I trained the missing encoder for YuE2, so we can all bring our own music into it

YuE2 is an impressive open music model. Give it a style prompt and lyrics, and it can make a complete song. Under the hood, it generates “semantic tokens” that are then turned into audio. The trouble is, the encoder that converts existing recordings into those same tokens was never released. That leaves you without a …

Abnormal AI: Amazon Bedrock AgentCore for agentic email security at scale

AI agents now run in production at a scale of billions of operations a day, and a recurring architectural pattern has surfaced: agents need a compute scratch pad. Not only for coding tasks, but for data aggregation, analysis, verification, and any workflow where semantic reasoning alone isn’t enough. Abnormal AI, a behavioral security service that …

TaoMate – H3 3 steps lora used as a refiner

The lora itself at 3 steps is nothing to write home about. If the scene isn’t mostly static, you can expect slowmo jerky motion, smearing and straight broken output with butchered sound. HOWEVER, it has VERY good visual quality without obvious overcooking plaguing the turbo loras. You add as much steps of non accelerated generation …

Testing MiniMax-H3 Physics knowledge Pt2

Some weeks ago, I posted a set of experiments to “understand” the physical knowledge of MiniMax H3 (original post here). The idea was simple: get an open video of somebody pouring water and replace the water with various liquids. No external references were used. In this set of experiments, I switched from liquid-to-liquid replacement to …
