Smart cameras provide advanced adaptive traffic monitoring

Effective urban traffic management remains a cornerstone of smart city development. With the rise of autonomous vehicles and connected transportation systems, dynamic surveillance solutions are critical to ensuring smooth traffic flow, minimizing accidents, and optimizing efficiency. However, traditional static camera setups often fail to adapt to rapid changes in traffic conditions, resulting in inefficient monitoring …

Controlling Language and Diffusion Models by Transporting Activations

The increasing capabilities of large generative models and their ever more widespread deployment have raised concerns about their reliability, safety, and potential misuse. To address these issues, recent works have proposed to control model generation by steering model activations in order to effectively induce or prevent the emergence of concepts or behaviours in the generated …

Unlock multimodal search at scale: Combine text & image power with Vertex AI

The way users search is evolving. When searching for a product, users might type in natural-sounding language or search with images. In return, they want tailored results that are specific to their query. To meet these demands, developers need robust multimodal search systems. In this blog post, we’ll share a powerful approach to build a …

LlamaV-o1: Curriculum learning–based LLM shows benefits of step-by-step reasoning in AI systems

A team of AI researchers at Mohamed bin Zayed University of AI, in Abu Dhabi, working with a colleague from the University of Central Florida, has developed a curriculum learning–based LLM, called LlamaV-o1, that its makers claim shows the benefits of step-by-step reasoning in AI systems. In their study, published on the arXiv preprint server …

New Year & New Tech – Getting to know the Community’s Setups.

Howdy, I got this idea from all the new GPU talk going around with the latest releases as well as allowing the community to get to know each other more. I’d like to open the floor for everyone to post their current PC setups whether that be pictures or just specs alone. Please do give …
