Leveraging visual priors from pre-trained text-to-image (T2I) generative models has shown success in dense prediction. However, dense prediction is inherently an image-to-image task, suggesting that image editing models, rather than T2I generative models, may be a more suitable foundation for fine-tuning. Motivated by this, we conduct a systematic analysis of the fine-tuning behaviors of both editors and generators for dense geometry estimation. Our findings show that editing models possess inherent structural priors, which enable them to converge more stably by “refining” their innate features, and ultimately achieve higher performance than their generative counterparts. Based on these findings, we introduce \textbf{FE2E},…

Things had a way of just happening in the small, tight-knit New York art world of the 1960s and ’70s. Artists introduced other artists to dealers, who in turn introduced them to more artists. Tony Shafrazi arrived in New York in the late sixties, a transplant from Iran by way of London. Within 24 hours, he had met Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Through Richard Serra, he was introduced to Zadik Zadikian, a sculptor from Yerevan, Soviet Armenia, obsessed with plaster and gold leaf. Zadikian became the first artist Shafrazi ever exhibited.“I didn’t even know he was Armenian then,” Zadikian…

In a groundbreaking announcement, Meta has today officially launched Code Llama, a state-of-the-art large language model (LLM) that is set to revolutionize the coding landscape. This innovative tool is designed to generate and discuss code using text prompts, making it a game-changer for developers and coding learners alike. Code Llama is not just another coding tool; it is a productivity and educational instrument that aims to make workflows more efficient for developers. It lowers the barrier to entry for coding learners, enabling them to write more robust, well-documented software. This tool is a testament to Meta’s commitment to fostering a…

From the workplace to classrooms to personal use, AI is being woven into how society works and communicates. Among the most widely used tools is ChatGPT.Recently, the chatbot’s creator, OpenAI, came under fire after a 16-year-old California teen took his own life, according to the BBC.As adoption grows, so do the questions around how to protect users and ensure responsible engagement with the technology.Why AI Safety MattersAs AI becomes more integrated into education, workplaces and personal life, the stakes of safety grow higher.Forbes reports that concerns about the technology range from bias and data privacy to misinformation. According to the…

In a sign of the times (and where things are going), visiting google.com/ai now opens Google Search AI Mode. Previously, google.com/aimode was the shortcut to the latest Google Search experience on desktop and mobile web. It has now been shortened for a slightly more memorable, if not obvious, URL. This joins the desktop Chrome New Tab Page shortcut inside the “Search Google or type a URL” field, and in the Omnibox depending on your query. (The former, introduced in July, has become my go-to way to access AI Mode. Personally, the shortcut I use the least is the filter in…

Around half a million writers will be eligible for a payday of at least $3,000, thanks to a historic $1.5 billion settlement in a class action lawsuit that a group of authors brought against Anthropic. This landmark settlement marks the largest payout in the history of U.S. copyright law, but this isn’t a victory for authors — it’s yet another win for tech companies. Tech giants are racing to amass as much written material as possible to train their LLMs, which power groundbreaking AI chat products like ChatGPT and Claude — the same products that are endangering the creative industries,…

ChatGPT-5, “Draw Sam Altman with three arms, sweeping the word scaling under a rug”A brief update:Some battles no longer need fighting. The notion on which this Substack was founded in May 2022 — that LLM scaling would not bring us to AGI — has gone mainstream. Even Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp, has apparently gone full Gary Marcus:Perhaps I also no longer need to warn people that the idea that coding would disappear soon is bullshit. Anyone remember this prediction from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei back in March? Some journalists I could name seem to take it seriously at the time. (I…

Summary Google has begun the rollout of Writing Tools, an AI-powered feature found within the company’s GBoard software keyboard. Writing Tools uses generative AI to spell check and rephrase written text, doing so entirely offline using the Gemini Nano v2 model or higher. You can access Writing Tools from within Gboard’s quick access strip located at the top of the virtual keyboard. After first launching Writing Tools alongside its new Pixel 10 series of smartphones, Google is now expanding the rollout of the feature across a broader range of Android devices. Writing Tools — which is baked into Google’s first-party…
