Build with more flexibility: New open models arrive in the Vertex AI Model Garden

In our ongoing effort to provide businesses with the flexibility and choice needed to build innovative AI applications, we are expanding the catalog of open models available as Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) offerings in Vertex AI Model Garden. Following the addition of Llama 4 models earlier this year, we are announcing DeepSeek R1 is available for everyone …

Robots now grow and repair themselves by consuming parts from other machines

Today’s robots are stuck—their bodies are usually closed systems that can neither grow nor self-repair, nor adapt to their environment. Now, scientists at Columbia University have developed robots that can physically “grow,” “heal,” and improve themselves by integrating material from their environment or from other robots.

I’ve made some sampler comparisons. (Wan 2.1 image generation)

Hello, last week I shared this post: Wan 2.1 txt2img is amazing!. Although I think it’s pretty fast, I decided to try different samplers to see if I could speed up the generation. I discovered very interesting and powerful node: RES4LYF. After installing it, you’ll see several new sampler and scheluder options in the KSampler. …

PREAMBLE: Private and Efficient Aggregation via Block Sparse Vectors

We revisit the problem of secure aggregation of high-dimensional vectors in a two-server system such as Prio. These systems are typically used to aggregate vectors such as gradients in private federated learning, where the aggregate itself is protected via noise addition to ensure differential privacy. Existing approaches require communication scaling with the dimensionality, and thus …
