A team of researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Adobe Research has unveiled a groundbreaking hybrid AI model that dramatically accelerates video generation while preserving visual fidelity. The model, dubbed CausVid, merges two powerful AI approaches—diffusion models and autoregressive systems—to create smooth, high-resolution videos from text prompts in just seconds. […]
New constellation to spot fires as small as 5×5 meters and revolutionize emergency response with 20-minute updates. When wildfires threatened Juliet Rothenberg’s California neighborhood four years ago, all she and her family could do was wait. Satellite images—updated only twice a day—offered no real answers. The skies were red with smoke, and information was scarce. […]
A team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has introduced a new artificial intelligence model inspired by neural dynamics in the brain, aiming to revolutionize how machine learning systems process complex, long-range data. The model—called LinOSS (Linear Oscillatory State-Space Model)—was developed by researchers T. Konstantin Rusch and CSAIL Director Daniela Rus. By […]
New eco-driving benchmark uses urban traffic data to evaluate the generalizability of deep reinforcement learning algorithms. From the constant halts at red lights to the unpredictable merging of cars and trucks, city traffic is a messy, emissions-heavy affair. One proposed fix—eco-driving—relies on subtle changes in driving behavior to minimize fuel consumption. While this technique holds […]
Lisbon-based autonomous systems firm secures $1.3B valuation, launches UK-based OVERMATCH programme to reshape Europe’s defence innovation. AI-powered defence tech firm TEKEVER has achieved unicorn status following a major funding round that brings its valuation to $1.3 billion (over £1 billion). The milestone cements the Lisbon-based company’s role at the forefront of Europe’s growing autonomous military […]
