My latest story for @WIRED was a fun one to report. A bot called Nexto is tearing up Rocket League, and it uses AI that was only found in top research labs a few years ago. It shows how advances in AI are spreading, and how online games will need to adapt.

Comprehensive Performance Comparison of YOLO Object Detection Models
By
–
With the number of YOLO models, it's tough to choose when working on object detection projects. But by running a thorough performance comparison, it becomes a lot easier. That’s precisely what we do in our blog post. https://t.co/92yGeRRp2m#yolov5 #yolov6 #yolov7 #gpu #ai pic.twitter.com/K7ziMpRfeJ

AI says ‘mountain’ frequently, even for ASCII smiley face art
By
–
It says “mountain” a lot though. I gave it ASCII art of a smiley face and it said “mountain” too. I suspect it has some intuition about shapes being vaguely square vs. triangular etc. but mostly I think it’s good at guessing what typical subjects are.

OpenAI Dactyl uses ADR to solve a Rubik’s Cube

2. OpenAI Dactyl project

Automatic Domain Randomization (ADR) for robotics endlessly generates progressively more difficult environments in simulation. ADR exposes the neural network to many different variants of the same problem, in this case solving a Rubik’s Cube.

OpenAI training with ADR for sim-to-real Rubik’s cube solving
By

Using ADR, OpenAI trains with exposure to complexity which prepares the network to transfer from simulation to the real world since it has to learn to quickly identify and adjust to whatever physical world it is confronted with.
