WAN2.5-Preview: They are collecting feedback to fine-tune this PREVIEW. The full release will have open training + inference code. The weights MAY be released, but not decided yet. WAN2.5 demands SIGNIFICANTLY more VRAM due to being 1080p and 10 seconds. Final system requirements unknown! (@50:57)

This post summarizes a very important livestream with a WAN engineer. It will at least be partially open (model architecture, training code and inference code). Maybe even fully open weights if the community treats them with respect and gratitude, which is also what one of their engineers basically spelled out on Twitter a few days …

Leveraging Audio-Visual Data to Reduce the Multilingual Gap in Self-Supervised Speech Models

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has made significant advances in speech representation learning. Models like wav2vec 2.0 and HuBERT have achieved state-of-the-art results in tasks such as speech recognition, particularly in monolingual settings. However, multilingual SSL models tend to underperform their monolingual counterparts on each individual language, especially in multilingual scenarios with few languages such as the …

GPUs when you need them: Introducing Flex-start VMs

Innovating with AI requires accelerators such as GPUs that can be hard to come by in times of extreme demand. To address this challenge, we offer Dynamic Workload Scheduler (DWS), a service that optimizes access to compute resources when and where you need them. In July, we announced Calendar mode in DWS to provide short-term …

Caltech’s massive 6,100-qubit array brings the quantum future closer

Caltech scientists have built a record-breaking array of 6,100 neutral-atom qubits, a critical step toward powerful error-corrected quantum computers. The qubits maintained long-lasting superposition and exceptional accuracy, even while being moved within the array. This balance of scale and stability points toward the next milestone: linking qubits through entanglement to unlock true quantum computation.
