AI needs to benefit everyone, not just those who build it. But fulfilling this promise requires careful thought before new technologies are built and released into the world. In this episode, Hannah delves into some of the most pressing and difficult ethical and social questions surrounding AI today. She explores complex issues like racial and gender bias and the misuse of AI technologies, and hears why diversity and representation is vital for building technology that works for all. For questions or feedback on the series, message us on Twitter @GoogleDeepMind or email podcast@deepmind.com. Interviewees: DeepMind’s Lisa Anne Hendricks, Sasha Brown,…
Say hello to OpenAI o1—a new series of AI models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond. This new series of AI models can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math. More here: www.openai.com/o1 source
Lvmin Zhang at GitHub, in collaboration with Maneesh Agrawala at Stanford University, has introduced FramePack this week. FramePack offers a practical implementation of video diffusion using fixed-length temporal context for more efficient processing, enabling longer and higher-quality videos. A 13-billion parameter model built using the FramePack architecture can generate a 60-second clip with just 6GB of video memory.FramePack is a neural network architecture that uses multi-stage optimization techniques to enable local AI video generation. At the time of writing, the FramePack GUI is said to run a custom Hunyuan-based model under the hood, though the research paper mentions that existing…
Determining how best to incorporate AI in your reporting can be daunting. For journalists and small newsrooms navigating tight deadlines and limited resources, harnessing AI tools to carry out time consuming tasks can be pivotal. For students developing a foundational skill set for future reporting careers, the technology can’t be ignored. Think of AI tools similarly to how you do common applications like Microsoft Excel or Adobe Photoshop: AI can help free up time, which you can in turn dedicate to more in-depth reporting, and more creative writing, visuals and marketing, among other perks. However, a 2024 survey by the…
Guy Ullens, a Belgian billionaire who built up one of the most important collections of Chinese contemporary art in the world, has died at 90. The news was announced on social media by the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, which Ullens had cofounded. The museum did not provide a cause. “As one of the earliest international collectors to champion Chinese artists, Ullens helped bring global recognition to Chinese artists and their work,” the UCCA said on Instagram. “His dedicated efforts also shaped the foundation for UCCA’s growth into the institution we are today, in China and globally. ……

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced it will incur $5.5 billion in charges after the U.S. government indefinitely restricted exports of its H20 AI chip to China, a critical market for its data center products. The H20 chip, tailored to comply with U.S. export limits, has been Nvidia’s most advanced model available in China and a key component in partnerships with tech giants like Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance. The restrictions stem from concerns that H20 chips, despite reduced AI training capabilities, offer high-speed memory and chip connectivity—features potentially usable in supercomputers. The U.S. has banned chips linked to Chinese supercomputing efforts since 2022.…
Vision-language models are integral to computer vision research, yet many high-performing models remain closed-source, obscuring their data, design and training recipe. The research community has responded by using distillation from black-box models to label training data, achieving strong benchmark results, at the cost of measurable scientific progress. However, without knowing the details of the teacher model and its data sources, scientific progress remains difficult to measure. In this paper, we study building a Perception Language Model (PLM) in a fully open and reproducible framework for transparent research in image and video understanding. We analyze standard training pipelines without distillation from…
