details (that i select), like faces, areas, etc.?

the tools I've used so far only take the selection as a hint, or dont generate well around the selection?

i rabbit-holed into the Genesis Sim codebase because it went viral on X, and the website is hypey and unclear; and I didn't want to just blindly retweet.

intelligence is starting to get good, but context is still siloed for stupid reasons.
get models that do human-level computer-use already, please...!

Glean for personal/self-hosted: is there an open source / self-hosted project that integrates pulling context from gmail, docs, sheets, calendar, whatsapp, ig, imessage, etc.?

I'd like to introduce what I've been working at @hellorobot.bsky.social: Stretch AI, a set of open-source tools for language-guided autonomy, exploration, navigation, and learning from demonstration.

Very excited about this new project, DynaMem. It allows our robots to function in previously unseen environments, performing long-horizon manipulation tasks. Most importantly it *generalizes*, meaning you can try it out on a wide variety of homes and on different objects. (4x video)
