Do Labels Make AI Blind? Self-Supervision Solves the Age-Old Binding Problem
A new NeurIPS 2025 paper shows how self-supervised learning imbues ViT with better image understanding than supervised learning The post Do Labels Make AI Blind? Self-Supervision Solves the Age-Old Binding Problem appeared first on Towards Data Science.
Robots that spare warehouse workers the heavy lifting
There are some jobs human bodies just weren’t meant to do. Unloading trucks and shipping containers is a repetitive, grueling task — and a big reason warehouse injury rates are more than twice the national average. The Pickle Robot Company wants its machines to do the heavy lifting. The company’s one-armed robots autonomously unload trailers, picking up boxes weighing up to 50 pounds and placing them onto onboard conveyor belts for warehouses of all types. The company name, […]
It’s the Humidity: How International Researchers in Poland, Deep Learning and NVIDIA GPUs Could Change the Forecast
For more than a century, meteorologists have chased storms with chalkboards, equations, and now, supercomputers. But for all the progress, they still stumble over one deceptively simple ingredient: water vapor. Humidity is the invisible fuel for thunderstorms, flash floods, and hurricanes. It’s the difference between a passing sprinkle and a summer downpour that sends you sprinting for cover. And until now, satellites have struggled to capture it with the detail needed to warn us before skies crack open. […]
Microsoft AI Releases VibeVoice-Realtime: A Lightweight Real‑Time Text-to-Speech Model Supporting Streaming Text Input and Robust Long-Form Speech Generation
Microsoft has released VibeVoice-Realtime-0.5B, a real time text to speech model that works with streaming text input and long form speech output, aimed at agent style applications and live data narration. The model can start producing audible speech in about 300 ms, which is critical when a language model is still generating the rest of its answer. Where VibeVoice Realtime Fits in the VibeVoice Stack? VibeVoice is a broader framework that focuses on next token diffusion over continuous […]
NVIDIA to reportedly increase production of H200 AI chip, as U.S. eases China export ban
Key Highlights: The past year has been anything but quiet for the global chip industry. While trade policy under the Trump administration has been a major talking point for months, a latest decision this week has suddenly pushed NVIDIA back into the spotlight. After prolonged uncertainty around AI chip exports, the U.S. government has finally become lenient. NVIDIA is reassessing H200 AI chip production capacity after getting green signal from Trump administration According to an exclusive report by […]
New AI agent learns to use CAD to create 3D objects from sketches
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today’s physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending a final version to a production line. But the software is notoriously complicated to learn, with thousands of commands to choose from. To be truly proficient in the software takes a huge amount of time and practice. MIT engineers are looking to ease CAD’s learning […]

Colleen Hroncich When Katie Kilgore took a job at a microschool that prioritizes self-directed learning, she had no idea where it would lead her. Her career had taken her through real estate, owning a women’s clothing store, paralegal work, and, eventually, seven years in private school administration. But the microschool opened her eyes to what education could look like. When she saw her child struggling with anxiety and stress in fourth and fifth grade, she had an epiphany. […]
