Causal-rCM extends rCM from bidirectional few-step video generation to block-causal autoregressive video diffusion. The goal is to keep the streaming behavior of causal models while preserving the rCM ...

Aether AI, founded by UCSD professor Biwei Huang, closed a $20 million seed round on June 18, 2026 to build causal world models that understand cause-and-effect relationships rather than statistical ...

Google’s Gemma series continues to throw up all kinds of interesting models. The latest is Magenta RealTime 2 (MRT2), an open-weights model ...

Ars Technica: It could be catastrophic, economically speaking, when the AI bubble finally bursts. But you point out that ...

We present STream3R, a novel approach to 3D reconstruction that reformulates pointmap prediction as a decoder-only Transformer problem. Existing state-of-the-art methods for multi-view reconstruction ...

Human cumulative culture depends on our ability to innovate. While most research emphasizes how social learning spreads and preserves innovations, the cognitive processes that generate them remain ...
