Apple researchers develop STARFlow, a breakthrough AI image generation system that challenges diffusion models used by DALL-E and Midjourney with competitive performance.Read More
Apple took a measured approach to AI at WWDC. A new research paper suggests the company is skeptical about some recent AI advances, too.
Researchers have unveiled a robotic hand, the F-TAC Hand, which integrates high-resolution tactile sensing across an unprecedented 70% of its surface area, allowing for human-like adaptive grasping. This pioneering development, published in Nature Machine Intelligence today, represents a significant leap forward in robotic intelligence and its ability to interact with dynamic real-world environments.
Who needs a fancy name when the shadows and highlights do all the talking? This experimental LoRA is the scrappy cousin of my Samsung one—same punchy light-and-shadow mojo, but trained on a chaotic mix of pics from my ancient phones (so no Samsung for now).

Check out all the new features here: https://github.com/petermg/Chatterbox-TTS-Extended Just over a week ago Chatterbox was released here: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1kzedue/mod_of_chatterbox_tts_now_accepts_text_files_as/ I made a couple posts of the fork I had made and was working on but this update is even bigger than before. submitted by /u/omni_shaNker [link] [comments]
AI agents are moving from passive assistants to active participants. Today, we ask them to do. Tomorrow, we’ll authorize them to act.Read More
Atkinson’s gleeful brilliance helped people draw on computer screens and access information via links.
Unlike birds, which navigate unknown environments with remarkable speed and agility, drones typically rely on external guidance or pre-mapped routes. However, a groundbreaking development by Professor Fu Zhang and researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), has enabled drones and micro air vehicles (MAVs) …
