Jina AI has released Jina-VLM, a 2.4B parameter vision language model that targets multilingual visual question answering and document understanding on constrained hardware. The model couples a SigLIP2 vision encoder with a Qwen3 language backbone and uses an attention pooling connector to reduce visual tokens while preserving spatial structure. Among open 2B scale VLMs, it reaches state of the art results on multilingual benchmarks such as MMMB and Multilingual MMBench. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.04032 Architecture, overlapping tiles with attention pooling connector […]
Testing that your AI agent is performing as expected is not easy. Here are a few strategies we learned the hard way. The post How We Are Testing Our Agents in Dev appeared first on Towards Data Science.
OpenAI shipped Sora for Android in 28 days using Codex. AI-assisted planning, translation, and parallel coding workflows helped a nimble team deliver rapid, reliable development.
Say a person takes their French Bulldog, Bowser, to the dog park. Identifying Bowser as he plays among the other canines is easy for the dog-owner to do while onsite. But if someone wants to use a generative AI model like GPT-5 to monitor their pet while they are at work, the model could fail at this basic task. Vision-language models like GPT-5 often excel at recognizing general objects, like a dog, but they perform poorly at locating […]
3D printing has come a long way since its invention in 1983 by Chuck Hull, who pioneered stereolithography, a technique that solidifies liquid resin into solid objects using ultraviolet lasers. Over the decades, 3D printers have evolved from experimental curiosities into tools capable of producing everything from custom prosthetics to complex food designs, architectural models, and even functioning human organs. But as the technology matures, its environmental footprint has become increasingly difficult to set aside. The vast majority […]
In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through tight spaces larger robots can’t reach, while simultaneously dodging stationary obstacles and pieces of falling rubble. So far, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along smooth trajectories, far from the swift, agile flight of real insects — until now. MIT researchers have demonstrated […]
Google Labs is testing a product that will work with your browser tabs to make web apps for you.
As AI models grow in complexity and hardware evolves to meet the demand, the software layer connecting the two must also adapt. We recently sat down with Stephen Jones, a Distinguished Engineer at NVIDIA and one of the original architects of CUDA. Jones, whose background spans from fluid mechanics to aerospace engineering, offered deep insights into NVIDIA’s latest software innovations, including the shift toward tile-based programming, the introduction of “Green Contexts,” and how AI is rewriting the rules […]
This article discusses five cutting-edge AutoML techniques and trends that are expected to shape the landscape of highly automated machine learning model building in the 2026 year about to start.
