    This is what people in the field call it. I'm sorry you're offended.

    The 'point' skill is trained on a ton of UI data; we've heard of a lot of people using it in combination with a bigger driver model for UI automation. We are also planning on post-…

    Thanks! If you could shoot me a note at vik@m87.ai with any examples of the precision/recall issues you saw I'd appreciate it a ton.

    The training technique used here (fitting something similar to a NeRF to different views of the same image) is pretty similar to this paper which uses a similar technique to denois…

    I've been working on training this small vision language model for the last month - excited to release the first prototype today! It is based on SigLIP (image encoder), Phi-1.5 (te…

    I'm confused - you posted in the "who wants to be hired" thread, and then got an email from this company asking if you'd be interested?

    As someone that's used to live in Canada and is currently in the USA, this is not true. Six month wait time to get an x-ray for a hairline fracture, people dying because of long wa…
