It improves every week or so. It is a DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT experience today than it was 12 months ago. And this year was the first time it drove around without a human in the car.

LLaDA2.0: Converting Auto-Regressive Models to Discrete Diffusion
By
–
LLaDA2.0, a new method that converts existing auto-regressive models into discrete diffusion models using a novel 3-phase training scheme. This approach preserves the model's learned knowledge while unlocking parallel decoding. The resulting models, LLaDA2.0-mini (16B) and

Causal prediction alone enables strong visual learning
By
–
A new mind-blowing finding:
causal prediction alone is sufficient for strong visual learning, no need for any fancy reconstruction, masking, or contrastive loss In this paper NEPA, instead of reconstructing pixels, they train a vision model to autoregressively predict the next -

Physical Atari RL Framework: Simulation Transfer Challenges
By
–
Some interesting experiments with our “physical Atari” RL framework — one of our main points was that the flawless simulators didn’t transfer well at all to the messy reality of cameras and servos, but perhaps less obviously, even transferring from one robotroller to a second,
