We're releasing dense Argus-format annotations for >5,000 hours (290k episodes) of public robot data (ABC-130k, MolmoAct2 YAM, DROID, GM-100, ABC-Sim), labeled with GPT 6.1 Sol.

Per-hand subgoals and actions, plus outcomes, mistakes, recoveries and object-state changes 👇🧵

This project started with a literature search on "growing" work in modern vision pipelines, and I was surprised that there was not much, although there have been more recent works in language. Since I started my PhD by working on vision (object-centric?!) I was interested.
Excited to share “Growing to See”: growing SSL vision models provide better representations with up to 25% fewer FLOPs!

Co-led with @KaplFer.

With @Google’s Paradigms of Intelligence team (@kaitlinmaile & @oswaldjoh), @andrea_dittadi, Karl H. Johansson & @stefanAbauer.

One-step generation is advancing fast: from flow maps to drifting models.

But how do we train a one-step sampler without target samples? 🤔

Introducing OSIS: “Amortised Inference through One-Step Implicit Sampling”.

Work co-led with @ktamogashev, as part of an ran Carter, @shchoi55, @stefanAbauer and Esmeralda S. Whitammer! 🙌

🆕 Very happy to share:

“One for All, All for One: Coordinated Multi-Agent Diffusion Steering via Stochastic Optimal Control”

Work co-led with top-notch collaborators @BarbanoRiccardo and Runchang Li 🤝

We show how to teach pretrained diffusion models to work together: , human motion, navigation and image components.

With frozen pretrained weights! ❄️

📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2610.08595

Grateful to an incredible team: George Webber, Alexander Denker, Željko Kereta, @stefanAbauer, Francisco Vargas and Esmeralda S. Whitammer. 🙌

@fvderop Incredible spin. Takes real talent to take a rigorous & reasonable study (that should have been done before they built their big foundation models) & twist it to further their virtual cell nonsense propaganda.

Best possible model quality under fixed training compute, memory, and enable test time scaling under varying recurrence ?

We systematically study how model size, data, sparsity, and recurrent depth interact.

Loop Scaling Laws predict the frontier: how much effective capacity aturates, and how MoE sparsity raises that ceiling.

Work by @yanbei_c (follow her!)

Frontier models like GPT-6 are reportedly using looping. But here're the million-dollar questions on scaling: 🤔 Can adding more loops deliver gains indefinitely? And what happens when looping meets Mixture-of-Experts?

Check out our latest Loop Scaling Laws answering these! 👇

Thanks to the great feedback we received, we’ve made a few updates to the Foundations of Diffusion manuscript.

Summer isn’t quite over yet, still time to dive into diffusion! 😎🌴

arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2512.05092
🚨 Looking for a fully self-contained intro to diffusion models that covers both continuous (images) and discrete (text, sequences) data?

🆕 We just released:
“Foundations of Diffusion Models in General State Spaces: A Self-Contained Introduction”

arxiv : arxiv.org/abs/2512.05092

S/o to @andrea_dittadi for his amazing support & guidance, and huge thanks to @TobiasHppe1, @k_neklyudov, @AlexanderTong7 and @stefanAbauer for their supervision! 🙌

One roadmap for all of diffusion. 🏎️💨

After a few failed posts, broken previews, and getting briefly flagged by X… the full thread's finally out 🤯🧵👇

reminder that "physically accurate" video model claims are only as good as the benchmark measuring them! 👩‍🔬

new Physics-IQ audit found >1/3 of prompts were ambiguous and ~30% of videos had artifacts inflating scores. after cleanup, model rankings changed meaningfully (τ=0.46)

vibes ≠ physics

Evaluations are the secret sauce of frontier labs and Anates is launching its first project in a collaboration with Deepmind. If you work on video models and or embodied intelligence check out their work! Congrats Tim and Carsten!

The focus on UMAPs as the output of scRNAseq has debased a whole field.

This fig from arxiv.org/abs/2603.02402 is ridiculous.. showing a faster GPU accelerated workflow.. that produces a completely different UMAP. But since nobody cares what's on the UMAP anyway.. who cares?

ACM has posted an "Expression of Concern" on Igor Markov's article. This stinks to heaven. Apparently, Google did not like the paper. Google is a major donor to ACM. There are also rumors of a legal action by Google against ACM.

Excited to launch Principia, a nonprofit research organisation at the intersection of deep learning theory and AI safety.

Our goal is to develop theory for modern machine learning that can help us understand network behaviors, including those critical for AI safety.
