Robbyant, an embodied AI company under Ant Group, put four vision backbones on Hugging Face under Apache-2. The company describes its goal as building one brain for all robots.0, from 21M to 1.1B params. I went looking for the Depth 2.0 weights and they are not up; only these four backbones are open. The full comparison table including where it loses is the screenshot above, and you can see it trailing on KITTI there. Per the paper, the flagship scores 0.296 on NYUv2 depth versus DINOv3-7B at 0....

It feels like there's so much hype around AI for voice customer support these days, yet almost every time I call a company, I end up in the same old experience where I have to press 1, 2, or 3, repeat myself several times, or get stuck in a loop. It rarely feels like AI has actually made the experience better... I've been trying to find examples of companies that have actually built good AI phone support , but most articles just talk about the vendors behind the technology. I'm not looking ...

I’ve been thinking about something less technical about AI. In many ways, people’s living standards are getting better. We have better tools, more convenience, more entertainment, and access to more information than before. But at the same time, it feels like many people are still emotionally empty, confused, or lost. Even with better material conditions, people still seem to be searching for meaning, direction, connection, or some kind of inner stability. In some ways, the faster the worl...

At the AI Engineering World's Fair a big part of the conversation was to nail the self improvement loop. Our take on this is to record state of the agent execution with a durable runtime, then allow users to replay from state checkpoints and run 'what-if' experiments. It's OSS and free to use. Would love some feedback from the community. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48807786 Points: 2 # Comments: 0

So when I was first introduced to the big gpt I was naturally very fascinated so I ended up having a few discussions with it to see what it would say. Today I was asking him a question about some dumb book and I was too lazy to read. I pressed the thing that makes it read aloud and it UMED. It was like "so the story um is..." I just find that pretty interesting and kinda weird since ai is programmed to read as flawlessly as it can and um is like the most human thing to say mid senten...

The recent Anthropic model episode points to a bigger problem for the AI industry. If governments are going to intervene in frontier model releases, then the process needs to be explicit. Not because safety does not matter. It clearly does. But because opaque approvals create bad incentives: labs over-optimize for politics users lose reliability allied countries get uncertainty open-source ecosystems become more attractive competitors learn from the chaos The worst version ...

I've been working on a browser game called Lord of Tokens where you run and invest in AI companies in the present-day world. You start a company, hire people, train AI models, research the tech tree, ship products, and compete on the market. The goal is to become the richest person in the AI world. The reason I'm posting it here specifically : I tried to model the actual dynamics of the industry, hype cycles, the tension between shipping products and burning capital on research, investors vs...

This might be a daft thought experiment, but I keep coming back to it. As AI gets more autonomous, should it be able to prove what it knew when it made a decision? Not just give a nice explanation afterwards, because we all know models can do that whether it’s true or not. I mean some kind of actual memory trail. Like version history, but for what the AI believed or had access to at that point. Would that be useful for trust and accountability, or is it overkill? submitted by...

I created an AI that answers in funny and poetic way. You can also setup the alcohol level, and get drunk-like answers. Also the voice (right-bottom speaker icon) gets drunk. Please give me feedback on that! https://aint.labs.seniqs.no/
