To Infinity and Beyond: Tool-Use Unlocks Length Generalization in State Space Models

State Space Models (SSMs) have become the leading alternative to Transformers for sequence modeling. Their primary advantage is efficiency in long-context and long-form generation, enabled by fixed-size memory and linear scaling of computational complexity. We begin this work by showing a simple theoretical result stating that SSMs cannot accurately solve any “truly long-form” generation problem …

How to build production-ready AI agents with Google-managed MCP servers

As ​​developers build AI agents with more sophisticated reasoning systems, they require higher-quality fuel–in the form of enterprise data and specialized tools–to drive real business value. To get the most out of that octane-rich mix, we offer Google-managed model context protocol (MCP) servers:  an engine purpose-built for AI agents to interact securely with Google and …

Brain-inspired AI hardware helps autonomous devices operate efficiently and independently

The human brain constantly makes decisions. It requires minimal power to move bodies in a desired direction or avoid an object. A Purdue University engineer uses the brain’s efficiency as inspiration to help autonomous vehicles, such as drones and robots, make crucial, time-sensitive decisions while operating in the field.

Drop-In Perceptual Optimization for 3D Gaussian Splatting

Despite their output being ultimately consumed by human viewers, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) methods often rely on ad-hoc combinations of pixel-level losses, resulting in blurry renderings. To address this, we systematically explore perceptual optimization strategies for 3DGS by searching over a diverse set of distortion losses. We conduct the first-of-its-kind large-scale human subjective study on …
